Welcome to the Pace Reps Foodservice Equipment Blog

There’s no room for guesswork when it comes to walk-in storage. Whether you're overseeing a school cafeteria, hospital kitchen, or upscale restaurant, how your walk-in is arranged directly affects team speed, food safety, and product loss. With the proper layout and shelving system, your walk-in can boost compliance, save money, and make life easier for your staff.

School cafeterias cannot operate without the hardworking staff who prepare meals for students several times a day. With continued labor issues not dissipating, districts struggle to find enough staff to run their school nutrition programs. Having the right foodservice equipment can help with the labor shortage and help assist with completing tasks.

Food safety codes require that foodservice businesses use commercial-grade shelving manufactured with materials to stop food absorption and food-borne bacterial growth. Long gone are the days of using wooden shelving for food storage in restaurants and commercial kitchens (and that’s a GOOD thing!).

Modular shelving can be some of the most useful equipment in your commercial kitchen. As anyone who has worked in the back-of-the-house knows, organization is critical to success, and shelving can contribute more than just about anything, especially when it can be arranged to fit the layout of your walk-in or dry storage space.
