Cake Display

Updated: Mar 18

Care and Handling

The cake display box must be treated with the highest level of care and cleanliness at all times.



Closing Down Procedure

At the end of the night, the cake display box should be brought down by a competent person — someone strong and careful enough to handle the box safely.



Placement and Setup

The cake display box should be positioned on the front bar, in front of the ale beer pump. (see photos)



Cake display doors must face inwards (toward the bar side) for service access.



Display Arrangement:

  • The wine bucket should be removed.

  • The tall cake stand should be placed at the back (with black napkins underneath), and the short cake stand should be placed in front of it. (See reference photo)



Display Times: 09:30 AM to 6:00 PM.



Cleaning and Maintenance

The cake display box sides and base should remain fingerprint-free, both inside and out.


Clean using Maxx Brial 2 cleaner and blue roll (FOH spray bottles).


At the end of the day, the display box should be emptied, cleaned, and placed on the shelf labeled “Cake Display Box Here” in the office.



Cake Storage

Cakes, brownies, and traybakes should be placed in the milk fridge, stored in their relevant boxes with a day dot (+3 days from defrost).


Cakes require 2-3 hours to defrost. To ensure the best quality, remove the required amount the night before and let them defrost in the fridge overnight.



Display Setup

Cakes should be displayed on the appropriate cake stands, with horizontal L-shaped magnetic signs (do not display prices on the signs).



Display Arrangement:

  • All available cakes in a display box, neatly arranged in rows on top of paper, with relevant signs placed in front.

  • Tray bake slices should be displayed horizontally, no more than 5 pieces.

  • Mini cakes/friands should be displayed in 2 rows of 3 max.

  • Horizontal L-shaped magnetic signs (do not display prices on the signs) at the front for customer view.


Ensure that all cakes and signs are placed equidistant from the edges of the box and are neatly arranged in tidy rows.



Display Box Maintenance

Nothing should be stored on top of the cake display box at any time.


Customers are not allowed to place drinks on top of the display box.



Cleaning After Display

After the display ends, the box should be emptied, cleaned, taken upstairs by competent person and stored on the designated shelf in the office
