Like every other piece of equipment for your business, additional research is needed when buying a salad station. The good quality ones tend to be very expensive, and the last thing you need is to spend a lot of money on a large station that doesn’t last through the year. A good indicator is the material used to make the station. Go for stainless steel or a combination of stainless steel and aluminum. And, take the time to read through the reviews; they are a good way to tell how the station has served other users.
