Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Platform Pantry, a bustling kiosk at Manchester Piccadilly Station, needed to replace their old, unreliable food warmer to better handle the morning commuter rush and improve product visibility.
"Our old unit was tired and customers couldn't really see what we had. The new Buffalo display is brilliant – it’s bright, modern, and the sliding doors make serving so much faster during peak times. People are definitely buying with their eyes now."
David Chen – Owner
Following the installation, the kiosk saw a 25% increase in sales of hot savoury pastries within the first month.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a flat, stable countertop with good ventilation and easy access to a 13A socket.
- Before first use, wash the shelves and water pan with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
- Fill the water pan with a small amount of fresh water to help maintain food humidity.
- Plug in and allow the unit to reach your desired temperature before loading it with food.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the glass daily with a suitable food-safe cleaner to keep it sparkling and inviting.
- Remove and clean the crumb tray and water pan at the end of each day's service.
- Always unplug the merchandiser and allow it to cool completely before attempting any deep cleaning.
- Periodically check the plug and power cord for any signs of wear and tear for safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the best temperature to keep pies and pasties?
A: For cooked, hot-held food, a temperature between 65°C and 75°C is ideal to keep it safe and appetising without drying it out.
Q: Can I adjust the height of the shelves?
A: Yes, the three chrome-plated shelves are fully adjustable, allowing you to customise the interior to fit products of different sizes.
Q: How does the water pan actually work?
A: The water in the pan gently evaporates, creating a humid atmosphere inside the cabinet which prevents food like pastries from becoming dry over time.
Q: Is this unit easy to restock during a busy service?
A: Absolutely. The rear sliding doors are specifically designed for quick and easy staff access from behind the counter.
Q: What kind of power supply does it need?
A: It runs on a standard UK mains supply and comes fitted with a 13A plug, so no special wiring is needed.
Q: Is the internal lighting replaceable?
A: The unit uses long-lasting, energy-efficient LED lighting which is designed to last for many years of commercial use.
Q: How often should I change the water in the humidity pan?
A: It's best practice to empty, clean, and refill the water pan with fresh water at the start of each day.
Q: Is this merchandiser suitable for self-service?
A: This model is designed for assisted service, as access is via the rear doors. For self-service, you would typically need a unit with front-opening doors.
