Cold toppers (including Unifrost CTS1200 and CTG1400) are countertop chilled topping shelves designed to hold GN pans of ready-to-use ingredients at the pass or prep station.
They are most commonly used for:
Pizza lines: sauces, cheese, cooked meats, veg toppings
Cafes and delis: salad components, sandwich fillings, garnishes
Service efficiency: keep “high-touch” ingredients chilled and visible so staff are not constantly opening an upright fridge
They are not a replacement for bulk refrigeration. Think of a cold topper as the front-of-house or line-facing ingredient bay, supported by an upright fridge for backup stock.
