Rear-Mounted or Side-Mounted Compressor?

Most sandwich prep tables have rear-mounted compressors that pull air from the front and bottom of the unit, allowing for flush placement against the wall or other counters. Side-mounted compressors may provide better access for cleaning and service and are popular as pizza prep tables.

How Many Pans Do You Need?

Consider your menu, production process, and daily orders to work out the volume of food you will store in your unit. Most tables come with ⅓ size pans, but if you’re looking for more space, a mega-top prep table provides an extra row of pans for storing more ingredients.

Sandwich Prep Tables vs Pizza Prep Tables

Sandwich prep tables usually have a shallower cutting board of 10”/250mm wide, ideal for slicing bread. A pizza prep table has a wider cutting surface of 19”/480mm, big enough for preparing multiple large pizzas simultaneously. Pizza prep tables have raised pans, while sandwich prep table pans are recessed to counter level.
