Why this trayslide earns its place
On a self-service salad counter the tray is the problem. A customer needs one hand for the tongs and one for the lid, which leaves nowhere for the tray except balanced on a forearm or set down on the counter top across the wells. A trayslide gives it a run of its own at the front of the unit, at the right height, so the tray moves along with the customer as they work down the line and never ends up over the food.
Because this one is made for a salad well unit rather than sold as a loose rail, it lines up with the unit it is fitted to — the height, the run and the fixing points are already accounted for, so the front of the counter reads as one piece instead of a shelf added afterwards. It sits clear of the wells, which keeps drips and dressing off the trays and keeps the serving edge open for the customer to reach in. At the end of service it cleans down with the rest of the counter.
