Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Ferry Stop Café in Southampton needed a better way to display their hot pastries during the busy morning commuter rush. Their old unit was small and only accessible from the front, causing a bottleneck at the counter.
"The Buffalo cabinet has been a revelation. We can restock from our side without getting in the customers' way, and the food stays consistently hot. The display is so much more professional and inviting now."
Robert Green – Owner
Since the upgrade, the café has seen a 30% rise in breakfast pastry sales and a noticeable improvement in service speed.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a stable, level countertop with plenty of space for air to circulate around the unit.
- Before first use, give the interior, glass, and shelves a quick wipe with a food-safe cleaner.
- Position it close to a standard 13-amp socket, and avoid using extension leads for safety.
- Allow the cabinet to pre-heat for 15-20 minutes to reach your desired temperature before loading food.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the glass doors daily with a suitable glass cleaner to keep the display crystal clear.
- Remove shelves and clean the interior at the end of service to prevent food residue from building up.
- Ensure the sliding door tracks are kept clean and free of crumbs for smooth, effortless operation.
- Periodically check that the internal light is working to keep your products looking their best.
