GN Containers M

GN containers M serve as a universal organizer tool in the bar environment — standardized GN dimensions allow them to be systematically arranged on the bar’s chilled work surface, in refrigerators and on GN shelves, ensuring quick access to the products bartenders need and reducing preparation time during high-service throughput. BHS offers GN containers M to HoReCa businesses across Europe.

GN M container features

GN containers M are designed for professional bar and HoReCa work surface organization. Gastronorm compatibility — the M series containers comply with the gastronorm standard (GN 1/3, 1/4, 1/6 and others) and fit into standard GN bar work surface cutouts and cooling lines. Optimal bar size — smaller GN fractions (1/3, 1/4, 1/6) are the most common format for bar mis en place organization, as they suit most bar-sized products. Durable material — high-quality plastic or stainless steel options for intensive bar use. Transparent and opaque options — transparent containers for quick product identification, opaque for better heat and light insulation. Airtight lids — matching lids available for product protection during storage. BHS helps select the most suitable GN containers M based on bar configuration.

Where to use GN containers M in the bar

GN containers M are essential bar mis en place equipment in high-throughput HoReCa businesses. Cocktail bar or craft bar — GN containers M in the bartender’s mis en place station: fruits, herbs, garnishes, syrups, salt, sugar — each in its own GN M container on the chilled work surface. Café or smoothie bar counter — GN containers M for organizing various toppings and ingredients in the counter zone for quick preparation. Fast food or quick service drink bar — GN containers M for organizing prepared and raw product components for faster service.

Hygiene and temperature control

Hygiene of GN containers M in the bar work zone is important for complying with HACCP requirements. Daily cleaning — GN containers should be cleaned in a dishwasher after each service; dirty containers must not be reused. Product labelling — each GN M container with contents must be labelled with the date and time according to the HACCP principle, especially if products are stored for more than 2 hours. Temperature control — products requiring refrigeration (fruits, dairy products) should be stored in GN containers M on the chilled work surface or in the cooling line above 0°C / below +4°C. Dishwasher cleaning — both plastic and stainless steel GN containers are suitable for dishwasher cleaning at professional temperatures. Damaged container replacement — containers showing cracks or damage should be replaced immediately.
