Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Mill Tavern in Stirling, Scotland, was struggling with their Sunday carvery service. Their old, smaller hot cupboard simply couldn't keep up with demand, creating a bottleneck at the pass and leading to complaints about lukewarm food.
"The difference is night and day. Service is smoother, the food stays hot, and the kitchen team is far less stressed. We can plate up with confidence knowing everything will be perfect when it reaches the table."
Callum McGregor – Head Chef
After installing the Inomak hot cupboard, The Old Mill Tavern saw a 30% reduction in service times during their busiest periods, dramatically improving customer satisfaction.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Position the unit on a flat, stable surface, using the adjustable feet to get it perfectly level.
- Leave a small gap (around 10cm) at the back and sides for proper air circulation to prevent overheating.
- Before the first use, give all interior and exterior stainless steel surfaces a thorough wipe-down with a food-safe cleaner.
- It uses a standard 13 amp plug, so simply connect it to a suitable wall socket. No electrician needed.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down all surfaces daily with a soft cloth and mild detergent to maintain hygiene and appearance.
- Regularly remove and clean the internal perforated shelf to prevent any food debris from building up.
- When cool, carefully wipe the halogen gantry lamps to remove any grease or dust that could reduce their effectiveness.
- Periodically check that the door seals are clean and intact to ensure maximum heat retention and efficiency.

It means no more guesswork and no more sending a less-than-perfect dish out to a customer.
