Only the best fridge will do
Refrigeration is crucial to many companies that rely on consistently chilled products for the success of their business. Refrigeration performance can make or break your business in many ways, including whether drinks are cold every time to ensure safe, fresh ingredients, with maximum visibility.
Premium commercial refrigeration will deliver on all your requirements and more. But when it comes to selecting the right refrigeration for you, the choices are endless, and the stakes are high. How do you know you are selecting the right choice for your business?
Quality of the build
The ability to keep your food and drink consistently cool and safe comes right back to basics; the build quality. Utilisation of the best materials, such as 304 Stainless Steel, low-argon glass, and hard-wearing components ensures consistent temperature throughout and holds the cold air better. All this requires less energy required to run the cabinet and makes it far more energy-efficient.
Energy efficiency
Energy costs account for up to 30% of outgoings in the hospitality industry and refrigeration is responsible for a significant portion of that. It's important to consider the energy efficiency of a cabinet before purchasing. A fridge that is cheap to buy upfront may cost you three times what a more expensive product would have. GEMS regulates and reports on energy efficiency in refrigeration. You can check and compare any product's performance here to see how your choices stack up.
Proven track record
While you might be able to pick up cheap refrigeration these days, it's important to consider the long-term repercussions of this. Refrigeration that comes with a proven track record of reliance and long-standing quality will ultimately save you more money down the track. If you can get 10-15 years of life out of a premium product, you are savings thousands in replacement costs that a cheaper alternative would require.

“SKOPE is a very important part of the picture because we need concepts that work on many levels – our venues need to be labour-efficient and maintenance-efficient, and we need the confidence that the equipment we choose can be relied upon.”
