Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Salty Gull', a popular seaside bistro in Whitby, North Yorkshire, found their service bottlenecking at the pass during the busy summer season. They needed a way to hold more plated dishes without cluttering their limited counter space, so they invested in the Inomak RD314 gantry.
"It’s such a simple bit of kit, but it’s completely changed our flow. The chefs can plate up and get dishes onto the gantry, freeing them up instantly. The front-of-house team can see exactly what's ready to go. It just calms everything down."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
Since installing the gantry, The Salty Gull has successfully reduced ticket times by an average of four minutes during their busiest periods, improving table turnover and customer satisfaction.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack and check all components against the parts list before you begin.
- Assemble on a clean, flat surface to avoid scratching the steel.
- We recommend two people for assembly to make holding the parts easier.
- Ensure all screws and fixings are securely tightened before placing it on your counter.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down daily with a soft cloth and a food-safe detergent.
- For a deeper clean, use a designated stainless steel cleaner to maintain its shine.
- Avoid using abrasive pads or harsh scourers as they can scratch the surface.
- Periodically check that all fixings remain tight, especially in a busy kitchen.

The Inomak Difference: Built for Kitchen Workflow
Inomak has built a reputation not on flashy gimmicks, but on understanding the real-world pressures of a professional kitchen. A product like the RD314 gantry shelf isn't just a piece of fabricated steel; it's a solution to a universal problem: chaos at the pass. This unit is a perfect example of their philosophy. It's designed for pure function and longevity. The investment in high-grade AISI 304 steel means you're buying a piece of equipment that will resist warping, pitting, and rusting for years, saving you the cost and hassle of replacements. More importantly, it creates an environment of calm and organisation. A clear, well-structured pass reduces staff stress, minimises errors in service, and ultimately allows your team to send out consistently great food faster. That's the real, long-term value Inomak delivers – it’s not just equipment, it's a component for a more profitable and less stressful business.
Explore more from InomakWhy AISI 304 Stainless Steel is the Professional's Choice
You’ll see ‘stainless steel’ everywhere, but the ‘AISI 304’ part is what really matters in a professional kitchen. Think of it as the difference between a standard kitchen knife and a chef's blade. Standard steel can still stain or even rust over time, especially when it's constantly exposed to moisture, heat, and acidic spills like lemon juice or tomato sauce. AISI 304, however, has a higher content of chromium and nickel in its makeup. This creates a tougher, non-porous surface that’s far more resistant to corrosion and chemical reactions. It means your investment won't just look good on day one; it will stay hygienic, strong, and easy to clean for years, even in the most demanding kitchen environment.
