The Laughing Lark, VIC

About the Business

Nestled in a cozy corner of Frankston, Victoria is The Laughing Lark Café, a place of culinary creativity, where every bite and sip tells a story of passion and quality. The Laughing Lark is renowned for its commitment to great coffee and simple yet delicious food and has become a local haven for foodies seeking a warm dining experience.  

Hospitality veterans Lisa and Andrew often dreamt of opening their own café. With Lisa’s front-of-house expertise and Andrew’s back-of-house prowess, the two joined forces to open The Laughing Lark Café.

Challenge

Wanting to create a multifunctional, family friendly space that could double as a meeting area, Lisa and Andrew got started researching refrigeration that would fit seamlessly into the location, while maximising floor space and enhancing customer experience.  

With his passion for food, it was clear from the beginning, Andrew and the team would prepare their offerings in-house, meaning they’d need fridge and freezer storage for fresh ingredients that would give them easy access to the perishable items needed for their diverse menu.  

Solution

After connecting with James from Carlyle Engineering, the pair chose Bromic to support the unique needs of their business, valuing quality, consistent performance, and accessible warranty service. 

 

To meet the needs of The Laughing Lark the following units were supplied: 

 

– Under Bench Storage Fridges – The three-door under bench UBC1795SD-NR was selected for back-of-house use and a two-door under bench UBC1360SD-NR fit perfectly under the front-of-house counter for easy access to drinks, condiments, and other goods. 

 

– Upright Storage Freezer – the UF0650SDF-NR is an upright 650L storage freezer which gave the staff flexibility to store a larger quantity of food without taking up a lot of space in the kitchen. Additionally, the stainless steel makes maintenance and cleaning easy.  

 

– Back Bar Fridge – The BB0200GDS-NR-1 is a two-door sliding fridge. As all the meals are made to order, having a fridge where the chefs can easily access miscellaneous perishables like sauces was fantastic for their workflow and efficiency. The glass door allows for the staff to see exactly what products they have. Additionally, the sliding door was chosen over a hinged to save room in a tighter space.

 

The thoughtfully chosen variety of Bromic refrigeration units selected by the team perfectly catered to their precise requirements, maximising space and seamlessly achieving a balance of functionality and visual tranquility. The Laughing Lark is now set up to give customers a delightful experience by the beach and serve fresh, safe and delicious food.  

 

“Due to the space limitations, I chose Bromic as they offered a variety of refrigeration units that could nicely fit into the space. Additionally, every fridge has a sticker on it with a customer service number in case you run into any issues which is very handy.”
