Capacity depends on how you shelf and load the unit, and what you’re storing.

R200SN / R200SVN (solid-door undercounter fridges): best thought of as ingredient and service-stock storage for a bar or cocktail station. You’ll typically load these with mixers, juices, garnishes, dairy, pre-batched cocktails, and opened stock in GN pans or crates, rather than trying to “count bottles”. For planning, sketch your service list and allocate shelves to the containers you actually use (GN, crates, 700 ml, 1 L, PET mixers).

BC20 (double-door bottle cooler): designed for upright bottle/can display behind the bar. Real-world bottle counts vary with bottle shape, whether you double-stack, and whether you dedicate shelves to cans or premium glass. If bottle count is critical, build your plan around your top sellers (for example, standard longneck vs stubby vs 500 ml) and request the model’s shelving layout so you can map facings per shelf.

If you need an exact count for your SKU list, the quickest route is to list your core bottle formats and we can help you translate that into a shelf-by-shelf loading plan rather than relying on a single headline number.
