Display & Merchandising Equipment
Questions Café & Deli Owners Ask About Hot- and Cold-Food Displays
Which brands do you stock for display and merchandising gear?
We carry trusted commercial-grade brands like Bonvue, Woodson, Sayl, Roband, Bromic, Thermaster, Benchstar, Birko, Anvil, Apuro, and Bezzera. Each is selected for reliability, temperature precision, and visual appeal in hospitality environments.
What makes Bonvue display cabinets so popular?
Bonvue units are a top choice for bakeries, cafés, and patisseries. They feature crystal-clear curved glass, energy-efficient LED lighting, and easy rear access for staff. Their reputation for reliable temperature control and sleek design makes them a category favourite.
What’s the difference between a bain marie and a full hot food display cabinet?
A bain marie (think Woodson or Roband drop-in pans) keeps food hot in water-bath mode—great for sauces, curries, and carvery items. A hot food display cabinet—such as the glass-front units from Thermaster or Anvil—adds lighting, front service access, and rear sliding doors, so you can merchandise and serve without losing heat. Both meet commercial food-safety temps; your choice depends on whether you need self-service presentation or simple back-of-house holding.
How do I choose between all these brands?
Focus on your menu and display goals. For visual merchandising (cakes, drinks, salads), go for Bonvue, Sayl, or Thermaster. For hot foods, consider Woodson, Roband, or Benchstar. If you’re unsure, our team can recommend the best match—call (07) 5597 5599.
Can I view these units in person?
Yes. Visit our showroom at 2/6 Resources Court, Molendinar QLD to inspect units from brands like Bonvue, Bromic, and Thermaster. It’s a great way to assess build quality, glass clarity, and layout fit before purchase.
Which benchtop bain marie suits a small café?
If counter space is tight, look at the two-pan models from Benchstar or Birko. These plug into a standard 10-amp socket and come with GN-size bain marie trays and lids—ideal for side dishes, gravy, or a lunch special without committing to a full hot line.
