Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Daily Grind, a busy city-centre coffee shop in Leeds, needed to upgrade their tired, small display fridge. They were struggling to keep up with the lunchtime rush and wanted a unit that would both improve capacity and make their grab-and-go selection look more appealing.
"Our old unit just wasn't cutting it. This Infrico merchandiser not only looks the part but keeps everything at the perfect temperature, even on our busiest days. The customers have definitely noticed the difference in presentation."
Michael Davies – Owner
After installation, The Daily Grind saw a noticeable uptick in takeaway sales, reporting a 25% increase in grab-and-go revenue within the first month.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before it arrives, double-check that the unit's dimensions will fit through all doorways and corridors.
- Position the merchandiser on a completely flat, level surface to ensure it runs correctly.
- Leave it to stand unplugged for at least 4 hours to allow the refrigerant gasses to settle after transport.
- Place it away from direct heat sources like ovens, radiators, or sunny windows for best performance.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the stainless steel interior and exterior surfaces daily with a soft cloth and food-safe cleaner.
- Gently brush or vacuum the condenser coils at the back or base every few months to remove dust build-up.
- Ensure the sliding door tracks are kept clean and free from debris for a smooth, sealing action.
- Always use the pull-down night blind when you close up shop to conserve energy and reduce strain on the motor.
