Merchandising Refrigeration

Merchandising refrigeration puts chilled and frozen stock in front of customers rather than behind a solid door. This range covers 261 lines, including cold food display, deli display, gelato display, open display fridges and supermarket refrigeration and freezers, with Thermaster, Cossiga and Ital Proget among the brands stocked.

Choose a display fridge on what it holds, how customers reach it and where it sits. Open display fridges lift impulse sales but use more energy and are sensitive to draughts and room temperature. Glass door cabinets hold temperature more reliably and suit drinks and packaged product. Check the cabinet climate class against your venue, because an undersized unit in a hot room runs constantly.

Why buy merchandising refrigeration from Hospitality Connect

• Three brand ranges in stock — Polar, Bonvue, and Skope — covering uprights, multidecks, back-bar, and bottle coolers.
• Pre-sale sizing help: tell us frontage and product mix, we'll spec the right unit width and capacity.
• Manufacturer warranty carried direct; service coordination through HC if anything fails in the first year.
• Freight booked to commercial address with tail-lift access for bulky upright units and multidecks.
• LED-lit interior on most current models — dramatically improves product visibility versus fluorescent.
• Trade pricing on full venue fitouts; spec compatibility checked across cold-chain ranges before invoice.

Merchandising fridge care and longevity

• Vacuum the condenser coil monthly — dust buildup is the number-one cause of premature compressor failure.
• Inspect glass-door gaskets quarterly; even small splits force the compressor to over-cycle and lift the energy bill silently.
• Wipe glass externally with non-streaking cleaner daily — fingerprints and dust read as poor presentation immediately to customers.
• For multidecks, sanitise the night-blind interior weekly; biofilm forms quickly in moist refrigerated environments.
• Don't block air return paths inside the cabinet; uneven airflow creates warm spots and food-safety risks.
• Calibrate digital thermostats annually against a probe thermometer; food-safety compliance depends on accurate readings.
