Sandwich and Salad Prep Tables

Store ingredients, assemble, and serve signature salads and sandwiches with a commercial sandwich and salad prep table.

Commercial sandwich and salad prep tables hold pans of ingredients in a refrigerated rail. Pans are supported by adapter bars that can be adjusted for configuration options. Attached cutting boards provide space for assembly. A sliding top door protects food from physical contaminants in the kitchen. Commercial prep tables allow staff to store back up ingredients in either doors or drawer storage underneath the prep station. Burkett has refrigerated prep rails from top brands like True Refrigeration, Turbo-Air, and SEAGATE Products.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Sandwich and Salad Prep Tables

What's the difference between a sandwich prep table and a pizza prep table?

Sandwich prep tables and pizza prep tables look very similar, but have some notable differences. First, pizza prep tables have larger cutting boards to accommodate the size of a pizza. Sandwich prep tables most commonly have cutting boards that range from 8" to 10" in depth. A commercial sandwich and salad prep table will also feature a recess in the pan rail, instead of the raised rail design of pizza prep tables.

What size commercial sandwich and salad prep table do I need?

Consider first the space your commercial kitchen has available for an additional refrigeration unit. As with all commercial refrigeration, sandwich prep tables require space for ventilation and air flow to the compressor. Fortunately, many commercial sandwich and salad prep tables have front breathing refrigeration systems that allow them to be placed directly against a wall without restricting air flow. Another consideration is how many pans of ingredients your menu requires. Mega top designs allow for more pans to be stored in the refrigerated rail without adding width to the unit. Standard designs hold two horizontal rows of 1/6 size pans, while mega top sandwich prep tables can hold three horizontal rows.

What size pan fits in a commercial sandwich and salad prep table?

The most common size pan for a commercial sandwich and salad prep table will be a 1/6 size food pan. This is a standard size and pan capacities will be listed based on how many 1/6 size pans fit in the refrigerated rail. However, with the use of adapter bars, different sized pans can be held in a commercial sandwich prep table. Another common size used is 1/3 size food pans for larger holding capacity.

Will ingredients stay cold in the pans?

Sandwich and salad prep tables are designed to hold interior temperatures below 40°F as required for NSF certification for safe food storage. Air circulates around the top and bottom of pans to ensure ingredients do not exceed safe temperatures.

Are pans included?

This will vary for each brand, some are included, some are not. Refer to your sandwich prep table's spec sheet to determine if you will need to purchase food pans separately or not.

Other Refrigeration Options

If you are looking for something smaller, a countertop refrigerated prep rail is the perfect choice for your prep station. You can also find a variety of reach-in refrigeration, merchandiser refrigerators, worktop refrigerators, and undercounter refrigerators for your commercial kitchen.
