- Con: The open design offers no protection for food in self-service environments.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Pier Point Café in Torquay needed to streamline their popular weekend brunch buffet. Their countertop was becoming cluttered, making it difficult for both staff to restock and customers to serve themselves.
"We were looking for a simple solution to make our brunch service look more professional and less chaotic. The APS stands were perfect. They immediately made the counter look tidier and more appealing, and using our existing GN pans was a massive plus."
Ben Carter – Head Chef
The change allowed them to display 50% more food options in the same footprint, leading to better customer flow and reduced congestion during peak hours.

Keeping It Going
- For daily cleaning, simply wipe down with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent.
- The stand is dishwasher safe for a more thorough, hygienic clean when needed.
