Where are corner glass counters used?

Corner glass counters might be more versatile than you think, with many more suitable locations and applications than it first appears.

For instance, they can be used:

• Directly in the corner of a room as self-service countertops.
• In line with the walls but with assisted service walkways behind.
• Away from any walls to artificially introduce a corner or angle into the counter.

This means glass corner counters can be useful not only in enclosed spaces where they need to fit into the corners of the room, but also as a way to create a divide between different areas in open-plan foodservice premises.

Using corner glass counters with countertop display units

Many idesign countertop display units are suitable to be used in corners, with angled shelves that can make it easier to retrieve food items from the furthest corners of the display.

Our assisted service merchandisers are also naturally a good option for corners, as these allow staff to serve food and drinks to customers from parts of the corner space that would be difficult to reach from the customer’s side of the counter.

We can also work on bespoke glass counters for corners that are not at 90 degrees or where you have a specific idea about how to maximise your use of the space to better serve your customers.

Best practice for corner display counters

There are several things you can do to make best use of corner display counters, such as offering assisted service or using food merchandisers with sloping shelves as mentioned above.

You may want to serve cold or ambient foods in this location, and avoid any unsealed liquids, to ensure that customers are not reaching further over a counter to retrieve hot or spillable items.

You might also want to provide a trayslide so customers can leave their tray with both hands while they reach into the corner to pick up the items they want.

By planning the space in this way, you can make certain that all items on display are easy to retrieve without reaching too far, or provide assisted service to hand over any products that are out of reach from the customer’s side.

Our corner glass countertops are a classy and stylish option to make use of small space while displaying your produce.
