Precision is key to deli service. The Infernus Meat Slicer (250mm Blade) delivers even, consistent slices for meats and cheeses. It’s compact, powerful, and ideal for maintaining speed and quality during peak service.

Keep Ingredients Fresh and Accessible

Efficient refrigeration protects freshness and speeds up prep. The Sterling Pro SPR200S is a 140L stainless steel undercounter fridge—perfect for chilled essentials like sliced meats, sauces, and dairy.

For larger stock, the GRADED Sterling Pro SPR400S offers a spacious 360L upright solution with excellent value thanks to its graded status.

Want to attract more impulse buys? The Blizzard CD400R round glass cake display keeps pastries, bakes, and ready-to-go items visible, cool, and appealing.

Double up on function with the GRADED Blizzard BSP2 Double Door Saladette, combining chilled storage and a prep-ready top—perfect for sandwich fillings, salad boxes, and wraps.

Create a Smooth Prep Flow

Reliable prep tables support your service rhythm. The Infernus Machine Tables (1200mm or 1500mm) offer durable stainless steel surfaces ideal for high-pressure environments. Easy to clean, strong, and practical.

Toast It, Grill It, Serve It Hot

Hot sandwiches and breakfast options demand dependable cooking kit. The Parry PGF600G LPG 2-Burner Gas Griddle delivers even heat for everything from bacon to toasted ciabattas.

Add the Lincat LPG2 Twin Panini Grill to press two paninis at once—perfect for fast-moving lunch services.
