Serving Tables

Serving Tables provide an organised and hygienic food distribution zone in canteen serving lines — the stainless steel work surface is durable, easy to clean and meets HACCP requirements. BHS offers serving tables for canteens and HoReCa establishments across Europe.

Types and technical parameters of Serving Tables

Serving Tables are available in various configurations to suit canteen needs and distribution line layout. Neutral serving tables — work surfaces without heat sources, used for short-term food distribution or as an additional workspace. Tables with under-shelf — the underside is equipped with a shelf or space for storing inventory and accessories. Tables with tray rack — equipped with a rack for accessories or trays in the serving zone. Various width and depth dimensions — tables are available in standard HoReCa sizes 700 mm and 800 mm in depth and in various lengths. Stainless steel — AISI 304 steel work surface, resistant to corrosion and food acids. Adjustable legs — legs adjustable for floor levelling and a uniform height line for the distribution line. BHS helps choose the right table configuration and dimensions according to the canteen distribution line plan.

Importance of Serving Tables in the distribution line

Serving Tables are a core element of the canteen distribution line system. Work surface for staff — tables serve as a workspace for arranging food, serving trays and organising tableware during the serving process. Contact zone separation — tables physically mark the boundary between the customer zone and the food serving zone. Distribution line extension — tables combine with hot, cold and neutral distribution tables to form a complete line. Ergonomics — the correct table height and depth allow staff to work comfortably during intensive serving periods. Modular system — tables combine with Distribution Table Corners and Furniture for Distribution Tables for flexible line configuration. BHS helps design a complete distribution line system with all necessary elements.

HACCP and hygiene

Serving Tables must be selected and maintained in accordance with HACCP requirements in the food distribution zone. Stainless steel work surface — a food-safe material that does not absorb bacteria and is easy to clean with approved cleaning agents in the food industry. Daily cleaning and disinfection — the work surface, legs and underside must be cleaned and disinfected after each mealtime or work shift. Crack and corrosion monitoring — the surface must be regularly checked for damage that could hinder effective cleaning. Storage discipline — chilled food must not be left on the serving table work surface longer than the time specified in regulatory acts. HACCP documentation — cleaning, temperature and equipment maintenance data must be recorded in the canteen’s HACCP plan. BHS provides serving table service and spare parts for canteens.
