Opening a café? Renovating your restaurant?
Or perhaps starting your first grill house and feeling a bit lost in the world of equipment?
Well, if there’s one thing you can’t afford to get wrong, it’s your professional refrigerator.
It’s the core of quality, hygiene, and — why not? — presentation.

But the right refrigerator isn’t just a box that cools.
It’s the one that fits your business needs, saves energy, lasts over time, and makes the most of your available space.
Let’s go through it step by step — no technical jargon, just practical experience and useful insight.

Step 1: What Type of Business Do You Run?

Each food service business has different needs. Here are a few examples:

  • Café: You’ll need compact undercounter fridges behind the bar, ice makers, beverage coolers, and if you offer take-away, a display case for desserts or snacks.

  • Restaurant: Focus on preserving raw materials, quick kitchen access, and proper ergonomics. GN refrigerators, freezers, and cold rooms are often essential.

  • Grill House: You’ll deal with a larger volume of fresh products and high consumption. Meat display cases and refrigerators with positive/negative temperatures make the difference.

Step 2: Interior Space & Ergonomics – Don’t Cramp Your Staff

Your refrigerator should fit your layout but also allow employees to move comfortably.
Nobody wants to perform acrobatics to reach a carton of milk or a bag of meat.

Pro Tip: Measure not only the installation area but also the doors, passageways, and counter heights.
A few centimeters can make a huge difference in your daily workflow.

Step 3: Type of Refrigerator – Match It to Your Pace

Not all fridges serve the same purpose.
Here are a few common types:

  • Undercounter refrigerators: Perfect for behind the bar or small kitchens.

  • Upright refrigerators: For larger storage — ideal for restaurants.

  • Display refrigerators: Showcase your products and drive sales.

  • Chest freezers or cold rooms: For businesses that handle large stock volumes.

Step 4: Energy Efficiency – Look Beyond the Label

We know what you’re thinking: “All professional fridges consume a lot of power.”
Not anymore.
Cormofrost offers advanced models featuring modern refrigerants, efficient compressors, and eco-friendly systems that save you money in the long run.

Check for:

  • kWh/24h consumption (not just A/B/C class)

  • Refrigerant type (e.g. R290)

  • Energy label or eco mode availability

Step 5: Humidity, Temperature & Product Preservation

You don’t have to be a food technologist to make the right choice — but you should know what your products need.

  • Deli meats prefer a drier environment.

  • Fruits and desserts require stable temperature without sudden shifts.

  • Fresh meat needs a specific range, usually +2°C to +4°C.

Cormofrost display units and refrigerators maintain consistent cooling, proper humidity levels, and easy cleaning — because hygiene is non-negotiable.

Step 6: Appearance, Lighting & Product Presentation

If you run a café or a self-service grill house, first impressions matter.
LED lighting, glass doors, and ergonomic shelving help your refrigerator sell before the product does.

Keep your display clean, bright, and inviting.
Your refrigerator is part of your store’s interior design, not just another appliance.

Step 7: Maintenance & Support – Who’s There When Something Goes Wrong?

Refrigeration runs 24/7, so you need durable equipment and reliable after-sales support.
At Cormofrost, after-sales service isn’t a footnote — it’s a commitment.

You get:

  • Genuine spare parts

  • Responsive technical support

  • Performance warranty

  • Expert advice on installation and calibration

Final Thoughts

A professional refrigerator isn’t just a purchase — it’s an investment that impacts your product quality, customer experience, energy costs, and workflow efficiency.
Choosing wisely can save you stress, expenses, and — yes — even those melted ice cubes at the worst possible time.
