Delivery Information
Price Match
The Buffalo 160-litre square countertop heated display merchandiser is a glass-fronted hot-holding unit designed to keep pre-cooked food at serving temperature while keeping it visible to customers. It is a common fixture in cafés, delis, bakeries, forecourt food-to-go counters, and staff canteens — anywhere that relies on impulse purchase of hot snacks during a service period.
In everyday use, the unit holds a solid volume of product across three adjustable metal shelves, making it practical for operations turning over a steady flow of sausage rolls, pies, pasties, pizza slices, or similar grab-and-go items. The adjustable temperature control allows staff to dial in the correct holding temperature for different product types, and a removable water pan at the base adds humidity when needed — particularly useful when holding pastry products that would otherwise dry out and become unsaleable before the end of a service period.
From an operational standpoint, the rear sliding doors make restocking and cleaning straightforward without disrupting the front-of-house presentation. Key day-to-day advantages include:
- Clear glass panels on multiple sides maintain full product visibility from the customer side
- Adjustable shelf positions allow the unit to accommodate products of varying heights
- Removable water pan simplifies cleaning and humidity management
- Rear access doors suit both assisted-service and self-service counter layouts
- Stainless steel and glass construction is practical to clean and holds up to daily commercial use
Installation is straightforward — the unit is mains-powered and countertop-mounted, so there are no gas, water, or extraction connections required. It does need a stable, heat-resistant surface capable of supporting its loaded weight, and adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation and rear access. At just under 860mm wide, it occupies a meaningful section of counter space, so it is worth measuring your service counter carefully before ordering. It is not suitable for use as a cooking appliance — it is a holding and display unit only.
This model is well suited to small to medium-volume food-to-go operations where product turnover is steady rather than very high. It works well as a standalone display unit or alongside a bain marie or hot cupboard in a more complex counter setup. For sites with significantly higher throughput or where the unit would need to run continuously across long service shifts, a larger or higher-output model may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your counter layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit to an order.
Frequently asked questions
Is this unit suitable for a busy food-to-go operation running long service shifts?
It performs reliably for small to medium-volume operations with steady product turnover throughout the day. If your site runs very high volumes continuously across extended shifts, or if you need to hold a broader range of product simultaneously, it may be worth considering a larger-capacity unit to avoid running the merchandiser at its limits during peak periods.
What electrical supply does this merchandiser require?
The unit is mains-powered at standard UK voltage and draws 1.5kW, so it can typically connect to a standard 13-amp socket without any specialist electrical work. It is advisable to confirm with your electrician that the circuit supplying your counter area is suitable, particularly if other heated equipment is already drawing from the same ring.
Can the shelves be adjusted to fit different product types?
Yes — the three metal shelves are adjustable in height, which gives you flexibility to configure the interior around the products you are holding, whether that is tall pizza slices, deep pie tins, or standard bakery trays. The water pan at the base can be removed when humidity is not needed and is straightforward to clean at the end of service.
