Compa, WA

About the Business

Driven by a passion for making fine dining more accessible, Egidio Squillace founded Compa — an Italian restaurant café offering gourmet, on-the-go meals for busy customers. The menu includes signature pinsas, paninis, salads, sweets and coffee, all created with the same care and craftsmanship found in Egidio’s traditional restaurants.

A veteran chef with multiple venues across WA, including Birraz Ristobar, Egidio’s growing success at Compa meant he needed refrigeration with greater storage capacity, backed by reliable performance and strong customer support, to keep up with demand.

Challenge

With customers expecting quick service, Compa needed display refrigeration that could present food attractively while making it easy for customers to see their options in a compact space.

 

Their signature pinsas — hand-pressed and made from a blend of soy, rice and wheat flour before being fermented for up to 72 hours — also required precise temperature control. This created a need for a large, dependable storage freezer to maintain consistency in dough preparation and product quality.

Solution

Egidio consulted Tony from Auswest Coolrooms, who recommended Bromic units that would provide both strong visual presentation and the high storage capacity needed for Compa’s fast-paced environment.

 

FD4T1500C-NR – Cold Food Display
A 1.5m-wide cake and food display that maximises counter space and gives ample room to showcase Compa’s savoury and sweet offerings. The digital temperature controller helps staff maintain safe temperatures throughout the day — especially important in areas exposed to fluctuating ambient conditions.

 

UF1300SDF-NR – Upright Storage Freezer
Bromic’s largest upright freezer, offering the significant storage needed for Compa’s high turnover and meticulous dough preparation process. The stainless-steel construction provides durability and easy maintenance, making it ideal for busy hospitality venues.

 

With greater capacity, improved display, and dependable long-term performance, the new refrigeration setup supports Compa’s growing customer base and Egidio’s commitment to quality across all his venues.

“I’m very happy with Bromic products as they are high quality and perform consistently across my venues.”
