Delfield Mega Top Tables

The mega-top prep table combines a spacious refrigerated ingredient rail on the top with a full-width refrigerated storage cabinet underneath, creating a high-capacity prep station that keeps ingredients chilled and within arm’s reach while supporting active prep work. These units typically feature a wide cut-board work surface integrated into the top, multiple recessed pans for toppings or prep ingredients, and a large interior storage cabinet or drawers below for bulk chilled storage. Construction is commercial-grade—stainless steel exterior and interior or stainless front with aluminum liner—ensuring durability in heavy use kitchens. The refrigeration system often uses environmentally friendly R-290 refrigerant, delivers forced-air or ducted airflow to maintain consistent temperatures throughout the rail and cabinet, and supports food-safe operation of fresh ingredients. The increased ingredient rail capacity (often much larger than standard prep tables) allows a kitchen to stock many more ingredient pans—sometimes up to 30 or more—reducing trips to the walk-in cooler and improving workflow efficiency. These tables are ideal for operations with high ingredient turnover, such as sandwich shops, salad bars, pizza prep stations or fast-casual concepts, where speed and access matter. When selecting one, key considerations include width (60" / 72" or more), pan capacity, configuration of doors vs drawers below (door unit for bulk storage, drawers for frequent access), refrigeration performance, cutting board depth, and footprint layout. The mega-top prep table supports improved workflow, ingredient visibility, and efficient chilled storage in a single footprint.
