A thermal serving station for a countertop is a device by which hot or cold locations are built into a countertop to keep food warm or cold. A temperature rated glass plate houses either a heating coil or a refrigerant based refrigeration system is provided and is operated by electric power. Additional components are located in the cabinets below the countertop. Certain areas may provide both heating and cooling depending on the user's needs. Insulation under the countertop protects nearby materials from excessive temperature variations. The device is bordered by a trim ring and provides integral LED lighting as well. The lighting will glow red for a hot area and blue for a cold area. The device is controlled by a digital touch screen or by wireless link to a smart phone thus providing a smooth countertop area.

The present system provides a counter that incorporates an integrated UV light for periodic use in disinfecting the counter. The counter has a clear top, comprised of a material that is transparent to UV light. The counter includes sensors that detect the presence of people near the counter. The sensors disable the UV light to prevent exposure of people to the light when in use. The sensors also prevent the UV light from turning on until there are no people present. The UV light in one embodiment has a timed cycle sufficient to disinfect the counter surface, making it usable for food service.

The present invention discloses a folding table with storage functionality, comprising a tabletop with a through-hole, and a storage basin is installed on the tabletop within the through-hole. The storage basin is designed to extend and retract vertically, allowing it to switch between an expanded storage state and a folded compact state. When in the folded state, the storage basin fits within the through-hole without affecting the normal use or folding of the tabletop.
