In quick-service restaurants (QSRs) and small commercial kitchens, every bit of floor space counts. But how can you maintain storage, prep areas and service speed at the same time?
The answer lies in your commercial refrigeration.
With configurable solutions, you can transform tight kitchens into streamlined, efficient spaces that support fast service and staff productivity. Below, we’ve included six smart ways you can do this with True Refrigeration.
Counter and undercounter units free up valuable space, giving staff room for food prep, plating or service, while keeping ingredients close at hand.
With refrigeration right at the point of use, teams can move efficiently and maintain speed without compromising on storage capacity.
True’s precise temperature control and durable build quality mean operators can hold more stock with confidence, ensuring freshness and speed go hand in hand.
Prep tables, with their pans and integrated cutting boards, are a flexible solution for QSRs and small kitchen spaces. They speed up assembly, whether you’re preparing sandwiches, pizzas or poke bowls.
Combined with counters positioned at the point of use, this creates an ergonomic flow that reduces wasted steps, cuts strain and speeds up service.
In narrow kitchens, swinging doors can block walkways or force staff to step aside mid-preparation or cooking.
Refrigerated drawers slide out smoothly, such as on our TCRBs, giving direct access to ingredients without disrupting the workflow. They’re ideal for high-traffic lines where space is limited.
At True Refrigeration, our TCR/Fs have a total of 552 different model permutations to choose from, so you can customise to fit your operation and application.
Beyond saving space, multi-functional units let kitchens do more with fewer pieces of equipment. Prep tables that double as workstations and storage, or undercounters that fit seamlessly beneath cooking lines, adapt to new workflows.
This versatility means you can scale operations or modify prep stations without adding extra units or floor space, keeping the kitchen efficient and flexible as your business grows.
In small spaces, there’s rarely extra capacity to cope with downtime. That’s why easy-to-maintain refrigeration is essential.
Our units come with a 5-Year Parts & Labour Warranty, and are designed with removable gaskets and easy-access condensers. This makes day-to-day cleaning and servicing faster and simpler, keeping equipment hygienic and reliable while minimising disruption.
With changing weather and seasonal menus becoming a key trend in the restaurant industry, QSRs need refrigeration that adapts as quickly as their menus do.
True’s T-Series Flex Temp unit provides the versatility to handle these shifts with ease. With the ability to switch between refrigerator and freezer modes at the flick of a switch, operators can optimise their kitchens for every season without adding extra equipment.
Every kitchen is different, but at True Refrigeration, we work with many restaurants and QSRs to help them maximise their kitchens.
For example, Oats Day Long needed a solution that kept ingredients fresh and improved efficiency. With customers ordering both in-store and online, the team required solutions that would streamline preparation without compromising on taste or quality.
To help prep and store ingredients efficiently, we recommended our TSSU prep table and TUC undercounter, giving them extra prep and storage capacity.
Whether you’re running a compact QSR or a small kitchen, freeing up space and keeping ingredients fresh is a necessity.
At True Refrigeration, we work with operators across Australia to deliver configurable, flexible solutions designed for real-world kitchens like yours.
