Saladettes

Saladettes are compact refrigerated preparation counters designed to keep ingredients chilled and easily accessible during food preparation and service. Commonly used in cafés, sandwich shops, restaurants, delis, and commercial kitchens, saladettes feature a refrigerated topping well that accommodates gastronorm pans for salads, sandwich fillings, garnishes, and prepared ingredients. Their space-saving design makes them ideal for operations where kitchen space is limited but efficient ingredient access is essential. By combining refrigerated ingredient storage with a practical preparation area, saladettes help improve workflow, food safety, and service speed.

What to Consider When Sourcing Saladettes

When selecting a saladette, the most important considerations are refrigerated well capacity and available workspace. The number of gastronorm (GN) pans required will depend on your menu and ingredient range, while the overall footprint should fit comfortably within the preparation area. Saladettes are particularly popular in kitchens where space efficiency is a priority.

You should also consider undercounter storage, refrigeration performance, and ingredient protection. Many models include refrigerated storage below the work surface, providing additional capacity for ingredients and backup stock. Features such as hinged covers, protective guards, even cooling systems, and stainless steel construction help maintain food safety and improve operational efficiency.

SIS Refrigeration offers saladettes in a range of sizes and configurations with refrigerated topping wells, GN-compatible layouts, and optional undercounter storage for cafés, restaurants, delis, and foodservice operations.
