Commercial Beverage Coolers and Drinks Fridges
Keep cold drinks visible, organised and ready to serve with a commercial beverage cooler from CaterWize. Our upright glass-door coolers are ideal for restaurants, cafés, bars, hotels, takeaways, convenience stores, supermarkets and other businesses that require reliable refrigerated beverage storage.
Choose from single and double door beverage fridges in various sizes, with hinged and sliding-door models available. The clear glass doors allow customers and staff to view available drinks easily, while the upright design provides practical storage without taking up unnecessary floor space.
Choosing the Right Beverage Fridge
The right drinks fridge will depend on your available space, the number of beverages you need to store and how frequently the unit will be accessed.
Before choosing a model, compare its:
- External dimensions
- Storage capacity
- Door configuration
- Number of shelves
- Operating temperature
- Electrical requirements
Single-Door Beverage Coolers
A single-door beverage cooler is a practical choice for cafés, offices, takeaways, smaller shops and serving areas where floor space is limited. Its compact upright design provides organised refrigerated storage while keeping bottled and canned drinks clearly visible.
Double-Door Beverage Coolers
Double-door beverage fridges offer greater storage and display capacity for busy restaurants, bars, supermarkets, convenience stores and hospitality businesses. They are well suited to businesses that stock a wider beverage range or need to keep larger quantities ready for service.
Sliding or Hinged Doors
Sliding-door beverage coolers work well in narrow aisles and serving areas because the doors do not swing outwards. This makes them a practical option where space in front of the cooler is limited.
Hinged or swing-door models provide wide access to the inside of the cabinet, making it easier to load, organise and restock beverages.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a beverage cooler and a standard fridge?
A beverage cooler is intended primarily for storing and displaying packaged drinks. Its glass doors improve product visibility, while the upright layout makes it easier to organise bottles and cans. Always check the individual model’s operating temperature and specifications before purchasing.
Should I choose a single or double door drinks fridge?
A single-door beverage fridge is generally better for smaller spaces or lower beverage volumes. A double-door cooler provides more display and storage capacity for businesses with a wider drinks selection or higher daily demand.
Are sliding doors better than swing doors?
Sliding doors are useful where there is limited space in front of the cooler. Swing doors require more clearance but provide wider access to the cabinet, which can make loading and restocking more convenient.
What should I check before buying a beverage cooler?
Measure the available installation space and check the cooler’s external dimensions, capacity, door type, operating temperature and electrical requirements. You should also allow the ventilation clearance specified for the individual model.
Can these beverage coolers be used for wine?
These are general commercial beverage coolers rather than dedicated wine refrigerators. If you plan to store wine for extended periods, confirm that the chosen model’s temperature range is suitable for the type of wine being stored.
