In a restaurant, workers carry pots and pans, occasionally banging them against the cupboards and refrigerators. Cooks are often in a hurry. They tend to take out as much from the refrigerator as they can, in one go. They may not have free hands to close the door. This working style requires refrigeration units that are energy efficient, rich with handy features. Select models with rugged exteriors.
