Cabinets
Commercial Stainless Steel Cabinets for Restaurants & Kitchens
Commercial stainless steel cabinets provide dedicated storage for utensils, cookware, containers, dishes, and operating supplies in restaurants, hotels, central kitchens, bakeries, and other professional foodservice environments. Kawader offers different cabinet configurations including floor-standing, wall-mounted, open, sliding-door, and corner units for a variety of commercial kitchen layouts.
Different dimensions and installation types allow businesses to select storage according to available space and the items that need to remain close to each workstation.
Types of Commercial Stainless Steel Cabinets
Floor-Standing Cabinets
Floor-standing cabinets provide larger storage areas below normal working height and can be positioned alongside preparation and cooking equipment.
Different widths allow operators to choose units according to available space and the length of the kitchen line. Selected designs can also be integrated into modular commercial kitchen layouts.
Wall-Mounted Cabinets
Wall cabinets make use of vertical space without occupying valuable floor area. They can be installed above preparation tables and other workstations to keep frequently used containers and utensils within convenient reach.
This configuration is particularly useful in compact commercial kitchens where additional floor cabinets may restrict staff movement.
Sliding-Door Cabinets
Sliding doors are practical in narrow kitchen aisles because they do not require additional clearance in front of the cabinet when opened.
These cabinets can be positioned close to preparation tables and service lines while providing enclosed storage for dishes, cookware, containers, and operating supplies.
Open Storage Cabinets
Open cabinets provide fast access to frequently used equipment and supplies. They are useful in stations where staff repeatedly remove and return tools during daily service.
Depending on the design, open cabinets can also function as storage bases below selected cooking or preparation equipment.
Corner Cabinets
Corner cabinets help use spaces between adjacent kitchen units that might otherwise remain empty. They can be integrated with work tables and other cabinets to create a more continuous kitchen layout.
How to Choose the Right Stainless Steel Cabinet
Start by identifying what will be stored. Large cookware requires different internal dimensions from plates, containers, and smaller utensils, so width, depth, and cabinet height should all be considered.
Next, determine the installation position. Wall-mounted cabinets are useful where floor space is limited, while floor-standing models can provide greater storage capacity below working level.
Door type should also match the available clearance. Sliding doors work well in narrow aisles, while hinged doors can be used where sufficient opening space is available.
Internal shelf configuration, load requirements, accessibility, and cleaning should also be reviewed when choosing commercial storage equipment.
Combine Cabinets with Commercial Work Tables
Stainless steel cabinets can be combined with commercial stainless steel work tables to create preparation stations with nearby storage for containers, utensils, and operating supplies.
Wall cabinets can also be installed alongside stainless steel shelving, using enclosed cabinets for items that require protected storage and open shelves for frequently accessed supplies.
Storage Around Washing & Preparation Areas
Cabinets can be positioned near commercial stainless steel sinks to support the organisation of washing equipment and cleaned containers, while maintaining a clear workflow between used and clean items.
Food preparation areas can also position storage cabinets near commercial food processing equipment to organise attachments, containers, and tools used with cutting, mixing, and dough preparation machines.
Where equipment needs to be elevated or supported separately, cabinets can work alongside commercial equipment stands according to the kitchen layout and machine requirements.
Stainless Steel Cabinets for Cafés
Commercial cabinets are also useful in coffee shops and beverage operations. They can be integrated with a barista station to organise cups, tools, containers, and beverage preparation supplies close to the working area.
Enclosed storage helps reduce visual clutter in customer-facing areas, while open shelving can be used for supplies that require constant access during service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a wall cabinet and a floor cabinet?

Yes. Open units are useful where staff need quick and frequent access to equipment, while enclosed cabinets are more appropriate for organised protected storage.
Can cabinets be installed above preparation tables?
Wall-mounted cabinets can be installed above suitable workstations where dimensions, clearance, and installation requirements allow safe and practical use.
How do I choose the right cabinet width?
Consider available kitchen space, storage requirements, and surrounding equipment while maintaining clear staff movement and access.
