Line by line, the pastries sit and wait to be eaten. Every one puts a smile on a face. It's amazing how you can take simple ingredients plus a lot of hard work and come up with delicious baked goods. Bakery display cases play an important role in their life too. Once all of the treats are baked, they have to be protected, well lit, and accessible. Keeping baked goods inside of a bakery display case will protect them from the elements until it is time to serve them. If the goods need to be refrigerated, then the refrigeration system in the bakery display case will keep them cool and the icing from melting.
Baked treats also need to be well lit so that your customer can see every bit of their tastiness. Many bakery display cases come with top lights but some don't come with shelf lights and rely on ambient light to filter to the lower pastries. It always pays off to have shelf lights under each shelf so that all of your pastries can be seen. Your staff spends so much time on making them look and smell great. Shelf lights will help your customer see them better. One option to consider is accessibility.
Do you want your bakery display cases to be front opening and able to be opened by the public? These would be self serve bakery cases. Some are front and rear opening and the staff side or service side of the display case is primarily used to restock the case. This is typically standard in wall display cases that sit in front of a kitchen or bakery. Customers can retrieve the pastries of their choice.
This is great for fast paced restaurants with little customer service needed. If you sell really high end pastries, you might want to have your staff serve them as this adds to the experience. Your staff will also be able to keep the pastries in neater rows inside of the bakery display case while they are being sold and refilled. If customers are getting their own pastries, they are more likely to get messy. When it is time to clean up for the day, make sure you bakery display case comes with high pressure laminate bottoms that will stand up to years of cleaning. You want them to last a lifetime.
