Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Whitby was struggling with fridge organisation. Their team was wasting time and stock using a jumble of mismatched, poor-quality containers that would crack and stain easily.
“These Camsquares are brilliant. We can see exactly what we have at a glance, they stack perfectly, and we’re not losing tubs of prep at the back of the fridge anymore. It's made the whole kitchen flow better.”
Robert Davies – Head Chef
By standardising their storage with Cambro, the bistro reduced its weekly food prep waste by nearly 25% and sped up its service prep time.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before its first use, give the container a good wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
- For an airtight and liquid-tight seal, be sure to pair it with the correct-sized Cambro Seal Cover (sold separately).
- Label your container clearly. A simple sticker or a non-permanent marker on the side works wonders for organisation.
Keeping It Going
- The container is fully commercial dishwasher safe for fast, hygienic cleaning.
- To keep it crystal clear, avoid using abrasive sponges or scouring pads which can scratch the surface.
- After washing, make sure the drain holes in the handles are clear to prevent water from pooling.
- Stack them neatly when dry to save valuable shelf space in your kitchen or storeroom.

Ever had measurement markings on a container fade or rub off after a few dozen washes? It’s a common problem that leads to guesswork and inconsistent results. Cambro solves this with molded-in graduations. Think of it like the difference between a cheap printed t-shirt that fades and a high-quality embroidered one. The markings are physically part of the container itself, not just printed on the surface. This means they will never disappear, no matter how many times you send the container through a hot commercial dishwasher. Your team can follow recipes with pinpoint accuracy every single time, ensuring your signature soup tastes the same today as it does next month, without ever needing a separate measuring jug.
Who Should Buy This?
- Restaurants & Pubs: Perfect for bulk-prepping sauces, soups, or marinating meats, keeping your service running without a hitch.
- Bakeries & Patisseries: A fantastic choice for proving large batches of dough or storing dry goods like flour and sugar hygienically.
- Mobile Caterers & Event Planners: This stackable and durable Cambro FreshPro catering container is ideal for transporting ingredients securely.
- Delis & Cafés: Great for holding pre-cut sandwich fillings, fresh salads, or bulk ingredients in the walk-in fridge.
