If your cafe or restaurant offers cakes as part of your menu, then you will definitely need to have a great cake display refrigerator to keep them fresh! However, these kinds of commercial fridges can be quite an investment, even if your cafe has great profit margins. Here we look at the important elements to understand when purchasing this particular piece of equipment.

Budget and Need

The first thing you will need to do is understand how much you are willing to spend and also what exactly you want this cake display fridge to do. Of course it will be to ensure food items are cold, but are you intending to keep other bits and pieces in it, or simply keep it for display only? If you do choose to hold other things in it such as butter or prepared ingredients, you will need to look for a display cabinet with an additional fridge underneath as displaying these things alongside your cakes isn’t very appetising to customers!

If this is your first foray into purchasing a piece of equipment such as this, it’s important to be realistic in allocating a budget. While it may cost a lot for the initial investment, it is a part of running this type of business and will ultimately help to sell more food and beverages.

Research

There is a range of ways to start researching cake display fridges and the best place to start is the internet. By using the world wide web, you will be able to get an idea of all the different brands, models, features, benefits, pricing, and stockists that are around. Once you have figured out which stockists have the type of cake display refrigerator you are looking for, you’ll need to pick up the phone and ask them the following questions:

• Do you have a demonstration model I can come and look at?
• How long will it take to be delivered, if I choose to purchase a cake display fridge from you?
• What are your payment terms?
• Do you have finance available?
• Do your display fridges come with warranties?
• Do you offer extended warranties?
• Do you have a service department, should it break down?
• Do you offer on-site servicing and repairs?

Once a supplier has answered all of these questions for you, if you can, it’s a great idea to go and visit their showroom (if they have one) or have a representative come out and visit you to negotiate on price and make the purchase. It’s much easier to buy a cake display fridge with confidence if you are buying it from someone who knows what they are talking about and who genuinely wants your business!
