How do I choose between a commercial fridge and a freezer for my kitchen?

Decide based on how you buy, prep, and replenish stock:

Choose a commercial fridge first if you’re turning over fresh ingredients daily (meat, dairy, veg, garnishes) and need fast access during service. Unifrost upright fridges such as the R1000SV / R1300SVN ranges are aimed at economical, safe bulk chilled storage for busy kitchens.

Choose a commercial freezer first if you rely on batch cooking, frozen staples, or you want a buffer against supplier lead times. Matching Unifrost uprights like F1000SV / F1300SVN give you similar “bulk storage” workflow but for frozen stock.

A practical way to decide is to list your top 20 ingredients by value and volume and mark each as must-be-chilled vs can-be-frozen. The side with the bigger footprint and higher replenishment pressure should get priority capacity.
