Collection: Open Display Fridges

Hospitality Connect stocks 34 open display fridges for cafes, delis, convenience stores and food retail. The range covers self serve multideck chillers and open front beverage and food display units with adjustable shelves, from brands including Tecnodom, Thermaster and Skope.

The first decision is footprint. A low height unit suits a cafe counter and grab and go sandwiches, while a full height multideck holds far more stock and merchandises a wider product mix. Shelf configuration is the second decision, since adjustable shelves let you switch between bottled drinks, packaged salads and chilled ready meals as your range changes. Also consider where the cabinet sits, because an open front chiller works hardest in a warm or draughty space and performs best away from direct airflow and sunlight.

Why buy open display fridges from Hospitality Connect

• Curated for Australian commercial kitchens: Every line is selected against the realities of AU service — voltage, room dimensions, council rules, ambient temperatures.
• Brand-direct relationships: We deal directly with manufacturers and importers, so you get current models and the right parts when you need them.
• Field-tested specs: Sizes, gauges and capacities listed on each product reflect what actually works in service, not glossy brochure numbers.
• Tech support that picks up: Pre and post-sale phone lines staffed by people who know commercial kitchens.
• Warranty handled here: We process the claim with the manufacturer; you keep cooking.

Open display fridges care and longevity

• Inspect door gaskets fortnightly: A torn gasket forces the compressor to overrun and warms the load.
• Vacuum the front grille: Greasy bar environments block condensers within days; check weekly.
• Don't overload the shelves: Cold air needs to circulate; over-stacking warms the centre stock.
• Verify temperature with a probe: Onboard displays drift; spot-check with a calibrated probe weekly.
• Light the fridge from the inside: LED interior lighting reduces heat load vs older halogen displays.
