Mod-U-Serve

The right height makes a difference. On both sides of the counter.

Kids come in all shapes and sizes. So do the people serving them. That’s why Mod-U-Serve builds flexibility into the serving line. Counter and tray slide heights can be customized to work better for smaller students and meet ADA requirements, while the worker side can be set at a comfortable height for the people who spend all day behind the line.

And you’re not limited to a straight counter. We can customize the heights on modular, continuous, and curved counters too.

Build it around the people using it. That’s how it should be.

Every Mod-U-Serve refrigerated unit is built with a 100% remote slide-out refrigeration skid, making service and maintenance faster and easier. No crawling inside a cabinet or fighting to reach components.

We've also built in an accordion-style section of copper tubing, so the refrigeration package can slide out without disconnecting the refrigeration lines.

Other features that make life easier:

✅ 20" wide access door with an easy-to-reach digital thermostat
✅ Sound-deadening, vibration-isolating pads on every refrigeration skid
✅ Coming soon as standard: a magnetic, washable coil pre-filter to help keep coils cleaner and simplify routine maintenance

It's the kind of engineering you may never notice until it's time for service. Then you'll be glad it's there.

When we started Mod-U-Serve back in 1993, we had a simple goal: build quality equipment, treat customers right, and stand behind everything we make. More than 30 years later, we're still doing business the same way.

Being family owned isn't just about who's in the office. It's about taking pride in every serving line, ventilation hood, and milk cooler that leaves our shop. It's about listening to customers, solving problems, and building equipment that's made to last.

Three decades later, the next generation is helping lead the way, carrying forward the same values that Mod-U-Serve was built on in 1993.

Thank you to every customer, dealer, consultant, and partner who's been part of our story. From our family to yours, thank you for being part of the Mod-U-Serve story.

Our sneeze guards are built different.
While many manufacturers source their sneeze guards from someone else, every Mod-U-Serve sneeze guard is designed and built in-house to meet the same standards as the serving line beneath it.

Whether you need a single- or double-tier configuration, heated or refrigerated shelves, convertible options, or a custom length built in 1/16-inch increments, we design it to fit your project.

But performance isn't just about looks. Our sneeze guards are engineered to be incredibly strong while remaining easy to remove and reinstall. No cutting. No grinding. No welding. Just smarter serviceability that saves time when maintenance is needed.

From floating glass shelves to stainless steel construction and custom solutions, every detail is designed with durability, flexibility, and long-term performance in mind.

When a serving line is built right, people notice. At Atkins Middle School in Lubbock ISD, new Mod-U-Serve serving lines helped improve traffic flow, speed up service, and even led to a 10% increase in lunch participation.

Foodservice Equipment Reports took a closer look at the project and what made it work.

Waterless wells are making a comeback, and for good reason. While they typically cost more upfront than traditional options, they can reduce installation costs by eliminating the need for digging a trench and adding a new water and drain line. They also require less maintenance and reduce humidity in the serving area, preventing food from growing soggy.

For many schools, that means lower operating costs and fewer headaches over the life of the equipment.

The best solution always depends on your operation, but waterless wells are worth considering when you're planning your next serving line.

Progress update!
The stainless steel framework we previously shared now has the exterior skin and undershelving installed, and the counters have been flipped over for the next phase: installing the tops and equipment.

It's always exciting to see a project come together as every stage reflects the craftsmanship behind the finished product.

Proud to be partnering with Foodservice Design Professionals on this project.

Happy Fourth of July from all of us at Mod-U-Serve!

As America celebrates 250 years, we're proud to be part of a tradition of building things that last. Here's to the people who show up every day, put in the work, and keep our schools, businesses, and communities moving.

Have a safe and enjoyable Independence Day!
