Glass Door Refrigerator / Visi Cooler for hospital kitchens and ward pantries

Staff and visitor cafeteria cooler for bottled drinks, flavoured milk, curd and packed sandwiches.

Hospital cafeterias and kiosks serve doctors and nurses coming off long shifts and visitors at every hour, frequently from a small counter with one or two staff. A glass-door cooler lets people pick water, buttermilk, flavoured milk, curd cups and packed sandwiches themselves, which keeps the queue short at shift change and visiting hours. Because a hospital cafeteria trades through the night, packed food may sit in the cooler for many hours, so the cooler must be set for food-safe temperatures rather than drinks settings, and stock must be rotated by date. Keeping cafeteria stock in its own cooler also stops it drifting into ward pantries, where food needs to be traceable.
