Work tables with drawers and doors increase kitchen efficiency — the most important inventory and products are right where they are needed, without the need to go to a separate storage room. This combination reduces staff movement during kitchen work and increases throughput in busy shifts.
Main types of configurations
Work tables with drawers — one or more drawers provide easily accessible storage for small inventory items. Models with 1, 2 or 3 drawers are available in combination with different numbers of shelves. See the full range of work tables with drawers without shelf.
Workbenches with sliding doors — sliding doors are more practical in narrow kitchen aisles, where hinged doors would obstruct movement. See workbenches with sliding doors.
Combined models — drawers and doors in one table offer maximum flexibility for organising items of different sizes. Drawers at the top for small items, doors at the bottom for larger inventory.
Modular shelf systems
In addition to standard models, modular shelves for furniture are also available, allowing the customisation of the table’s lower space with various shelf, drawer and door modules. The modular system is particularly useful for kitchens that are expanding or changing their configuration over time — modules can be added or changed without replacing the entire unit.
Advantages of stainless steel
AISI 304 stainless steel is the standard material for professional kitchen furniture manufacturing. It does not absorb bacteria, is resistant to corrosion and withstands aggressive cleaning agents. Drawers and doors made of stainless steel are easy to disinfect — important when storing tools that come into contact with food. The material ensures durability in intensive commercial use.
HACCP compliance and hygiene
Food industry HACCP requirements state that kitchen inventory must be stored hygienically and protected from contamination. Drawers and doors protect contents from dust, splashes and other sources of contamination. Regular cleaning of drawers and doors is part of the kitchen’s HACCP plan. BHS provides equipment that meets food industry hygiene requirements.
Size and configuration selection
Tables with drawers and doors are available in various widths and lengths — standard width 600 mm or 70 cm, length from 100 cm to 200 cm. The number of drawers and type of doors (sliding or hinged) affect the table’s overall width and ease of use. Sliding doors require less space when opening, while hinged doors provide fuller access to contents. BHS helps choose the right model.
Frequently asked questions
Sliding or hinged doors — which are better?

Maintenance and service life
Stainless steel work tables with drawers and doors typically last 10–20 years in intensive commercial use. Drawer slides and door hinges may require lubrication or adjustment over time. Regular disinfection and cleaning maintain hygiene and appearance. BHS provides kitchen equipment maintenance consultations. Contact BHS to find out about models, prices and delivery options.

Kitchen storage system
An efficient kitchen storage system reduces the time staff spend searching for inventory and improves order in the work area. Tables with drawers and doors are just one part of a comprehensive kitchen storage system. Together with stationary shelves, modular shelf systems and mobile trolleys, they form a complete storage solution. Contact BHS for a full consultation on kitchen equipment and setup.
Choosing work tables with storage by kitchen zones
In the preparation zone, tables with drawers are more popular — drawers provide quick access to small tools. In the thermal processing zone, tables with doors are more commonly used, where frequently used dishes or utensils are stored under the table. In the serving zone, tables with doors provide a clean storage space for disposable items or decorations. BHS helps choose the right configuration for each kitchen zone. By consulting with BHS, you can equip a complete kitchen setup, taking into account both functional and hygiene requirements.
Work table configuration for larger kitchens
Larger kitchens with multiple workstations require a planned approach to storage solutions. Uniform tables throughout the kitchen ensure a consistent look and simplify maintenance. Different configurations for different zones allow each area to be optimised for the specific workflow. BHS helps calculate the required number of tables and configuration according to the kitchen layout and budget. Contact BHS to find out about prices, available models and delivery options.
