Behind the Scenes at Chicken Shop: How Adande Drawers Keep a Hot Brand Running Cool
We recently paid a visit to the team at Chicken Shop in London, the trendy QSR brand that’s become a favourite amongst Londoners for its perfectly crispy chicken, Michelin-starred burger collaborations (shoutout to Gareth Ward!), and a celebrity fan base that includes artists like Aitch and Jeleel. But beyond the buzz, we wanted to see what makes their kitchen tick. Spoiler alert: their behind-the-scenes setup is just as impressive as what’s in their burgers.
Speed, Space & Smart Storage
In a fast-paced kitchen serving high volumes daily, every second counts. The Chicken Shop team relies on Adande drawers to keep their operation running smoothly, giving them the efficiency and flexibility they need to deliver quality at speed. In their Islington restaurant, the kitchen includes a VCR1 Chefbase, a VCS1 Cassette, a VCC1 Compact drawer and a VCS2 Undercounter unit. This great variety of Adande equipment gives the team various benefits for the kitchen and the Chicken Shop team such as…
Easy Access & Bulk Storage at Point of Use
No more running to remote freezers mid-service. Adande drawers bring bulk storage directly to where the action happens, keeping ingredients within arm’s reach. Having the chip scuttle placed on top of the VCR1 Adande unit and next to the fryers gives the Chicken Shop team a smooth workflow in a small footprint. Meaner a speedier service and burgers out sooner for hungry customers!
Deep Freezer Capacity with the VCC1 Compact
The VCC1 Compact offers serious deep storage power in a compact footprint, offering up to 30 kg (66.1 lbs) capacity and 69 Litres (18.23 gallons) of volume. It’s perfect for holding frozen stock without taking up valuable floor space.
One Drawer, Endless Flexibility
Most of Chicken Shop’s Adande drawers run in freezer mode, but that’s just one part of the story. What makes Adande drawers so versatile is their ability to operate across a temperature range from -22°C to +15°C (-8°F to +59°F), all in a single unit. Whether you need deep freeze storage, bulk chilled storage with prep space on top, or something in between, Adande drawers level up your kitchen operations.
Cool Thinking for a Hot Brand
It’s always exciting to see our drawers in action, especially in kitchens as dynamic as Chicken Shop’s. Their setup proves that when you combine smart design with flexible equipment, you create a kitchen that can keep pace with demand, without compromising on quality. Thanks to the Chicken Shop team for having us down and showing us how Adande is helping them stay efficient, organised, and ready for whatever service throws their way.
