A cubby unit includes a plurality of cubbies and a thermal management system. Each of the plurality of cubbies includes a cubby housing defining an internal compartment. The thermal management system is configured to facilitate thermally regulating at least one of (i) a food product selectively received within the internal compartment of at least one of the plurality of cubbies or (ii) the internal compartment of the at least one of the plurality of cubbies.

A display capable of being easily and quickly constructed from panels, shelving, racks, fixtures, endcaps, stands, or other implements is contemplated. The display may include planar panels capable of being effortlessly and swiftly folded and assembled into a serving stadium having a tiered structure for displaying food and other items in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

An integrated display coordination system is provided. The system includes at least one display surface structure. The system may also include a base, and the base may be interfaced with the support structure. The system may consist of a plurality of posts, and the plurality of posts configured are able to be affixed to the at least one display surface and/or base. The display item areas, a base, a support structure, plurality of posts, and the at least one display surface are configured to be cleanable, sanitize-able, and reusable before and after utilization of the integrated display coordination system.

A monitoring and control system is provided. The system includes a plurality of sensors for obtaining readings associated with food items, such as temperature readings, freshness indications, and the like. The system is scalable and configurable with each sensor being capable of functioning as an individual sensor and/or as part of a grouping of sensors. The system is configured to obtain a variety of information, such as ambient air temperature, dwell time of food items, moisture levels, and the like, thereby enabling the system to recognize current and future concerns. The system provides audio and visual warnings and visual displays. In some embodiments, the system performs one or more physical operation based on one or more detected condition. The system is further configured to distinguish between accurate readings and inaccurate readings and/or to otherwise determine if an obstacle is preventing a sensor from obtaining an accurate reading.

An enclosure or display cabinet for displaying heated objects (such as a food display module or container) using heat-sensitive lighting is disclosed herein. The heat-sensitive lighting may be, for example, an LED lighting unit. LED lighting is inefficient and tends to degrade or fail when operating at higher temperatures. However, LED lighting may be preferred as it is typically more energy efficient than other lighting options (such as incandescent bulbs). The lighting unit includes a thermally insulated space, shelf, or gap for housing the lighting and a system for reducing heat generated by the display or the lighting unit.

A display table for displaying perishable produce items comprises a base; a produce bed on which the perishable produce items are positioned; and an air flow system for providing air circulation and ventilation at the produce bed. The air flow system comprises a plurality of ducts under the produce bed; an air distribution box that evenly distributes the air through the ducts; and a plurality of fans that circulate the air from the ducts under the produce bed to a region above the produce bed. The display table further comprises a control device that controls a flow of the air via the fans to the produce bed according to a state of the perishable produce items on the produce bed; and a self-contained power panel that generates power for the fans, the air distribution box, and the control device, wherein the power panel includes a cell power electrical system.

A system of interchangeable, interconnectable, standardized components that individually, or as an assembly, display stick-mounted and stick-like food and non-food products in a vertical or substantially fashion. Examples of stick-mounted or stick-like objects include lollypops, corn dogs, chop sticks, pens, pencils, markers, and skewers. Other examples may include stick-like tools, such as knives, wrenches, ratchets, or screwdrivers. Still other examples may include stick-like kitchen implements, such as spoons, spatulas, forks, whisks, etc.

Aspects of the present invention disclose and describe embodiment containers for displaying, visualizing, and aroma sampling botanical materialssuch as tea, cannabis, and the like including a container body, lid, and lenswhich may have various shapes. In a preferred embodiment, lid is shaped to define a recessed area with scent openings permitting aroma sampling of a sample contained within. A removable plug is shaped to fit within the recessed area of the lid. The container body and lid, with removable plug fit within the lid, form an airtight chamber within. A botanical sample may be visualized through the lens.

Described is a fruit hanger with a hook for suspending a bunch of fruit or vegetables, such as bananas, above a surface to protect the produce from bruising and premature over-ripening. Versions of the fruit hanger also include a clip, for attaching to the stem of a single banana, or other piece of fruit or vegetable, after the remainder of the bunch has been consumed. Some versions of the fruit hanger may rest on a kitchen countertop, and other versions of the fruit hanger may be suspended beneath a kitchen cabinet or pantry shelf.

A tray for dispensing product containers, particularly yogurt containers, which vary widely in size and shape and frequently are stacked several high. The tray is of adjustable width and of extruded construction. The tray comprises two main components, one forming a bottom part and a high wall, the other forming a bottom part and a low wall. The high wall has a flanged track running lengthwise and the low wall has a T-shaped rail for reception in the flanged track of an adjacent tray. An array of trays are thus connected such that the high wall of one tray serves as a second high wall for an adjacent connected tray while allowing a tray to be pulled forward, supported by its neighbors, for restocking. A pusher and pull strip are provided in which an L-shaped pusher can be reversely oriented and thereby optimized for round or rectangular containers.
