Sandwich & Salad Prep

Commercial Sandwich & Salad Prep Tables in Toronto & Canada

Speed up sandwich and salad prep with Phoenix Food Equipment's Sandwich & Salad Prep collection — refrigerated tables with a topping rail that keeps ingredients cold and within reach all shift. Choose a standard rail for shallow 1/6 pans, or a mega top rail with deeper, wider pans that hold more per position, a better fit for bulky salad toppings or a busier line. Most of our lineup comes from Nordic Air, our proprietary line and a budget-friendly choice for sandwich shops, delis, and cafes, alongside Atosa prep tables in the same size range, several with a night cover built in. For a premium build, we also carry Traulsen Centerline and UST series and True Refrigeration TSSU and food prep tables, both known for tighter temperature control and longer service life. Sizes run from a compact single-door table under 30 inches wide up to a 72-inch triple-door unit. Need pizza prep tables or under-counter storage too? Our Prep Refrigeration collection covers the rest of your prep line. Whether you're in Toronto, Mississauga, or right here in Vaughan, we ship across the GTA — Markham and Hamilton included — and nationwide across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from operators buying this kind of equipment.

What's the difference between a standard and a mega top sandwich prep table?

A standard sandwich prep table has a shallow rail on top sized for 1/6 and 1/3 size pans, usually 4 to 6 inches deep — enough for sliced meats, cheese, and sandwich toppings. A mega top prep table uses a wider, deeper rail instead, holding bigger pans with more volume per position, which suits bulkier salad toppings, larger batches, or a line that can't stop to restock mid-shift. Phoenix Food Equipment carries both standard and mega top rails across our Nordic Air, Atosa, Traulsen, and True Refrigeration lines, so you can match the rail to what you're actually prepping.

How do I choose between a single, double, and triple door sandwich prep table?

Door count comes down to how much rail space and under-counter storage your line needs. A single door prep table (17 to 32 inches in our lineup) suits a small sandwich shop or a secondary prep station, a double door unit (36 to 60 inches) covers most mid-size delis and restaurants, and a triple door table (70 to 72 inches) gives a high-volume line enough rail and cold storage to get through a rush without restocking. Phoenix Food Equipment stocks single, double, and triple door sandwich prep tables from Nordic Air, Atosa, Traulsen, and True Refrigeration across that full size range.

What is a night cover for a sandwich prep table?

A night cover is a hinged or removable lid that seals the topping rail overnight, holding in cold air so ingredients don't have to be pulled and thrown out or re-stocked fresh every morning. It's a simple way to cut both food waste and morning prep labor on a table running the same toppings day after day. Phoenix Food Equipment carries night covers sized for our Atosa MSF Series prep tables, and several Atosa models come with one built in from the factory — look for “NTCV” in the model name.
