Salad Bar Fridges

Commercial salad bar fridges and sandwich prep refrigerators for restaurants, cafés, pizza shops, delis and catering operations — available in marble top, glass top and flat stainless-steel top configurations with GN 1/1 and GN 1/3 insert compatibility. Units sit at 900 mm bench height with refrigerated prep wells and doors below for additional cold storage. For a broader selection of undercounter refrigeration, browse under bench fridges or the full commercial fridges range.

Popular picks include the FED 3 Door Salad Prep Fridge with Marble Top (XGNS1300E) for a durable marble-surface prep station, and the FED 3 Door Salad Prep Fridge with Glass Top (XS903GC) when a see-through lid is preferred for ingredient visibility.

Frequently asked questions

What GN insert sizes fit a salad bar fridge?

Most commercial salad bar fridges are designed around GN 1/3 inserts (176 × 325 mm) across the top well, with some larger units accommodating GN 1/2 and GN 1/1 pans. Check the individual product spec sheet for the exact insert configuration — typically listed as "number of GN 1/3 inserts" in the product description.

Marble top vs glass top salad bar fridge — what's the difference?

Marble top provides a solid work surface for high-intensity prep — robust, easy to wipe down, and useful as an additional preparation area. Glass top gives staff a clear view of the refrigerated well contents without opening inserts, useful in busy café or deli service lines. Both maintain the same refrigerated well temperatures.

What temperature do salad bar fridges operate at?

Commercial salad bar fridges maintain the prep well and storage compartment at 1–8 °C, keeping ingredients within food-safe temperature zones during service. Most units have adjustable thermostats; confirm the operating range in the product spec sheet before ordering.

What is the difference between a salad bar fridge and a sandwich prep fridge?

These terms are largely interchangeable — both describe a refrigerated prep unit with a top well and underbench cold storage. "Sandwich prep" units are sometimes narrower (suited to sub/sandwich lines) while "salad bar" units tend to be wider to accommodate more GN wells. Both fit the same commercial kitchen bench footprint.

Do you deliver salad bar fridges Australia-wide?

Yes — all states and territories. These units ship palletised; 2-person delivery is available for restaurant and café installations with restricted access.
