With 14 Adande units powering the upstairs kitchen and another 14 serving the Tower 28 Cafe downstairs, Kurrawa Surf Club relies on world-class refrigeration to keep pace with its bustling service.
Meeting high service demands
Kurrawa Surf Club on the Gold Coast operates one of the busiest kitchens in Queensland, serving between 4,000 and 8,000 covers each week. In such a high-pressure environment, consistent food quality and efficient service are essential.
That’s why the venue has adopted Adande dual temperature refrigerated drawers, distributed exclusively in Australia by Stoddart.
Consistent temperatures, fresher food
Executive Chef Jason Rodgers has seen the benefits immediately.
“They hold the temperature better — more stable with less fluctuation — and the food stays fresher for longer,” says Rodgers.
The drawers are used for a range of items, from fresh seafood like salmon and barramundi to frozen chips and lettuce.
Patented technology for energy savings
Adande’s patented insulated tub design keeps cold air in the compartment when the drawer is opened, maintaining stable temperatures and reducing energy use.
This stability not only improves shelf life but also minimises food waste — critical in an industry where margins are tight.
Adaptable to menu and season
Adande’s wide temperature range of -22 degrees Celsius to 15C means each drawer can function as either a fridge or freezer, with settings adjustable in precise one degree increments.
This gives chefs complete control, allowing them to adapt quickly to seasonal produce, evolving menus, or fluctuating service demands without the need for extra equipment — a major advantage in fast-paced commercial kitchens
Workflow and ergonomics
With ingredients stored at arm’s reach and clearly visible, kitchen staff work faster and more efficiently.
“No more bending down to find things at the back of fridges,” Jason notes.
Removable tubs make cleaning simple, reducing downtime.
