Worktop Refrigerators

Best Worktop Refrigerators for Commercial Kitchens

A worktop refrigerator gives you two essential pieces of equipment in one footprint: cold storage below and a durable prep surface on top. Instead of walking between a reach-in refrigerator and a separate prep table, your team can store ingredients and work on them in the same spot. That means fewer steps, faster prep, and a more efficient kitchen.

These units are built for busy commercial kitchens where space and speed both matter. Whether you're running a restaurant line, food truck, café, or catering operation, a worktop refrigerator keeps ingredients at safe temperatures while giving you the workspace you need to plate, portion, and prep throughout service.

At GoFoodservice, we offer worktop refrigerators from trusted brands like Atosa, Beverage-Air, Continental Refrigerator, Hoshizaki, True Refrigeration, Turbo Air, and U-Star. Choose from one, two, or three door configurations, drawer models for quick pan access, and various widths to fit your kitchen layout.

Why Choose a Worktop Refrigerator?

If you've ever watched your prep team make repeated trips between the cooler and the cutting board, you know how much time those steps add up to over a shift. A worktop refrigerator eliminates that inefficiency by putting cold storage right where the work happens. Your ingredients stay cold, your team stays in position, and prep moves faster.

Beyond efficiency, these units are designed for the demands of commercial kitchens. Stainless steel tops handle the daily wear of prep work, while the refrigerated cabinet below maintains consistent 33-40°F temperatures. Front-breathing models fit flush against walls, and drawer configurations let you slide out full pans for quick access. Self-closing doors, digital thermostats, and removable gaskets make daily operation and cleaning straightforward.

Isn't it better to have cold storage and prep space combined in one efficient unit rather than taking up floor space with separate equipment? That's exactly what a worktop refrigerator delivers.

What to Look for in a Worktop Refrigerator

When shopping for a worktop refrigerator, you'll want to match the unit to your kitchen layout, prep volume, and workflow. Not every operation needs the same capacity or configuration.

Some things to consider when choosing a worktop refrigerator include:

• Number of doors (1, 2, or 3) or drawers based on your storage needs
• Width to fit your available space and prep line
• Depth based on your kitchen layout and reach requirements
• Door vs. drawer access depending on your workflow
• Front-breathing vs. rear-venting condenser for your installation
• Flat top vs. standard raised edge based on your prep needs
• And more!

A worktop refrigerator is a smart investment for any commercial kitchen that needs cold storage and prep space without sacrificing floor space. It streamlines your workflow and keeps ingredients accessible throughout service.
