Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so ice buildup is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your display refrigerator to catch wear before it becomes ice buildup.
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of ice buildup in hotels cold chains.
