Look underneath the counters in your restaurant, what do you see? You’re most likely looking at poorly stacked boxes, flimsy shelving or wasted empty space. It can be difficult to efficiently utilize undercounter areas while also complying with food safety protocols. Cambro’s new Elements Series Undercounter Units don’t make you choose between the two.

With the limited amount of storage in the back of most restaurants, foodservice operators must take advantage of every inch of space that is available. Cambro’s latest addition to the Elements Series shelving family features the same durable composite construction that’s long been trusted for storage in walk-in refrigerators and BOH areas. This new, smaller unit is ideal for underneath counters, small spaces and mobile use.

Restaurants like Five Guys and Del Taco have already begun implementing Cambro’s new Elements Series Undercounter Units in locations across the US.

“It makes more sense…the flexibility of it kind of makes it. We have a lot of different footprints, so just the ability to be able to configure to whatever to that particular situation is, makes it something that is to our advantage,” said David Coleman, Director of Operations Excellence and Support for Del Taco Restaurants, Inc.

Del Taco chose to put their Elements Series Undercounter Units underneath their front counters. The units fit perfectly underneath their cash registers and allow its restaurants to keep trays, condiments and various supplies off the ground, readily accessible and organized.
