Benchtop Salad Bars – Compact Cold Bars for Sandwich & Salad Prep
Benchtop salad bars, also called cold bars, are compact refrigerated units designed to sit directly on counters or prep fridges. They keep fresh ingredients like lettuce, tomato, cheese, meats and dressings chilled and within arm’s reach — perfect for fast-paced pizza, sandwich, poke and salad shops.
Available in glass-covered or stainless-lidded designs, our benchtop bars fit standard GN pans and provide consistent cold holding without requiring extra floor space. Ideal for operators who want to add prep functionality without installing a full underbench fridge.
