It combines an under-counter refrigerated storage cabinet with a chilled top section that holds gastronorm pans, keeping fresh ingredients at safe working temperatures and within easy reach throughout service. This style of unit — commonly referred to as a saladette or prep station — is a practical fixture in pizza operations, sandwich bars, salad stations, and anywhere that requires rapid assembly of dishes from multiple fresh components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a busy service environment, the value of a well-positioned prep station comes down to how consistently it keeps ingredients at temperature when lids are open repeatedly and the kitchen is at full pace. The Foster FPS 2 HR is built with this in mind. The revised airflow design in this model maintains a stable chill across the pan section even during active prep, reducing the risk of temperature drift that can cause compliance issues during service. The rear-mounted refrigeration unit keeps the interior unobstructed and also makes the unit more straightforward to access when routine servicing is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom an operational standpoint, this unit addresses several practical concerns at once:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChilled pan section and worktop kept at a comfortable working height, reducing fatigue and improving ergonomics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner catch-tray beneath the pan section prevents food debris falling into the storage compartment below\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel construction throughout, supporting thorough cleaning and meeting commercial hygiene standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear-mounted refrigeration unit leaves storage space unobstructed and simplifies engineer access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for pizza prep, saladette service, sandwich assembly, starters, and dessert stations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward for most commercial kitchen environments. The unit requires a standard electrical connection and adequate clearance at the rear for ventilation around the refrigeration system — this should be confirmed before positioning the unit against a wall or within a run of equipment. As with all refrigerated prep counters, placement away from direct heat sources such as grills or ovens will help maintain efficiency and reduce compressor workload. The unit is freestanding and designed to sit within a counter run or operate independently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FPS 2 HR is well suited to small to medium operations — cafés, pizzerias, delis, pub kitchens, and smaller restaurant prep lines — where a reliable, practical prep station is needed without overspecifying for the volume of covers being served. For higher-volume sites running extended service periods with multiple cooks working the same station, a larger or more heavily specified model may be worth considering. Equally, for very low-volume or occasional-use settings, a smaller single-door unit may be more appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're weighing up whether this unit fits your kitchen layout and service style, our team is happy to talk it through before you place an order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36575640272,"sku":"15-151","price":5052.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/files\/fps2hr.png?v=1711619898"},{"product_id":"foster-fps-3-hr-420-ltr-prep-station","title":"Foster FPS 3 HR 420 Ltr Prep Station Refrigerated Counter","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Foster FPS 3 HR is a refrigerated preparation counter designed to keep prepped ingredients at safe temperatures directly at the point of use. It combines a chilled pan rail section — accommodating nine 1\/3 GN pans — with a refrigerated storage cabinet below, giving kitchen teams both immediate access to service ingredients and bulk cold storage within a single unit. It is a format commonly used in pizza operations, sandwich bars, salad-focused menus, and starter or dessert preparation, where speed of access during service matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a working kitchen, the practical value of a prep station lies in how reliably it holds temperature when the pan rail lid is being opened repeatedly during a busy service. Foster's rear-mounted refrigeration and revised airflow design are intended to maintain consistent pan temperatures even under that kind of frequent use. The below-counter storage keeps additional prepped stock close to hand without leaving the station, which supports workflow during high-volume periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom an operational standpoint, the unit offers a number of practical advantages:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePan rail and worktop at a comfortable working height, reducing reach and supporting safe food handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner catch tray beneath the pan section prevents food debris from contaminating the storage area below\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear-mounted refrigeration unit keeps the storage interior clear and makes servicing more straightforward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel construction throughout supports hygiene standards and withstands daily kitchen cleaning routines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-door cabinet beneath provides organised cold storage directly below the prep area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward for most commercial kitchens — the unit requires a standard electrical connection and adequate ventilation clearance at the rear for the refrigeration system to operate efficiently. As with any refrigerated prep counter, it should be positioned away from direct heat sources such as grills or ovens, as ambient heat will affect refrigeration performance and running costs.

For kitchens running multiple prep sections simultaneously, or where the volume of ingredients turned over during service is particularly high, a larger capacity or higher-output model may be worth considering. Similarly, if your operation only requires a smaller pan count, there are more compact options available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure whether this unit matches your service volumes or kitchen layout, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36575641616,"sku":"15-153","price":6555.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/files\/fps3hr.png?v=1711619956"},{"product_id":"foster-fps-4-hr-570-ltr-prep-station","title":"Foster FPS 4 HR 570 Ltr Refrigerated Prep Station","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Foster FPS 4 HR is a refrigerated preparation counter designed to keep chilled ingredients accessible and food-safe at the point of preparation. The unit combines a worktop pan section — accommodating up to 12 one-third GN pans — with a refrigerated storage cabinet beneath, making it a practical choice for stations where speed and ingredient organisation matter. It is commonly used in pizza kitchens, salad and deli counters, sandwich bars, and any prep environment where multiple ingredients need to be held at safe temperatures and within easy reach of the chef.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a working kitchen environment, the real value of this type of unit is in how it compresses the prep workflow. Ingredients are held at the top, storage is directly below, and the chef does not need to move between separate prep surfaces and cold storage. An inner catch-tray in the pan section prevents food debris from dropping into the cabinet below, which matters both for hygiene and for reducing clean-down time at the end of service. The rear-mounted refrigeration system leaves the interior storage area unobstructed and also makes the unit more straightforward to service without significant disruption to the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom an operational standpoint, the key practical benefits are:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeeps 12 GN pans of ingredients chilled and within arm's reach during service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorktop and pan section positioned to reduce repetitive reaching and improve workflow ergonomics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatch-tray design limits cross-contamination between pan section and storage area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear-mounted refrigeration unit allows full use of internal cabinet space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e304-grade stainless steel exterior handles the demands of daily commercial kitchen use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward relative to many refrigerated units — the FPS 4 HR requires a standard electrical connection and adequate clearance at the rear for ventilation.
