Bistros, fast food restaurants, hot food stands in supermarkets or mobile food trucks are gaining in popularity. Their great advantage is that ordered food is served almost immediately. This would not be possible if it were not for special heating devices that make it possible to maintain the right temperature, humidity, consistency and taste of the food served for a longer period of time. Such equipment undoubtedly includes a heated serve over counter, which, in addition to keeping food warm, also perfectly displays it, making it easier for customers to choose and compose their meals. What can be stored in a heated counter and in which business will it work best? Below you will find a useful tips.

What foods to put in the heated serve over counters

The heated serve over counters is an device designed to accommodate prepared food or food components. The food can be boiled, fried or baked. It is only worth paying attention to whether all the products you intend to keep in the counter require a similar temperature and whether their aroma is not too intense to be transferred to other food.  The device is ideal for storing:

•     soups
•     sauces,
•     cooked vegetables,
•     side dishes such as rice, grits, potatoes or chips,
•     cooked, roasted or fried meats,
•     stews,
•     one-pot dishes - e.g. risotto, pasta with sauce.

Where heated serve over counters work best

As we mentioned, heated counters are the best solution for establishments serving quick meals, as they make it possible to serve a large number of people in a relatively short period of time. Pre-prepared hot dishes transferred to practical G-N containers and then placed inside the counter stay warm and ready to eat for a longer period of time. In the case of RAPA units, the size and arrangement of the containers can be flexibly adjusted to suit your needs, thanks to the sliding guides that support the containers. Such a display is ideal for places such as:

•     canteens
•     fast-food restaurants,
•     hot food stands in supermarkets and petrol stations,
•     restaurants in hotels,
•     food trucks.

The heated serve over counters complemented by the neutral cash counters and refrigerated counters of the SiX line, which can store cold dishes such as various types of salads, salads or starters, create a functional and very aesthetic set of equipment for these types of places. The wide choice of colours and accessories will allow them to fit into any design.
