Tefcold TAVIRA II 100 Slimline Serve Over Counter

The Tefcold Tavira II 100 is a slimline serve over counter designed for food service environments where counter space is limited but product presentation still needs to do a job. It combines a refrigerated display section with under-counter storage in a compact footprint, making it a practical option for cafés, delis, sandwich bars, and food-to-go operations that need a presentable chilled display without committing to a full deli counter run.

The unit uses static automatic cooling rather than fan-assisted refrigeration, which means there is no constant airflow moving across the display. This suits operators presenting unwrapped products — cold meats, prepared salads, filled rolls, or pastries — where fan cooling can dry out product surfaces or disturb lightweight packaging during service. Temperature consistency is maintained without that trade-off, though it is worth noting that static cooling systems recover more slowly after the display has been opened repeatedly during a busy service. For outlets with high customer throughput and frequent access, a fan-cooled equivalent may hold temperature more reliably under pressure.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the Tavira II 100 includes several features that contribute to a smoother service:

• Acrylic sliding rear doors allow quick staff access while keeping the display enclosed between serves
• Interior lighting with a dedicated switch improves product visibility without adding meaningful heat load to the cabinet
• Stainless steel rear shelf and deck surfaces support hygiene standards and make end-of-day cleaning straightforward
• An ambient shelf above the display provides space for packaging, menus, or ambient merchandise
• A rear-mounted 13-amp socket allows a till or set of scales to be positioned at the counter without additional cabling runs

Being a 13-amp plug-in unit, installation is as straightforward as it gets — no dedicated electrical supply, no specialist commissioning, and no additional infrastructure. The slimline profile is well suited to front-of-house positions where every centimetre of counter space counts, though it is worth measuring your available footprint carefully before ordering, particularly if the unit is going into a fixed counter run or a tight service area.

This model is best suited to smaller independent operations — cafés, delis, farm shops, and food-to-go outlets — where a compact, reliable serve over counter is required without the scale of a larger installation. For higher-volume sites, longer service periods, or operators who need a larger display run, a higher-capacity model would be worth exploring.

If you are weighing up whether static or fan-assisted cooling is the right choice for your service style, or simply want to check the dimensions work for your counter layout, the team are glad to help you work through it before you order.
