A Serving Display Case — a canteen modular system serving display case is a glass protective display case that ensures an attractive visual presentation and hygienic protection of food products; the case allows customers to see and select products while the glass barrier protects food from direct contact in HoReCa businesses.
Serving Display Case construction and materials
A Serving Display Case — the serving display case body is made of stainless steel, which is the standard for HoReCa food equipment; the glass panels are tempered or laminated safety glass, resistant to mechanical stress in a commercial environment. Glass panel configuration — the serving display case can have glass panels at the front and sides, providing three-sided visibility for products; some models also feature a top glass panel, forming a fully enclosed glass case; glass clarity is a key maintenance priority. Internal shelves and racks — inside the serving display case are adjustable metal or glass shelves; the height and number of shelves can be adapted to the size of the products on display; shelf cleaning is a daily procedure; see Canteen Modular Systems.
Temperature configurations for serving display cases
A Serving Display Case — the canteen modular system serving display case is available in three temperature configurations, ensuring an optimal display environment for different food categories. Neutral serving display case — without active heating or cooling; maintains room-temperature products; ideal for baked goods, fruit, and packaged food; the most energy-efficient configuration. Chilled serving display case — with a compressor cooling system that maintains a 2–8°C temperature; ideal for sandwiches, salads, cream-decorated desserts, cheese, and cold cuts; the required temperature for chilled products is HACCP. Heated serving display case — with a heating system that maintains 65°C+; ideal for warm pastries, confectionery, and sandwiches with hot fillings; see Counters with Serving Display Cases.
Serving Display Case in self-service and staffed service models
A Serving Display Case — the serving display case usage model varies depending on the canteen concept: self-service or staffed service. Staffed service model — the serving display case is a closed glass screen at the service front; the customer selects a product and indicates it to the staff; the staff removes the product from the back or side doors of the case and hands it to the customer; the glass protects products from direct customer contact. Self-service model — the serving display case is open or has a bottom opening, allowing the customer to take the product themselves; this model requires careful supervision, as the customer may touch multiple products; see DROP-IN Serving Display Cases and Counter with Hot Granite Surface.
Hygiene and maintenance of the serving display case
A Serving Display Case — daily maintenance of the serving display case is a strict hygiene protocol; cleaning the glass and disinfecting the internal shelves is mandatory in a commercial food service environment. Cleaning the glass several times a day — the serving display case glass shows fingerprints, grease, and condensation; the glass is cleaned with a glass cleaner several times a day; clean glass is also an indicator of visual quality for customers. Disinfecting internal shelves — the inside of the serving display case is fully cleaned after the working day; shelves are removed (if removable), disinfected with a food-safe disinfectant, dried, and put back; the HACCP protocol specifies the cleaning frequency and method; see Canteen Modular Systems.
