Build a 4-Series Front-of-House Serving System

4-Series Buffet Unit
Vollrath Pro Staff -

Vollrath front-of-house serving systems are perfect for stadiums, airports, hospitals, schools, and other locations where you need to serve customers quickly and conveniently. Our 4-Series serving systems offer modular designs with a variety of sizes, shapes and materials to suit your professional foodservice operation. We’ll walk you through the steps here. Then, when you’re ready, give us a call and our team will ensure you get exactly what you want. 

Begin with a base  

First choose a rectangular base designed for your unique application, including size. Will you serve hot foods, cold foods, or both in one unit? Maybe you’re considering a bain-marie or frost top? We also have beverage counters, as well as utility, corner, and cashier stations. 

Choose colors and textures 

We’ll design a unit that’s perfect for your foodservice operation. In addition to standard black bases with 18-gauge stainless steel countertops, options include an array of colors and textures, including laminates and vinyl, all stainless steel construction, standard graphics packages or design your own. 

Determine countertop needs 

Get the look you want with countertops designed to fit your durability requirements and budget. Together, we’ll consider scratch and stain resistance, heat resistance, porosity, repairability and more. 

Select breath guards 

For appealing food presentation and a healthy environment, the right breath guards are essential. Vollrath has options for every type of serving area, including single- or double-sided buffets and cafeterias. Choose from an array of lengths and colors, along with accessories like lights and heat strips. 

Specify electrical and plumbing 

Your Vollrath team will help you determine your specific electrical and plumbing needs, then design a serving system that performs beautifully in your space. Our on-site electricians will get you up and running with UL-listed single-point connections ranging from 15-to-100-amp three-phase service. 

Add accessories 

Perfect your presentation with optional accessories such as plate rests, tray slides, cutting boards, end shelves, false bottoms, extra storage, lighting, heat lamps, tray and flatware carts, and more. 

See how simple designing your serving system can be? Once you’ve considered your needs, contact Vollrath and we will fulfill your vision.
