A food counter is very important for a food shop. If there is one thing that catering operators around the world must know, it is that food counters are one of the most important things to consider when providing catering services. Because no matter how you choose to look at it, customers start with contact counters. A good food counter can attract people to enjoy delicious food. Moreover, there are many compositions on the counter, and different materials will have different effects. Here are some material suggestions that will help you create the perfect food counter!       

When we build the shop counter, we need to consider the shop counter material... Basic material, surface material, logo material, countertop material and etc...

Let's introduce them one by one.

Basic Material:

All our counters have their own substrates. General substrates are divided into three types plywood, MDF, and stainless steel.

Plywood:

We all want to live happier and healthier lives, and using wood from sustainable sources helps us and the environment to do so. Fortunately, there are also many breakthroughs in interior design, which help us achieve green life. One of the breakthroughs is plywood. Due to advanced engineering technology, food counter design using plywood is very popular.

Plywood sounds like a fairly new concept, but the first use of layered wood dates back to 1500 BC in Egypt.

Plywood consists of thinner wooden planks and adhesive. The thinner wooden planks and adhesive are compressed to fully bond and form the final product. Plywood is used in construction because of its strength and durability and is also widely used in furniture manufacturing because of its use. The surface of the plywood is a laminate, which is very strong and very suitable for making food counters. You can also choose your own colors.

MDF:

According to the definition of composite board, MDF is a composite board product, which is combined with cellulose fiber and a synthetic resin or another suitable bonding system. These can be connected together under high temperature and pressure. MDF is very strong and stable, without grain and knot. These characteristics make it especially suitable for residential buildings and home decoration. In these places, precision machining, detailed patterns, and smooth finishes are essential. Because good-looking and smooth business furniture is necessary. 

For the surface of the MDF, we use baking paint, which is glossy and unique. And if you want to do a different shape, we also can assist you to make it. MDF is a good choice, and most people will choose it to make the candy shop and some unique kiosk. And for the color, we use the National Panton Card, which will be more professional and has many colors to choose from. You can choose what you are interested in, and our worker will match the color for you.

Stainless Steel:

As a leading manufacturer of stainless steel worktables and food counters, we already provide customized solutions for many commercial kitchens. Stainless steel is the most hygienic choice for kitchens because it is an affordable and reliable material.

Stainless steel provides a smooth, sturdy surface that is good for keeping a sanitary commercial kitchen environment.

As we all know, stainless steel is very important for hygiene in commercial kitchens and dining environments.

Hygiene is important in the kitchen of a hotel or commercial shop. Good sanitation can prevent food-related diseases. Especially in the stainless steel sink stool for washing dishes, the most important thing in making food is to prevent food from being cross-contaminated by other substances.

The sanitary performance of stainless steel can be summarized by its easy maintenance. We all use 304 stainless steel for food cabinets. We all know that stainless steel has high rust and scratch resistance.

The surface of stainless steel is smooth and has no gaps. This makes it impossible for dirt, bacteria, fungi or viruses to hide in the seams. Our door can be used well.  

The cleanliness of stainless steel is similar to that of glass. But it is much superior to materials such as plastic or aluminum. With all these factors in mind, you have a beautiful, economical, durable, and germ-resistant surface. Long stainless steel work tables are ideal materials for food applications. Generally, in America and Australia, they are very strict with the food counters. Generally, the countertop is made of stainless steel.

Countertop Material

Almost all restaurants use countertops. Many upscale restaurants have a bar area that serves drinks. No matter what the environment is, it is important to find a table to show your needs.

When choosing a tabletop, our first consideration is to find a tabletop that matches your decoration. Although an elegant marble exhibit looks beautiful in an upscale restaurant, it may not be suitable for a tea shop. However, there are also some durable countertop materials, which are also available in various colors and styles.

Quartz stone 

Quartz countertops are popular because it has a wide selection of colors and patterns to match any restaurant decorations. More importantly, it is dyeing and waterproof as well as antibacterial. Quartz is non-porous, which makes it easy to keep and ideal for food. As it is one of the hardest countertop materials, it is also quite durable. And the final effect looks very high-end.

Granite

Granite is one of the most needed mesa materials, second only to Quartz. This kind of natural stone can bear a heavy load and the maintenance cost is relatively low. Granite has high scratch resistance and high calorie, so we can wash it with simple soap and water. However, granite is one of the most expensive mesa materials.  

Marble

As we mentioned earlier, marble is exquisite and elegant. It can be used as a decoration in the reception area, but it may be too maintained as a restaurant counter. Because marble is quite soft and porous, it can't bear the wear and tear of daily use. More importantly, marble is easily damaged by acidic foods, such as tomatoes and lemons. Marble is not very suitable for a restaurant display.

Artificial stone countertop  

Many fast leisure restaurants use artificial stone countertops because they can imitate many natural materials, such as marble or granite. It can form almost any shape or style, and it is almost seamless. Moreover, its price is relatively affordable, and the effect is also very good.

Laminate

Compared with natural stone, laminate is a cheaper choice. But remember not to put the hot pot directly on it, which is easy to expand. You can't scratch it with a blade either, it is very easy to scratch. Generally, we use Stone countertops for food cabinets.

Almost all countertops can be customized to suit the size and style of your restaurant or bar. When you order it, you need to consider its purpose and quantity, so as to choose the most suitable organization for you.

Logo

Stainless steel logo 

Generally, stainless steel logos are made of 3D stainless steel logos. The 3D metal logo has many advantages, such as durability, and can make all kinds of colors and metal finishes, which are usually difficult to achieve with other materials.

The metal used to make the logo can be operated in many ways and combined to make a wonderful design. That's why most people will like this thing.

Metals like stainless steel are used for identification because they can produce a wide variety of colors and finishes. The most commonly used stainless steel is grade 304 (silver) stainless steel, which is made of brushed satin and mirrors polished chrome plating. Stainless steel also includes a range of non-ferrous metals, such as gold, bronze, and rose gold, which are ideal for making durable logos. You can also use it outdoors, and this logo is also very suitable for outdoor use.

Acrylic logo

The acrylic logo is a great choice for many stores, including indoor and outdoor logos, commercial banners, menu stands, table tents, or professional settings. If you really want your store to stand out from the crowd, the acrylic logo is the perfect solution.

You need to use acrylic logos to make your store look attractive. They are 100% customizable. Acrylic is one of the best ways to show your logo or brand. From the application field of acrylic, we can see that it has been playing an important role in the advertising industry.

Neon logos are also called neon luminous words. The bright, beautiful, and dynamic characteristics of neon words can't be replaced by any electric light source. Neon characters are made of glass tubes, which can be tortuous into any shape after firing. The neon logo has great flexibility. By choosing different kinds of pipes and filling them with different inert gases, neon characters can obtain colorful and multi-color light. The neon logo is very common in our life. But also bring different effects to the cabinet.
