The Customer

Whitbread is one of the UK’s biggest names in hospitality with brands such as Premier Inn and Beefeater. With thousands of meals served daily across the country, having reliable refrigeration is essential to keep food fresh, safe, and ready to serve.

The Challenge

The main walk in freezer broke down at one of their restaurants at 7:30am one Saturday morning. With thousands of pounds worth of food at risk and strict food safety standards to meet, they needed a fast solution to avoid waste, stay compliant, and keep their kitchen open.
