What You’ll Learn in This Blog
In this blog, we explore how foodservice operators across Texas and Oklahoma are using flexible and mobile equipment to meet shifting demands, reduce labor strain, and serve smarter. We’ll walk you through real equipment solutions from five of FH&W’s trusted manufacturers —
Cadco,
Continental Refrigerator,
Lakeside,
Multiteria, and
Fermod — and explain how each one delivers purpose-built adaptability for your kitchen, serving space, or storage room.
If you’re designing a new layout, adjusting to tighter labor models, or simply want equipment that can evolve with your business, this blog will help you explore the possibilities.
Why Flexibility and Mobility Matter Now
The way we serve food has changed — and continues to change. Today’s foodservice professionals are rethinking how spaces are used, how staff flows through those spaces, and how to make every inch count. That’s especially true across Texas and Oklahoma, where our operators deal with large facilities, diverse service models, and seasonal traffic shifts.
Whether you’re feeding students, patients, fans, or everyday customers, flexible and mobile equipment gives you the power to pivot quickly and efficiently.
At
Forbes Hever & Wallace, we represent manufacturers who understand these challenges and build equipment that responds.
Cadco: Mobile Service, Built for Performance
Cadco’s *Grab & Go Carts* offer flexible mobile merchandising and food service options designed to go wherever your team needs them. From school hallways to retail stations, these carts are engineered to move.
Each cart can be customized with hot or cold bays, adjustable shelves, flip-up trays, and branded panels. They’re easy to maneuver and built with silent casters and reinforced stainless steel for long-term durability. Operators love that Cadco carts are as practical as they are professional — ready to roll into any foodservice setting with minimal setup and maximum utility.
Continental Refrigerator: Cold Storage that Adapts with You
Continental Refrigerator designs refrigeration equipment that gives operators room to move. From pizza prep to sandwich units to worktops that double as counter space, Continental helps teams streamline back-of-house efficiency without locking them into rigid formats.
What sets Continental apart is its focus on flexible pan layouts, ergonomic prep zones, and durable components that work in tandem — not in conflict — with evolving kitchen workflows. Their units are made to scale, pivot, and grow as your operation does.
Lakeside: Form Meets Function, on Wheels
Lakeside specializes in mobile carts and serving counters that blend form and function. Whether you’re serving grab-and-go meals in a hospital, rolling out a mobile beverage station, or merchandising prepackaged snacks, Lakeside’s portfolio offers both flexibility and aesthetic control.
Operators can choose from a wide range of finishes, layouts, and mobility features to match the environment and workflow. Because Lakeside is part of the Sandstone Group, they bring production-level capability backed by decades of experience. Plus, when you need a cart-based solution, FH&W often works through Lakeside to find the right fit.
Multiteria: Custom Counters with Scalable Style
Multiteria focuses on one thing: custom serving counters that don’t just look good — they perform under pressure. Built with design flexibility in mind, Multiteria lets operators choose from good, better, or premium finishes, lighting, signage, and layouts.
Whether you’re outfitting a K–12 school or an upscale dining hall, Multiteria helps you get the look you want with the function you need. And because they’re part of the same family as Lakeside, you get the added benefit of shared engineering insight and streamlined manufacturing.
Fermod: Storage That’s Faster, Smarter, and Easier to Install
Fermod modular shelving stands out for more than its durability — it’s also incredibly easy to install and customize. While many systems require matching shelf heights across connected units, Fermod allows each section to be independently spaced, giving operators the freedom to maximize storage based on their exact needs.
Everything ships clearly labeled for its location (walk-in, dry storage, etc.), and one person can assemble an entire system in a short amount of time — no special tools or teams required. With competitive pricing that consistently beats other major players, Fermod delivers more flexibility, faster installs, and smarter design for the back-of-house.
