In a busy commercial kitchen or bar, staff need to find products quickly. Time spent opening refrigerator doors and searching through shelves can slow service, interrupt workflows and allow cold air to escape unnecessarily.
The SKOPE ReFlex glass-door undercounter fridge range helps solve this problem by keeping chilled stock clearly visible before a door is opened.
Available in two-, three- and four-door configurations from Hubbard Systems, these commercial glass-door fridges combine generous chilled storage with a durable stainless steel worktop. They are suitable for both back-of-house kitchens and customer-facing hospitality environments where performance, accessibility and presentation all matter.
Why choose a glass-door undercounter fridge?
A glass-door undercounter fridge allows staff to see ingredients, drinks and prepared products without opening the cabinet.
This simple difference can have a meaningful impact during a busy service. Team members can identify the correct product before reaching for the door, reducing time spent searching and helping to avoid repeated or unnecessary door openings.
Better visibility can help operators:
• Find ingredients and drinks more quickly
• Improve stock organisation
• Check stock levels at a glance
• Reduce unnecessary door opening
• Limit temperature loss during service
• Support more efficient stock rotation
• Create a more professional front-of-house display
In a commercial kitchen, these benefits can support a faster and more organised workflow. In bars, cafés and other customer-facing areas, glass doors also present chilled drinks and products clearly while keeping them conveniently close to the point of service.
SKOPE ReFlex Two-Glass-Door Undercounter Fridge
The SKOPE ReFlex RF7.UBR.2.GD is the most compact glass-door model within the multi-door range.
It provides 202 litres of net chilled storage within a 1290mm-wide cabinet. Two self-closing, lockable glass doors and four adjustable-height shelves allow operators to organise drinks, ingredients and prepared products while keeping them clearly visible.
Its comparatively compact footprint makes the two-door undercounter fridge suitable for:
• Independent restaurants and cafés
• Pub and hotel bars
• Coffee shops
• Smaller commercial kitchens
• Front-of-house service counters
• Individual food preparation stations
• Sites requiring additional localised refrigeration
An integrated stainless steel worktop allows the cabinet to be used as a preparation or service counter, helping operators make effective use of limited floor space.
SKOPE ReFlex Three-Glass-Door Undercounter Fridge
For businesses requiring more capacity, the SKOPE ReFlex RF7.UBR.3.GD provides 319 litres of net chilled storage within a 1750mm-wide cabinet.
Its three-door design helps operators organise products into separate storage areas. For example, a bar could separate bottled beers, soft drinks and mixers, while a kitchen could allocate different sections to ingredients, garnishes and prepared items.
Six adjustable-height shelves provide flexibility for different containers and product types. Door-activated LED lighting also helps staff identify stock quickly during busy service periods.
The three-door glass-fronted undercounter fridge is a strong choice for:
• Busy restaurants and pubs
• Hotel bars
• High-volume cafés
• Larger preparation stations
• Contract catering operations
• Leisure and hospitality venues
• Multi-user service areas
The unit combines increased storage capacity with clear product visibility, making it particularly useful where several members of staff need frequent access to chilled stock.
SKOPE ReFlex Four-Glass-Door Undercounter Fridge
The SKOPE ReFlex RF7.UBR.4.GD is designed for larger, higher-volume hospitality and foodservice operations.
It provides 436 litres of net refrigerated storage across a 2210mm-wide cabinet. Four glass doors and eight adjustable-height shelves create extensive storage space while allowing staff to see how products are organised before opening the refrigerator.
The four-door configuration is suitable for:
• High-volume restaurants
• Large hotel and banqueting operations
• Busy pubs and bars
• Production kitchens
• Contract catering sites
• Leisure and entertainment venues
• Large front-of-house service counters
• Multi-user food preparation areas
Its substantial stainless steel worktop also creates a large preparation or service surface above the refrigerated cabinet.
For operations with several members of staff working at the same station, the four separate door openings can help improve access and reduce congestion during busy periods.
Faster access in busy commercial kitchens
Speed and organisation are essential during food preparation and service.
When ingredients are stored behind solid doors, staff may need to open more than one section to find the required product. A glass-door refrigerator makes the internal layout visible, helping chefs and kitchen teams identify the right section immediately.
This can be particularly valuable at preparation stations where staff repeatedly access:
• Garnishes
• Dairy products
• Prepared ingredients
• Sauces and dressings
• Fresh produce
• Desserts
• Bottled products
• Pre-portioned items
Keeping these products directly beneath the worktop can also reduce unnecessary movement around the kitchen.
Instead of repeatedly walking to a centrally positioned upright refrigerator, staff can access frequently used stock directly from the preparation area.
A practical front-of-house refrigeration solution
The SKOPE ReFlex glass-door models are not limited to back-of-house kitchens.
Their stainless steel construction, internal lighting and double-glazed glass doors make them equally suited to customer-facing hospitality settings.
Potential front-of-house applications include:
• Bars and pubs
• Café counters
• Hotel service areas
• Restaurant bars
• Leisure venues
• Theatre and event bars
• Coffee shops
• Food halls
• Hospitality suites
Glass doors allow customers and staff to see bottled drinks and chilled products clearly, while the stainless steel worktop can support drink preparation, coffee service or other front-of-house tasks.
The result is a commercial undercounter fridge that combines practical refrigerated storage with a clean, professional appearance.
Reduce unnecessary door opening
Every time a refrigerator door is opened, some of the cold air inside the cabinet is replaced by warmer ambient air.
In a busy operation, repeatedly opening doors to search for products can make the refrigeration system work harder to restore its set temperature.
The glass-door design allows staff to identify products and check stock levels before opening the cabinet. This can help reduce unnecessary door openings and limit avoidable temperature loss during service.
It also helps operators identify low stock more quickly. Rather than opening each section to complete a visual check, managers can see much of the cabinet contents through the doors.
Double-glazed, low-E glass doors
Each model uses self-closing, lockable, double-glazed glass doors incorporating low-emissivity glass.
This construction helps combine product visibility with effective insulation and temperature stability. Self-closing doors also reduce the risk of a cabinet being accidentally left open during a busy service.
Built-in locks provide additional control over stock, which can be valuable in front-of-house areas, bars, shared kitchens and sites where access needs to be managed.
Stainless steel construction inside and out
Commercial refrigeration must withstand regular cleaning, repeated door opening and the demands of busy hospitality environments.
The SKOPE ReFlex glass-door undercounter fridges are constructed from 304 AISI stainless steel throughout their interiors and exteriors.
Stainless steel provides a durable, hygienic and professional surface suitable for commercial foodservice. A coved internal floor also helps simplify cleaning by reducing difficult corners where dirt and food debris can collect.
The cabinets include a heavy-duty 45mm stainless steel worktop, allowing each refrigerator to serve as both a chilled storage unit and a practical preparation or service counter.
Performance in ambient temperatures up to 40°C
Commercial kitchens and bar environments can become extremely warm, particularly around cooking equipment, glasswashers and other heat-producing appliances.
All three SKOPE ReFlex glass-door models are rated to operate in ambient temperatures of up to 40°C.
They maintain a standard food-storage temperature range of +1°C to +4°C, providing dependable refrigeration for demanding professional environments. Temperature settings can also be adjusted within the permitted range through SKOPE Connect.
This high-ambient capability makes the range suitable for UK hospitality businesses that need their commercial refrigeration to continue performing during busy services and periods of hot weather.
Removable refrigeration cartridge for easier servicing
Commercial refrigeration plays a critical role in daily operations, so maintenance and serviceability should be considered when selecting equipment.
The SKOPE ReFlex two-, three- and four-glass-door undercounter fridges feature a side-mounted removable refrigeration cartridge.
This modular system gives service engineers easier access to the refrigeration components, helping to simplify maintenance and potentially reduce the disruption caused by servicing.
Benefits can include:
• Faster access to the refrigeration system
• More straightforward maintenance
• Reduced operational disruption
• Improved equipment uptime
• Easier long-term equipment management
The design is particularly useful for busy hospitality businesses, national chains and multi-site operators where refrigeration downtime can have a significant operational impact.
SKOPE Connect included as standard
Each cabinet includes an SCS Connect controller compatible with the SKOPE Connect app through Bluetooth.
SKOPE Connect gives operators access to temperature information, adjustable settings, alerts and useful operating data from a compatible device.
This can help kitchen managers, facilities teams and multi-site operators maintain greater visibility over their refrigeration equipment.
Connected controls can support:
• Temperature monitoring
• Setting and alert management
• Access to operating information
• More consistent cabinet settings
• Food-safety procedures
• Proactive equipment management
SKOPE Connect is included as standard across the two-, three- and four-door glass-fronted undercounter fridge range.
Front ventilation for flexible installation
All three models ventilate through the front of the cabinet.
No ventilation clearance is required above, behind, below or at the sides, allowing the units to be positioned flush beneath counters and within fitted bar or kitchen layouts, subject to the relevant installation guidance.
This front-breathing design can be particularly valuable where available space is restricted by surrounding counters, equipment or walls.
The units are supplied with removable castors and a fitted electrical plug and lead. They do not require a plumbing connection, helping to simplify installation in new projects, refurbishments and equipment replacement programmes.
R290 natural refrigerant
The SKOPE ReFlex glass-door refrigerators use R290 natural refrigerant.
R290 has a much lower global warming potential than many traditional commercial refrigerants and is now widely used in modern foodservice refrigeration.
For operators reviewing the efficiency and environmental impact of their equipment, refrigerant choice is an increasingly important part of the specification process.
Three-year warranty protection
SKOPE ReFlex counter fridges and freezers are supported by a full three-year warranty, providing additional reassurance for operators, dealers and kitchen designers specifying the range.
Combined with the removable refrigeration cartridge and support available through Hubbard Systems, this helps provide confidence throughout the early years of equipment ownership.
Which glass-door undercounter fridge is right for your business?
The most appropriate model will depend on the available space, required storage capacity and expected level of demand.
The two-door RF7.UBR.2.GD is a practical choice for smaller bars, cafés, preparation stations and sites needing additional visible storage within a relatively compact footprint.
The three-door RF7.UBR.3.GD provides a balance of capacity and cabinet size for busy restaurants, hotels and hospitality operations.
The four-door RF7.UBR.4.GD offers the greatest storage capacity and worktop area for high-volume kitchens, large bars and multi-user service stations.
Before selecting a model, operators and kitchen designers should consider:
• Available cabinet width
• Required chilled capacity
• The products being stored
• Number of staff using the refrigerator
• Back-of-house or front-of-house positioning
• Workflow during peak service
• Access for cleaning and servicing
