If you're opening a restaurant, you'll need to invest in a cooler or freezer to keep meat or produce. Of the two basic choices, reach-ins are smaller, but less expensive upfront. Walk-in coolers and freezers, on the other hand, offer the following advantages in exchange for a slightly higher cost.

Why Restaurants Should Invest in Walk-in Coolers & Freezers

1. Easy Organization

Walk-in coolers and freezers have significantly more space than reach-ins. Furthermore, with shelves lining the walls, rather than spanning the entire length, you are able to keep everything in a specific area where it’s easily accessible, rather than having to remove items to reach others.

2. Bulk Storage Capabilities

The additional space also allows you to purchase refrigerated and frozen food items in bulk. Many vendors offer discounts to restaurants that place bulk orders and it can also cut down on the number of deliveries you need to receive, which saves you on shipping and labor costs.

3. Customization Options

4. Energy Savings

It might seem like a larger cooler or freezer would require more electricity, but they’re relatively comparable to reach-ins. When you factor in the extra storage they provide, it becomes more cost effective to choose a single walk-in unit instead of several smaller ones.
