Price Match

The Olympia induction chafer is a stainless steel food-holding vessel for buffet and carvery service, in 1/1 GN and half GN sizes. It holds food at temperature using an induction heating plate positioned beneath the water pan, which gives more consistent heat control than gel fuel or spirit burners. It is built to handle repeated use across catered events, hotel buffets and function dining. Choose your size from the dropdown.

In busy service environments, maintaining safe and consistent food temperatures across a buffet run is a practical challenge. The induction-based heating method responds more predictably than chafing fuel, which can vary with ambient temperature, draughts and fuel quality. This helps operators keep food within a stable temperature range across a longer service period without constant adjustment.

  • Glass lid window allows guests to view food without lifting the lid, helping retain heat during service
  • Heat-insulating lid reduces temperature loss between the kitchen and the serving point
  • Water-return channel directs condensation back into the water pan rather than onto the food, reducing sogginess
  • Stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean and withstands regular commercial washing
  • 1/1 GN suits standard gastronorm food pans, while the half GN footprint suits tighter buffet layouts

The induction heating plate (sold separately) is required for operation. The chafer itself does not generate heat independently, so confirm you have a compatible plate before purchasing. The chafer suits function and event caterers, hotel food and beverage teams, and hospitality operators running regular buffet or carvery services. For very high-volume or continuous buffet services across multiple stations, it is worth discussing your full setup to make sure this format suits the scale of service.

If you are unsure which size fits your buffet configuration, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

Frequently asked questions

Does the induction heating plate come included with this chafer?

No — the induction heating plate is sold separately. The chafer itself is the display and retention unit; you will need a compatible induction plate to generate heat beneath the water pan. It is worth confirming compatibility before purchasing if you are sourcing the plate independently.

Is this chafer suitable for continuous all-day buffet service?

It is well suited to standard buffet and function service runs, typically up to a few hours. For very high-volume or continuous all-day operations across multiple stations, it is worth discussing your setup with us to confirm this format meets the demands of your service.

Can this unit be used with existing gastronorm pans?

Yes — the chafer is designed around the standard 1/1 GN format, so it will accept full gastronorm food pans that are already in use in most commercial kitchens. This makes it straightforward to integrate into an existing buffet setup without needing additional bespoke equipment.
