Restaurant refrigeration equipment ranges from small coolers to large walk-in freezers and refrigerators.
Be careful when it comes to selecting the right type of restaurant refrigerators for your business to make sure your commercial kitchen runs smoothly and contributes to a positive experience for staff and customers, not to mention the health factor.
Most common types of Restaurant Refrigerators
Reach-in Coolers
They are the most commonly used in bar areas of the restaurant and service stations. A reach-in cooler, as its name suggests, is low to the ground, with usually two doors for staff to reach in for items. Reach-ins work best if they are isolated from the cooking line and all kitchen heat. The main purpose of this particular placement is to keep the food stored inside at safe holding temperatures.
Walk-in Coolers
Walk-in coolers come in various sizes, starting from a small closet to as big as a living room. Walk-ins are ideal for holding large boxes of produce, buckets of food and anything that is large and perishable. Food-grade shelves, wall covering, and flooring have to be used in this type of restaurant refrigerator.
Refrigeration Drawers
Quite commonly known as fish drawers, under-counter refrigeration drawers are perfect for small restaurant kitchens. They are designed to be installed directly into the cooking line and can hold meat, poultry or seafood.
Restaurant Freezers
Just like the equipment listed above, they can be either reach-ins or walk-ins. It is important to know that restaurant freezers aren’t a place to store or make ice. Investing in an ice machine is a good idea for this purpose.
Bar Refrigerators
Often known as low boys or high boys. White wines, bottled beer, or any other canned beverages are stored in bar coolers. You might need a bigger cooling space for bar kegs and other large items.

How can I keep fresh produce lasting longer in my commercial fridge?

Answer

It comes down to temperature consistency, humidity, airflow, and how your stock is stored. Overloaded shelves, poor airflow, and fluctuating temperatures are the biggest culprits when fruits and vegetables deteriorate faster than they should. A well-maintained refrigeration system holds conditions steady, which makes a real difference to shelf life and overall wastage.

Why does my restaurant kitchen fridge keep breaking down?

Answer

Frequent breakdowns are usually a sign of something bigger going on, whether that’s an overloaded electrical circuit, poor ventilation around the unit, or a system that’s working harder than it should because of how the kitchen is set up. Refrigeration doesn’t operate in isolation. It’s affected by the heat, airflow, and electrical load around it. Our guide on what every commercial kitchen needs to run smoothly looks at how these things work together and what to stay on top of.
