    Lunch Time Solution

    With our ever increasing headcount, a standard refrigerator (think side by side) could not handle our capacity. This unit solved that issue beautifully! I purchased two for my office and they have been put to good use right away. Team member satisfaction has improved greatly with this simple investment. I might actually get a third unit!
