Metal tables with sink and doors are professional kitchen tables made of stainless steel with one sink and a closed lower section with doors — a solution for kitchens where protected storage space against moisture and a visually tidy appearance are needed. The doors protect the lower storage space from splashes and ensure a neat, presentable look. Stainless steel meets the hygiene requirements of the food industry and ensures a long service life. BHS offers these tables as part of the Work Tables with Sinks and Basins range to HoReCa businesses across Europe.

A stainless steel table with sink and doors combines washing functionality with a closed, protected storage space. This configuration is chosen for kitchens where both moisture protection and a visually tidy appearance are important in professional kitchens.
Closed lower section with doors
A closed lower section with doors protects stored items from moisture splashes, which are unavoidable near washing areas. Cleaning agents, utensils and spare items under the sink are kept clean and protected from moisture. The doors also give the equipment a neater, more presentable look — this is important in restaurants and cafés where part of the kitchen area is visible to customers. Premium-class restaurants and cafés often choose the closed configuration to maintain a professional image.
Advantages of stainless steel
Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, does not absorb microorganisms and can be fully disinfected with standard food industry cleaning agents. The equipment is durable under intensive use. The smooth metal surface ensures a high hygiene standard, which is a mandatory requirement in HoReCa businesses. Stainless steel equipment complies with sanitary regulations and promotes food safety.
Doors or shelf
An open shelf provides quicker access, while doors offer better moisture protection. Doors are more suitable if cleaning agents or other utensils that need to be protected from moisture are stored under the table. Shelf options are ideal for kitchens where speed is a priority. BHS offers both options — tables with sink and shelf and this model with doors.
Single or double sink configuration
A single-sink table with doors is more compact and suitable for kitchens with moderate washing needs. If two sinks are required for different washing procedures, BHS offers tables with two sinks and doors. The choice between options is based on washing volume and kitchen hygiene procedure requirements.
Hygiene and sanitary regulations
HoReCa businesses operate in accordance with sanitary regulations that require specific washing zones and hygiene procedures. Stainless steel washing equipment meets these requirements. A closed lower section additionally protects stored utensils from contamination that can come from moisture in the washing area. Regular cleaning and disinfection maintain the necessary hygiene standard.
Size and configuration selection
Tables with sink and doors are available in various widths. Smaller models fit in compact kitchens, while wider ones provide greater washing capacity. BHS helps businesses choose the right table size and configuration according to kitchen space and washing volume.
Installation and maintenance
The table is installed by connecting the water supply and drainage. Regular cleaning maintains the required hygiene standard. Door hinges and locking mechanisms may require maintenance over time.
Closed storage in bar and kitchen equipment
In kitchens and bar areas where food and drink preparation takes place in view of customers, a closed lower section is an advantage. Doors on the washing table protect stored items from splashes and at the same time ensure a neat, presentable appearance. Premium restaurants and cafés with partially visible kitchens appreciate that closed storage space visually enhances the kitchen area. Restaurants with an open kitchen concept choose tables with doors to maintain a tidy scene for customers.
Sanitary regulations and hygiene
Food industry sanitary regulations set strict requirements for maintaining washing areas. A closed storage space under the sink is easier to meet disinfection requirements — cleaning agents and chemicals are stored separately from open shelves where dust or moisture can accumulate. A stainless steel table with doors makes it easier to comply with regular hygiene inspections and demonstrates compliance with regulatory requirements. BHS helps businesses choose equipment that meets sanitary regulations.
Café with open kitchen concept
Cafés with an open kitchen concept, where the barista’s work area is visible to customers, often choose stainless steel tables with doors. The closed lower section ensures that stored items are not visible to customers, creating a professional and tidy impression. Doors on a stainless steel sink are also a more aesthetically pleasing option for open kitchen areas. BHS advises cafés on equipment selection for open kitchen concepts.
Purchase and size planning
When choosing the table size, consider the kitchen space width, the location of water connections and the required storage space behind the doors. Larger models with wider doors provide more storage space. BHS helps HoReCa businesses choose the most suitable size and configuration according to space parameters.
