Find the Right Commercial Refrigeration for Your Business
Choosing the right commercial refrigeration equipment is a decision that directly impacts a business's efficiency and overall product quality. With numerous unique features and functions that each refrigeration unit offers, the best place to start is by deciding what kind of restaurant refrigerator your kitchen needs. Reach-in refrigerators and freezers are ideal for easy access to frequently used items, while merchandising refrigeration is perfect for showcasing products to customers (and may not be as efficient for use in a kitchen).
Walk-in coolers and freezers provide more storage space for larger quantities, and prep tables with refrigeration are excellent for food preparation and streamlining those processes. In some cases, more than one type of refrigeration is needed—for example, a reach-in refrigeration unit along with a refrigerated food prep table may be necessary in some kitchens. Explore different types, brands, models, and features in our collection of top-selling commercial kitchen refrigeration to find the right fit for your kitchen.
Commercial Refrigeration FAQ
Commercial kitchens rely on several distinct refrigeration system types. Different types of commercial refrigeration systems include:
- Reach-in Refrigerators and Freezers: Central Restaurant Products offers reach-in refrigerators and freezers that can handle the daily grind of a busy kitchen. That’s exactly what our reach-in units deliver—temperature control that keeps your food safe, no matter how crazy things get. A single-door model might be your best bet if you’re running low on space. Got room to spread out and need more storage capacity? Multi-door units provide plenty of organization options. Give us a call if you’re unsure about what will work for your kitchen—we love helping folks figure out exactly what’ll work best for their setup.
- Walk-in Coolers and Freezers: We specialize in walk-in refrigeration systems engineered for high-volume food service operations. We offer coolers and freezers in a range of sizes with flexible panel layouts so you can create the setup that works for your space. These systems give you the temperature control you need to handle bulk storage with confidence. Talk with our installation team about your space and cooling needs, and we’ll help you plan it out.
- Undercounter Refrigerators and Freezers: We supply space-efficient undercounter refrigeration units designed for compact commercial kitchen layouts. Our undercounter refrigerators and freezers maximize valuable floor space while providing convenient access to ingredients and supplies at prep stations.

- Prep Tables with Refrigeration: Our refrigerated prep tables include integrated cooling storage and a sturdy work surface. During preparation, items stay fresh and at the exact spot where you need them. Choose from a variety of pan combinations and lengths to accommodate your team’s operations.
- Beverage Coolers: Keep drinks close at hand by using our commercial beverage coolers. Back-bar refrigerators, undercounter refrigerators, and glass-door merchandisers are among the options we offer to fit your space and boost sales. Each cooler is built to last and keeps bottles and cans at the perfect serving temperature.
- Merchandising Refrigeration: Showcase your chilled goods with our merchandising refrigerators. Glass doors and bright LED lighting make it easy for customers to see what’s inside, and adjustable shelves allow you to change up your display as needed. Available in both vertical and horizontal models to match the design of your store or café.
When selecting your next commercial refrigeration system, you’ll want to:

Commercial refrigerators handle much heavier workloads than regular home units. Commercial refrigerators often offer a larger amount of storage space, better temperature control (even with doors opening and closing frequently), and are extra durable to withstand frequent use.
Commercial-grade refrigerators feature three critical upgrades over standard models. They pack serious storage capacity for high-volume operations, use heavy-duty stainless steel that won't dent or rust under constant use, and handle the punishment of busy kitchens where staff are constantly opening doors and loading product.
The best commercial refrigerator depends entirely on your specific business requirements. Check out our buying guides to find the right refrigerator for your specific needs:
Commercial refrigeration equipment typically lasts 10-15 years with proper care. Regular cleaning and staying on top of repairs make all the difference.
Reach-in and walk-in refrigeration units differ primarily in size, capacity, and access method.
- A reach-in unit is more suitable for a smaller space and offers a reach-in-only design, can range from as low as 20 cu. Ft. to as high as 69 cu. Ft.
- A walk-in unit is much larger and better for high-capacity kitchens and offers a design where you can walk into the unit to grab the items you need, having an average size of 8 ft. x 8 ft.
Commercial refrigerator prices range from $1,500 to $10,000, depending on size and features. The average cost of a commercial refrigerator varies widely, depending on the brand and functions of the refrigerator you’re looking for.
