Abstract:
A multi-zone food holding bin has a continuous food supporting surface with multiple food holding zones. Each food holding zone is independently controllable so that different food temperatures may be maintained in adjacent food holding zones.

Claim (Index 1):
A multi-zone food holding bin comprising:\n a chassis having a front face and an opposing rear face; a first food holding compartment within the chassis, the food holding compartment having at least a first opening, the first opening being open, uncovered and located at the front face of the chassis, the first opening being configured to allow food items to be placed into and removed from the food holding compartment; a continuous and planar surface forming a bottom of the food holding compartment; a first food holding zone formed in the food holding compartment, the first food holding zone having an independently controllable first heating element disposed at a top portion of the food holding compartment, and an independently controllable second heating element disposed at a bottom portion of the food holding compartment, the first food holding zone including a first food holding bay and a second food holding bay, each of the first and second food holding bays being configured to receive a food holding tray; and a second food holding zone formed in the food holding compartment, the second food holding zone having an independently controllable third heating element disposed at the top portion of the food holding compartment and an independently controllable fourth heating element disposed at the bottom portion of the food holding compartment, the second food holding zone including a third food holding bay and a fourth food holding bay, each of the third and fourth food holding bays being configured to receive a food holding tray, wherein the first food holding zone and the second food holding zone are adjacent one another across the continuous planar surface and the first food holding zone is configured to maintain a first temperature and the second food holding zone is configured to maintain a second temperature, the first temperature and the second temperature capable of being different than one another.
