Outdoor dining and catering have become a permanent fixture in the hospitality industry, largely due to the ongoing impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Restaurants and event spaces have already adapted by setting up outdoor dining areas. However, with this transition to outdoor operations, it's crucial to ensure that your equipment matches the new demands. So, what kind of portable catering equipment should you invest in to enhance your outdoor services?
In this article, we'll explore the essential features of portable catering equipment and highlight five product categories from IMC that can seamlessly integrate into your setup. Let's dive right in.
Why Portable Equipment Matters
The reality is that bulky, unwieldy equipment can hinder efficiency, especially when you're moving things around frequently throughout the day. The ideal portable equipment should have the following key attributes:
a. Compact Design – The less space your equipment occupies, the more room you have for other essential items.
b. Casters Are Essential – Equipping your gear with wheels allows for easy movement without the need for heavy lifting.
c. Lightweight Construction – Equipment that’s lightweight and manageable is highly preferable, ideally something one person can handle effortlessly.
With these characteristics in mind, let’s take a look at some IMC products that align perfectly with the needs of portable catering.
Cold Food Counters
For serving chilled items like salads or fruits, you'll need a cold food counter to maintain safe temperatures. Models #CFC and #CFCR are excellent choices to meet these requirements.
#CFC comes with a standard ice pan for your food items, while #CFCR features a comprehensive refrigerated cold pan. Both models come equipped with 5-inch heavy-duty casters for effortless mobility. These units can be customized extensively to suit your specific needs. Adding a sneeze guard is a smart move to improve hygiene. Here's a closer look at both products:

Hot Food Counters
On the flip side, if you’re serving hot meals like certain meats or noodles, a hot food counter is indispensable. Models #SHF and #SHFC will ensure your food stays at the perfect temperature.
#SHF offers standard hot food wells, while #SHFC provides a heated compartment for superior temperature control. Both models include 5-inch heavy-duty casters. #SHF can accommodate between 2 to 6 wells, whereas #SHFC can hold between 2 to 5 wells. Here's a better view of both products:

Bar Stations
While food is covered, drinks are equally important. A portable bar station is essential for serving beverages to your guests. Model #BRS-1 is the perfect companion for creating a functional bar area.
#BRS-1 includes all the essentials for bartenders, featuring an insulated ice bin, a sink bowl, garnish pans, drains, speed rails/shelves, and bottle holders. It also comes with a prep area and additional storage for supplies. Customizable sizes and options are available to tailor the product to your specific needs.

Ice Bins
No drinks are complete without ice, which is considered a food product and should be treated accordingly. Proper storage is critical to prevent melting. Models #IBP-1, #ITRC, and #IBT-36 are excellent choices for keeping ice frozen effectively.
#IBP-1 is a compact ice bin, #ITRC is an ice cart with a hinged top cover, and #IBT-36 is a fully equipped ice station with a utility shelf and extra storage space. All three models come standard with 5-inch heavy-duty casters. Additionally, they feature an all-welded insulated double-wall ice bin, ensuring ice stays frozen.

Tableware Dispensers
Finally, plates, bowls, and saucers are fundamental. To efficiently transport them from the kitchen to outdoor settings and back, tableware dispensers are a must. Models #PDU and #PDH offer practical solutions.
#PDU is an unheated tableware dispenser that can be fitted with 2 or 4 dispensing tubes, while #PDH is a heated tableware dispenser with the same configuration options. Each dispensing tube holds between 50 to 75 dishes or bowls.
