Sandwich Prep Tables

Prep tables are a cornerstone of efficient kitchen workflow, providing a dedicated space for chopping, mixing, and assembling ingredients. Available in a variety of materials and sizes, these tables help streamline food preparation in restaurants, cafeterias, and catering facilities. The most common options are stainless steel tables and poly top work tables, each suited for different types of tasks and environments. Stainless steel is preferred for general-purpose prep due to its durability and easy-to-sanitize surface, while poly tops are ideal for meat and deli prep where knife impact is frequent.

Many commercial prep tables include convenient features such as undershelves for storage, backsplash guards to prevent spills, and built-in cutting board surfaces. Some models come with mounted utensil holders or condiment containers to keep essentials within reach. Mobile options with locking casters are also popular in operations that require flexibility in layout or multi-use spaces. These design variations help improve efficiency and support food safety practices across a variety of kitchen setups.

Choosing the right prep table depends on the space available in your kitchen and the type of food being prepared. For example, salad stations may benefit from a wide surface and pan rails, while bakeries might prefer deeper tables for dough work. Consider also the load rating and gauge thickness of the table material to ensure it can handle the intensity of commercial use. Models constructed from 14- or 16-gauge stainless steel offer greater strength for heavy-duty environments.
