Bar Equipment: Appearance is Everything
Back bar beer and bottle coolers are one of the most visible pieces of refrigeration in a bar or restaurant, so looks are important. There are many different options to choose from when considering purchasing a unit. The following are several variables to consider:
Exterior Finish
The two most common finishes are black vinyl on steel and stainless steel. Black will blend into your undercounter space more than stainless steel, which is a sleek finish with a modern feel.
Sliding Doors
A sliding door on the top of your cooler makes access to beverages easy and saves your employees the trouble of constantly bending over. While they are more convenient for service, they can be difficult to clean and service since the bottles must all be removed beforehand.
Swing Doors
Coolers with doors that swing open on the front are ideal for use under bar counters but can be a little more inconvenient for employees to access during peak hours.
Door Type
Glass doors are a great way to showcase your products, but they must remain uncluttered and organized to be appealing. To conceal clutter, opt for a solid front door.
