Saladette Fridges
Saladette fridges are refrigerated prep counters with a GN pan gantry for salad, sandwich and cold-fill ingredients, built for kitchens assembling made-to-order salads, sandwiches and cold dishes at speed. Sandwich bars, cafes, pubs and dark kitchens run them, with door count (single to four-door) driving base storage and GN pan count matching the range of fillings on the menu.

Saladette Fridges — FAQs
What’s the difference between a saladette and a pizza prep counter?
A saladette has a flat GN pan gantry suited to salad and sandwich fillings, while a pizza prep counter has a similar gantry but is typically paired with dough storage and sized around pizza-specific topping ranges.
How many GN pans does a saladette fridge need for a sandwich bar?
A typical sandwich or salad bar needs 4-6 GN 1/3 or 1/4 pans for core fillings, while wider menus or busier sites may need 6-9 pans across a longer gantry.
