Hot food delivery is changing. There has been a rapid rise in hot food deliveries from establishments that wouldn’t typically get involved in the ‘takeaway’ scene.
From local restaurants and cafes to high end, luxury bistros and even hotels, offering a takeaway menu has been an opportunity to drum up trade in the current challenging economic conditions.
This growing trend has resulted in the need to store hot food.
In order to maintain a kitchen-like-service, but from the pass to a consumer’s front door instead of a traditional in-house setting, there must be an effective storage solution to keep food hot and service fast.
While Williams Refrigeration is best known for its commercial fridges, freezers and coolers, turning the temperature up is also an area the brand has special expertise in too.
The Williams solution? The Mobile Heated Cabinet.
The Mobile Heated Cabinet, is designed to safely store and transport food away from the kitchen, as well as providing an ideal storage space when awaiting for delivery/pickup. It is available in two models, the 390 litre MHC10 and the 549 litre MHC16, both of which feature in-built, easy grab side handles for maneuverability and all round bumper bars for added protection during transit.
Not only does this mean the cabinet can be transported away from the kitchen if space is limited, but it also assists hygiene measures as it avoids person-to-person contact when transferring food ready for delivery. The MHCs provide ideal storage cabinets for hot-holding packaged food and delivery orders.
The Mobile Heated Cabinets utilise fast warm-up technology that brings them up to operating temperature safely, quickly and efficiently.
The shift in hot food delivery is most certainly moving up a gear. With takeaways remaining one of the most popular forms of dining in the UK, worth £8.5 billion in 2019, it is estimated that customers using online food delivery will reach 11 million by the end of 2020.
As more sites continue to embrace this new world of foodservice, the need for the right equipment is ever greater.
Williams are experts in refrigeration and also packs a punch when keeping food hot.
