Start with the available footprint and the service workflow.
Measure the bay properly: width, depth, and height under the counter, then allow a little extra for door swing, airflow around the unit, and adjustable feet on uneven floors.
Map where it will be used: place the fridge closest to the section that needs it (pass, prep, bar, deli) to reduce walking and door-open time.
Match capacity to peak service: aim for enough chilled storage to cover your busiest shift without over-stocking. A good check is whether today’s most-used items (dairy, prepped veg, sauces, proteins) can be stored without blocking vents or overpacking shelves.
