How to Increase Your Restaurant’s Storage Capacity up to 50%

Sometimes you need to think outside the cooler to realize what you’ve been missing. Many chefs look at how their storage space is organized and assume that’s the only way they can do it. More often than not, that’s not true—but they don’t know that. Camshelving® High Density Storage Systems have the power to transform your storage space into a mean, lean, efficient machine.

Whether your space is big or small, Camshelving High Density Storage Systems can increase your storage capacity by up to 50%

ChefsClouds is a menu solution provider located in China’s Shanghai and Shenzhen. Their goal is to create high-quality western food concepts that are shipped to restaurants, hotels, caterers and other venues for easy usage and operational control. They also consult on menus, training and layout design.

As the company continues to grow in size and demand, founder Chef Maik Juengst needed to increase the storage capacity in his cold storage room. While some people struggle with creating space where there is none, Chef Maik had a large amount of space but wasn’t using it effectively.

When chefs position storage racks against both walls in a large room, there is a surplus of unused space in the middle. Cambro’s High Density Storage System has the ability to use that space to its full potential.

Chef Maik chose Camshelving Elements XTRA Series High Density Storage System, which has a lifetime guarantee against corrosion and rust and is constructed with antimicrobial protection permanently molded into its shelf plates.

In Chef Maik’s space, traditional shelving units would have only fit 5 sets of shelves against the wall, but Cambro’s High Density Storage System has the capacity to fit 9 sets. That is an 80% increase!

Camshelving also has the incredible ability to become what an operator needs. Traditional shelving only allows for standard, vented shelf plates. Camshelving can be configured in a number of ways.

Because Chef Maik’s team organizes their ingredients in bins, it was most efficient to use divider bars and food boxes rather than traditional shelves. Now, ingredients are easier to find and reach. 

Cambro’s High Density Storage Systems are installed with a floor track that doesn’t require drilling, bolts or gluing. Made from smooth composite plastic, Elements XTRA Series resists peeling and scratching and is dishwasher safe.
