Cold Room or Fridge? What to choose?

Hello, today we would like to talk about a good question and it is “What to choose?”. We will be choosing between a Cold Room or a Fridge that you might want to install in your restaurant or cafe.

Let us tell you a quick story before we actually start helping you to make the right choice. One of our regular customers runs a good Italian restaurant in London, we will not tell the name of it, simply because nobody pays us for it :) So this guy is in this business for the last 10 - 11 years and he knows how to make everything perfect both for his customers and for his restaurant, however before he met us he was doing one simple mistake over and over again! The mistake was based on the wrong choice made at the beginning of starting this business. When he just opened the restaurant he was in doubt what to buy: a fridge or cold room? And he decided to buy a fridge, because he did not expect a huge food turnover that he has now and he thought that if he needs more space he will simply buy another fridge. What do you think up he had in the end? We tell you! He had 4 big fridges and 2 small, which were breaking up a few times every month. So this is how we met :)

After a few call outs our engineers explained him that it will never end (and here we start explaining you what you should look at when you make your decision regarding fridges and cold rooms). First of all think how many space you need to fit that amount of fridges. Secondly, think about the amount of work needs to be performed for supporting all your equipment. And the last thing but one of the most important is money, think about how much will you have to spend every month on all those fridges.

That is why, we offered him to change all those big fridges on one cold room that will provide more space and require less energy and engineering support. He agreed to do it after 10 minutes after the offer. That was a wise decision that made his restaurant life easier and more efficient.

Let’s highlight the main points of everything that was said:

• Forecast the future of your cafe/restaurant
  
• Evaluate the food turnover
  
• Measure the space
  
• Calculate the energy and maintenance expenses
  
• Give us a call for consultation
  

That is it, these real story and simple steps should help you to run your business smother. Thank you for reading.
