A restaurant display fridge is a commercial refrigeration device specially designed for storing and displaying food and drinks to customers.

These devices usually have a transparent outer surface so that the stored food can be seen from the outside, and some are also equipped with LED lighting and automatic defrosting systems to ensure the freshness and hygiene of the food.
A restaurant display fridge can be closed or open. A closed restaurant display fridge displays food through a transparent or removable door, while an open restaurant display fridge has no door and is directly exposed to the environment.
