As culinary trends evolve and food enthusiasts’ preferences shift, your kitchen operations face the ongoing challenge of staying agile.
According to IMARC Group, Australia’s fast food and QSR sector is increasingly adapting its menus toward health-conscious, globally inspired, and customisable offerings – like plant-based, gluten-free, and fusion dishes – reflecting consumer demand for diversity, personalisation, and operational flexibility.
One way your QSR can adapt is with True’s flexible Gastronorm pan configurations. From maximising space to streamlining kitchen workflows, the ability to tailor pans to specific operational needs can significantly enhance your efficiency, productivity and menu diversity.
Traditional kitchen setups often struggle to accommodate changing menu items, prep requirements, and spatial constraints. Flexible equipment and layouts allow your team to adapt quickly, no matter how frequently your menu evolves.
At True Refrigeration, our customisable TSSU Gastronorm pan configurations provide a practical solution. With the ability to mix pan sizes within the space, they provide the flexibility needed to match your dishes.
Whether you’re serving pizzas, poke or salad bowls, burgers, or other popular Australian fast-casual offerings, these pans help your kitchen stay agile and ready for whatever your customers crave.
We offer several pan configuration options that help your kitchen improve functionality and convenience. Our models accommodate various pan configurations, including 1/6, 1/3, and 1/1.
Each TSSU comes with a set number of 1/6 polycarbonate pans, depending on the model. When removed, the empty space allows for complete customisation. For example: 
A 1/3 pan fits the space of two 1/6 pans, and a 1/1 pan fits three 1/3 pans. This flexibility lets you replace smaller pans with larger ones for high-use ingredients.
In a pizzeria, for instance, you might use a 1/1 pan for cheese, 1/3 pans for popular toppings, and 1/6 pans for less common items. Whereas, in a poke bowl operation, larger pans can hold base ingredients like rice, while smaller pans store toppings like edamame, avocado, or sauces.
Depending on the combination layouts, additional divider bars may be needed. These can run vertically or horizontally across the area of your TSSU.
Be aware that not every combination of pan sizes is always possible to accommodate, but we can assist with developing a pan arrangement that works for you and your specific requirements.
For more details, we’ve created a complete Gastronorm refrigeration guide, showing the sizes and compatibility with our products.
True’s TSSUs offer the widest range of model sizes and build options, including door/drawer configurations, lid types, and pan numbers, allowing you to benefit from:
Gastronorm pans are designed with hygiene and convenience in mind. They are easy to remove, clean, and sanitise, helping you maintain a sanitary kitchen environment and comply effortlessly with food safety regulations.
If your kitchen needs to react quickly to busy periods or changing menus, you can configure the pan area with various layouts to suit your immediate needs. Additionally, you can store more prepped ingredients in the space below, ensuring you’re always ready for peak times or menu changes. This will help improve speed and accuracy by allowing your team to access ingredients quickly and consistently, reducing errors during prep and service.
Customisable pan layouts make it easier to organise ingredients logically, reducing unnecessary movement and improving overall kitchen efficiency.
The ability to mix and match pan sizes allows your team to offer a wider variety of dishes without needing additional equipment, supporting seasonal menus, daily specials, or limited-time offerings.
True’s TSSUs keep ingredients at consistent temperatures across all pans, helping preserve freshness, flavour, and safety. Combined with appropriately sized and organised pans, this ensures consistent portioning and presentation, so every dish meets your high standards.

True’s TSSUs are designed to accommodate different operations. While many customers prefer to maximise the number of pans, it’s entirely possible to have a longer cabinet with fewer pans, allowing for more space for other equipment like a double grill, food processor, or even plates.
The top pan area comes with either a Hood or Flat Removable Lid (FLID), but we also offer a glass lid option for certain sizes. This configuration option is popular as it offers maximum product visibility and allows customers to stand on the opposite side of the cabinet and select their preferred toppings or ingredients from the pans.
Additionally, on select sizes we can provide a unique ‘Dual-sided’ option. These units feature cutting boards on both the front and back, effectively doubling your prep space and enhancing efficiency during peak times. These are particularly useful in busy salad bars or sandwich shops, where two prep lines can operate simultaneously without cross-traffic.
On certain models, to help you facilitate instant access to prepped and refrigerated toppings, you can even choose doors, drawers or a combination to suit your kitchen.

Our TSSUs helped Hawaiian Poke Bowl efficiently serve their mouth-watering fresh and healthy dishes. With at least 4,000 poke bowls sold every day across their stores, they needed to be able to prep and store ingredients ahead of busy periods.
The customisable pan space provided by our TSSUs meant that they could structure the layout of ingredients exactly how they wanted, so they can now store all seven house favourite dishes more conveniently, helping to improve their performance.
