Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Walled Garden Bistro in Bath was struggling with their old static hot cupboard, which couldn't keep pace with their busy weekend service, leading to lukewarm plates and rushed plating. They upgraded to the Inomak fan assisted hot cupboard with gantry to improve their service flow.
"The consistency is what has made the biggest difference. We know every plate is hot, and the gantry gives our chefs breathing room to plate perfectly without the food getting cold. It has calmed our service down immensely."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
Since installation, the bistro has virtually eliminated complaints about food temperature and increased their service speed by an estimated 20% during peak periods.

Keeping It Going

- Regularly check that all 6 of the gantry's halogen lamps are working correctly.

Explore more from InomakWhat Does 'Fan-Assisted' Really Mean for Your Kitchen?
You've probably seen 'fan-assisted' on your oven at home, and the principle here is exactly the same, just on a much bigger scale. In a standard, 'static' hot cupboard, the heat rises from the element at the bottom, which can often lead to the plates at the top being much hotter than those at the bottom. Fan-assisted heating changes all that. A fan actively circulates the hot air all around the inside of the cupboard, a bit like a whirlwind of warmth. This eliminates hot and cold spots, ensuring that every single one of the 695 plates is heated to the same, consistent temperature. It means no more guesswork and no more serving a perfect steak on a lukewarm plate.
