Use a heated food countertop display if you're short on space

Floor space can get used up pretty quickly in a small restaurant. You want your customers to be able to see everything they can get but you may not have any room left for a display case. The solution is to get a heated countertop display case to set up on your counter. Another upside to this is that the food is at eye level with your customers.

I recommend: Show off warm pastries and other confections with a display cabinet from The Restaurant Source Equipment and Supply. Use a rotating countertop display case for pizzas from BigTray.

Entice your customers with a commercial food heated display

Larger display cases are needed when you have either a lot of food to show or large items to display, like whole pizza pies. You can use a glass-front cabinet and allow your customers to take what they'd like or you can use a heated display that is only accessible to your staff.

I recommend: Display ready-to-grab plates of food in a two section reach-in warming cabinet from Kitchen Restaurant Supply. Or, keep control of what your customers can take using a heated display case from Instawares Restaurant Supply.

Set up a commercial heated buffet case

Buffets are popular amongst people who like to eat a variety of foods. The one downside to this is germs. You must protect your buffet dishes from sneezes, coughs and things accidentally falling into the pans. A heated buffet case will do the job as well as keep your food warm.

I recommend: Order the right size buffet case from AAA Commercial Products. Check out a countertop buffer warmer with a heated base from InstaOffice.com. If you've found the perfect warmer but still need the sneeze guard, ADM Sneezeguards has you covered.
