Opening up a bakery or renovating your café, you need something that will grab people attention and turn them into your customers; you need to have that positive impact on your business. Before you start guessing, what am I missing in my cute little cafe?

Have you ever been to a bakery and saw those yummy cupcakes or delicious doughnuts in a glass display, calling you to eat them? That's what you are missing, perfect restaurant equipment i.e. cooking equipment, beverage equipment, food holding and warming equipment and especially, bakery display case. These cases are not just keeping bakery items fresh but also creating a tempting presentation to attract customers. Although all bakery display cases look similar from outside, they are built with function of presenting your customers with freshly baked goods, preserving their quality, taste, and keeping them away from bugs. As you know, exterminators are very expensive, and no baker can bake a fresh cake whenever a customer steps in the bakery.

So how to choose a bakery display case that keeps my business running? Let me clear that confusion for you.

Features You Should Consider Before Buying A Bakery Display Case:

Size of Bakery Display Case:

Your bakery is your business and the right size of  bakery display case matters. You do not want to buy a case that is too big that you have to display your food for so long that your yummy bakery goods lose its freshness and taste which will mean waste of food and money. Neither, you want to buy a case too small that it looks over cluttered. After all, it's a one-time investment, so make sure to see a specification sheet before you buy the display counter.

The Perfect Lighting:

All the bakery display cases are illuminated, but it is your job to see if the lighting in the display counter is sufficient, is it effective, is it light or dim? Lighting is essential in any business and especially the food business. People first eat with their eyes and your bakery display counter is your food studio. Ask yourself a question, does my bakery needs fluorescent lighting, LED lights, or simple lamplights? 

Shelving:

Shelves is also an essential factor to consider when buying a bakery display counter because the shelves have the magical ability to increase the storage space and make food more visible. The glass shelves will make your food looks like its floating by filtering the light through your food display counter, which will make food looks fabulous, which means more sales for you.

Style:

The bakery is not all about yummy doughnuts or delicious macarons, but appearance also matters. Think it as you have bought a black, rusty and small bakery display case which of course won't look good. There are thousands of styles available which are appealing and also budget-friendly. Style is a personal choice, choose which look pleasant to the eyes.

Bakery display comes in various shapes, sizes and every case have its own functions. Different types of cases include Countertop cases, Deli display cases, Sushi display cases, Sushi countertop bars etc. The bakery is not all about display cases and lights; everything counts like location, design, structure, chefs, restaurant equipment, etc. I am wrapping up the article with tips that will help your bakery, café, or food business stands out.
