Designed to keep food hot and ready to go, its flexible design means its shelves can be configured any way imaginable. By combining with other Super Erecta shelving systems it can create standalone hot holding solutions, as well as storage and workstations with integrated heated holding.

Michael Eyre, product director at Jestic Foodservice Solutions, said: “This is a fantastic innovation from leading catering equipment manufacturer Metro. Hot holding is helping operators optimise workflow, reduce food waste, and help deliver an increased speed of service.

“When operators are faced with issues such as heavy traffic, driver availability, hot holding solutions such as the new Metro Hot Shelves help mitigate threats to business reputations by keeping food hot, appetising and ready to go.”

With an adjustable thermostat, operators can enjoy separate individual control of each shelf, whilst the advanced low wattage design requires less power to operate and has a lower energy consumption. Each shelf can be adjusted at 25mm increments to customise the desired shelf space.
