CATERING & HOSPITALITY
Catering cool room hire in Melbourne
Keep ingredients and prepared stock close to service when the kitchen has run out of space.
A PRACTICAL SETUP
An extra cold room for busy service
Caterers often prepare for an event before they can use the venue kitchen. A mobile cool room gives the team room for chilled stock near the loading area or service space. It can also help a hospitality venue handle a large function or a busy trading period.
Blue Box hires refrigerated trailers in Melbourne and handles delivery and collection. Start with your food containers, stock volume and service schedule. The team can then discuss the unit, shelves, access and power needed at the site.
See the mobile cool room options or compare hire prices before you enquire.
