Ambient Food Displays

We know that the food industry's storage and display requirements are diverse, which is why we stock a wide range of displays in various sizes and formats. At REO, you’ll find everything you need in a spectrum of sizes and shapes to match your needs. We stock compact countertop models to keep by the till for last-minute purchases, along with large, spacious free-standing options. Freestanding units can make up a display line alongside your heated and cold units, or you can go as simple as a countertop perspex box. The materials depend on the unit - some are glass and others are perspex.

Many will feature adjustable shelves, allowing you to customise and change the way you display your food throughout the seasons. You can also find options with sliding doors, making it easy for staff to serve and package food or for customers to serve themselves.

They’re made from resilient materials, ensuring your food is displayed in the most attractive way possible in Ambient Food Displays that will last for years to come.

Yes, absolutely. If you’re displaying things like pastries, sandwiches or other baked goods that need to be kept at room temperature, Ambient Food Displays are perfect.

If you’re looking for something to hold things like pies hot, you may also want to consider having a hot food display alongside your ambient display. Equally, for bakeries serving cakes that need to be chilled or held at a certain humidity, you may also want to consider cake display fridges. This allows you to expand your menu offerings while also ensuring your food is held at the optimal temperature for safety and quality.

The key benefit of Ambient Food Displays is that they protect your stock from any potential contamination. Whether it’s customers touching or breathing on stock, they create a barrier that ensures your food quality, health and safety, while allowing you to display your items attractively for purchase.

Yes, our wide range of ambient food displays includes plenty of options for cafes and bakeries with limited space. Multi-shelf options that fit conveniently on your countertop maximise your storage. Or choose a narrower, triple-shelved option that leaves more counter space free while still giving you plenty of room to display baked goods and lunch options.

When you’re setting up your establishment, you want high-quality kitchen equipment built with resilient materials. Our ambient display cabinets are designed for frequent use, with options for both self-serve and staff-serve. The framing is stainless steel, and the glass is tempered or toughened to withstand regular opening and closing. The material does depend on the unit though - some are glass, while the simplest countertop boxes are perspex.

Yes, in contrast with options like countertop display fridges, Ambient Food Displays don’t require power to run. They display and protect food, while fridges and heated cabinets ensure the optimal temperature is maintained before purchase.

While some menu items will require more precise temperatures or humidity levels, there are plenty of options that don’t, which is where the benefits of energy-saving Ambient Food Displays come in handy.

At REO, we can deliver anywhere in the country, no matter which part of Australia you’re in. For specific timelines regarding when you can expect your ambient display to arrive, our delivery information should answer your questions.

If the display you’re looking for is currently unavailable but will be restocked, you can request a callback from our support team who will be more than happy to help. We’ll either recommend an alternative that’s in the same price range as the one you were originally looking to purchase or we can let you know when the model you want will be available.

Maintaining Ambient Food Displays and cleaning them is simple. At the end of each shift, you’ll want to remove any remaining stock and either store it or dispose of it accordingly. Next, you should wipe down the shelves to remove any crumbs or residue, followed by a sanitising spray. Wipe down again with a clean, damp cloth to ensure you’ve removed any soapy residue and either dry them manually or let them air dry. To keep your glass looking its best, spray it at the end of each shift with a glass cleaner to remove any residue or fingerprints from the day.

Depending on the model you order, many of our ambient food displays will come pre-assembled, meaning they’re ready to install straight out of the box. All you’ll need to do is clean them before their first use, and they’ll be ready to go.

Typically, the models that do require assembly are the smaller, countertop Ambient Food Displays. They’re only comprised of a few pieces and can easily be put together at your cafe, deli, or bakery.

At REO, we pride ourselves on bringing together the best brands in the industry. We offer top-quality products that can be sent anywhere in the country and are designed for the heavy-duty use that everyday commercial businesses demand. With a range of functional and stylish displays, it’s simple to showcase your food in an attractive way while ensuring the quality isn’t compromised.
