School kitchens don’t have the luxury of off days. Between USDA guidelines, staffing shortages, and feeding hundreds of students in a 42-minute lunch period, you need equipment that delivers — every single time.
At
FH&W, we represent brands that understand the real-world challenges of school foodservice. We’ve handpicked solutions that help streamline operations, improve food quality, and keep you ahead of the curve (and the health inspector). They’re reliable, efficient, and built for the fast pace of K-12 kitchens — no fluff, just function. Well, maybe a little flair.
Top School Foodservice Equipment Solutions from FH&W
Start with Breakfast
Lakeside Breakfast Cart
Breakfast in the classroom shouldn’t feel like a juggling act. The
Lakeside Breakfast Cart is a mobile, flexible solution designed to make hallway and classroom service smooth and efficient. With insulated stainless-steel bins, dry storage, and full-perimeter bumpers, it helps boost participation and morale — for staff and students alike.
Keep Food Fresher, Longer
Thermo-Kool Walk-Ins with Bluezone®
Nothing derails a food budget like produce that goes bad on day two.
Thermo-Kool walk-ins equipped with Bluezone® technology extend the shelf life of fresh ingredients by removing airborne mold, bacteria, and ethylene gas. That means fewer mystery smells, fewer surprise tosses, and more days of crisp lettuce that doesn’t resent you.
Move, Store, and Serve with Ease
Cres Cor Utility Carts & Heated Cabinets
Durable, mobile, and built to move at the speed of a school lunch line,
Cres Cor carts and cabinets make transporting and holding meals less of a headache. They come with antimicrobial latches, sturdy casters, and plenty of capacity to keep food hot — and safe — across the campus.
Push the Power Players
Cres Cor RO & CO Ovens
Reliable retherm? Consistent convection? You’ve got options. The
Cres Cor RO retherm oven heats quickly and evenly, while the
CO convection oven handles volume with precision airflow and simple controls. Both are designed for school kitchen demands — heavy use, tight timing, and food that needs to taste just as good at the end of service as it did at the start.
Bake Smarter, Not Harder
American Range Double-Stack Convection Oven
American Range double-stack ovens offer consistent heat, two-speed fans, and cleanable interiors that won’t turn into a science project by Friday. Designed for high-volume school kitchens that value speed without sacrificing quality.
Store it Safely
Continental Reach-In Refrigerators and Milk Coolers
When your walk-in is at capacity and the milk delivery just arrived,
Continental’s reach-in and milk coolers step up. Stainless steel interiors, pass-thru designs, and digital controls help you meet safety standards while making the most of your space.
Hold It All Day
Flexeserve Heated Merchandisers
For those extended lunch periods and grab-and-go needs,
Flexeserve merchandisers hold food at safe, delicious temps for hours. The tiered shelving and even airflow help your offerings look as good as they taste — no soggy sandwiches here.
