Woodson

Woodson is the everyday workhorse brand for Australian cafés, bakeries, QSRs and convenience stores — covering hot and cold food display cases, pie warmers, bain maries, hot water urns, contact grills, griddles, milkshake mixers and bench fryers from one supplier. Models scale from single-bay countertop displays to multi-module self-serve units, with rotary controls and stainless construction that survive years of high-traffic service. The Woodson name carries genuine local recognition across hospitality — available now through Commercial Kitchen Company.

Walk into any Australian café, bakery or service station and there's a strong chance the pie warmer, hot food display, urn or contact grill on the counter carries a Woodson badge. The brand's catalogue includes the Woodson Pro Series 200 Capacity Pie Display — a flagship pie warmer alongside 60- and 100-capacity siblings for smaller venues; 2- to 6-module hot food displays in square-glass, straight-glass and self-serve configurations; matching cold food displays; 2/1 GN benchtop and floor-standing bain maries; 10, 20 and 30 litre hot water urns; 8 and 15 slice contact grills and toaster grills; flat and ribbed griddles; twin-pan and auto-lift bench fryers; and milkshake mixers for café drink stations.

The build is deliberately simple. Cabinets use food-grade stainless steel with rounded internal corners that wipe down in seconds, glass on hot and cold displays is double-glazed to hold cabinet temperature stable without fogging, and controls are rotary thermostats and mechanical timers — no touchscreens to fail, no buried menu systems for new staff to learn. Heating elements, hotplates and bain marie wells are spec'd for continuous-duty service rather than light use, and every unit ships with Australian electrical compliance.

Where Woodson earns its place is in daily operation. Hot display modules run on individually controlled heat zones, so unused bays can be switched off during quieter periods rather than sitting at temperature wasting power. Pie warmers reach holding temperature quickly and hold pies in the food-safe zone without drying the crust. Double-skinned urns keep external surface temperatures down so wait staff don't burn fingers reaching past them at speed. Bench fryers fit standard bench depths and recover oil temperature quickly between baskets, so the second batch isn't slower than the first during peak trading.

The full Woodson range is stocked at Commercial Kitchen Company with nationwide delivery and genuine spare parts ready to ship — heating elements, thermostats, glass panels, urn taps, fryer baskets and grill plates.
