Frequently Asked Questions

Can a Kadeka back bar coolers be used as an undercounter chiller?

Yes, our back bar coolers are designed to provide convenient chilled storage behind or beneath a counter, allowing them to function as an undercounter chiller in suitable spaces. However, back bar coolers and undercounter chillers are broader product terms with different configurations, so installation requirements and dimensions should always be checked before choosing a unit.

How do you choose the right capacity for an undercounter chiller?

Consider how many bottles or cans you usually store, how often you restock, and the space available beneath the counter. IIf you mainly need temperature-controlled storage specifically for wine bottles, a dedicated wine chiller refrigerator may be more suitable.

When is a back bar cooler more suitable than a standard beverage fridge?

A back bar cooler is particularly useful when chilled drinks need to remain organised and within easy reach behind or beneath a service counter, such as in bars, cafés, restaurants, or entertainment areas. A beverage fridge may be a better fit when you need more general-purpose chilled beverage storage without the same counter-placement requirement.

Can an undercounter chiller replace a freezer?

No. A back bar cooler functioning as an undercounter chiller is designed to keep drinks and other suitable items chilled rather than frozen. If you need long-term frozen storage for food or stock, a commercial or chest freezer would be more appropriate.

What should businesses consider when choosing an under counter bar fridge?

Consider the available counter space, required storage capacity, door configuration, visibility of the contents, and how frequently staff will access the unit. For busy hospitality environments, a suitably positioned back bar cooler can help keep popular drinks organised and readily accessible during service.
