Ordering takeaway food to your door has never been easier with the rise of food delivery services – all you need to do is open an app, select what you want and get it delivered to your door! Takeaway chains often also have a front of house for people to order and collect their food – but there is a new breed of food delivery restaurant. Dark kitchens.
Dark kitchens cook and prepare food for collection and delivery, but don’t have a front of house or ordering / collection counter. This means that businesses can create food for delivery without having an actual restaurant or takeaway store.
But just like standard takeaways, dark kitchens need an optimal form of cold storage to ensure they are offering the highest quality food products to their customers. MTCSS Contracts can offer design and installation for cold room food storage for dark kitchens across the UK.
Why Does Your Dark Kitchen Need a Cold Room?
Kitchens and restaurants often only utilise upright chillers and freezers, which may be optimal when minimal refrigerated space is required. But where multiple fridges and freezers are in use, and more temperature controlled space is needed, a cold room may be the optimal solution for you.
MTCSS Contracts design and build bespoke cold rooms which are perfect for food applications, are ideal for dark kitchens and takeaway kitchens for various reasons, including:
- chiller and freezer cold rooms utilise your space more effectively than using multiple upright or chest fridges and freezers
- custom cold rooms are also often more energy efficient than using multiple fridges and freezer
- organise your food and drink products more effectively with more space and using cold room shelving
- food safe and easy to clean insulated cold room panels
- bespoke cold rooms designed to your size and shape requirements, to suit the space you have available
- internal and external cold rooms to maximise your space
- full turnkey solutions for custom cold rooms, including everything from cold room doors and cold room flooring, to insulated doors and refrigeration systems
- various temperature ranges available for walk in chillers, walk in freezers and ambient temperature controlled areas
Bespoke cold rooms designed by MTCSS Contracts will improve your daily processes and the functioning of your dark kitchen and food business. We work with you to understand how a temperature controlled room will fit into your business, to understand your budget and your individual requirements.
