MODULAR PREPARATION SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF
A modular preparation station system and method are provided. The modular preparation station system includes a base element with a perimeter track and a plurality of modular sidewall units which are engageable with the perimetral track to create an interior cavity with a variety of compartments such as to be adaptable to a wide range of commercial kitchen environments. The tracking is configured in a way to enable quick and accurate assembly of the modular preparation station internal cavity as well as to provide sufficient rigidity support and insulation to meet the needs of the commercial application. The preparation station system further includes a top element or working surface element with an adjustable cooling compartment. The top element secures to the interior cavity by way of one or more track allowing for efficient assembly and modification of the modular preparations station system.
