What the MROS-67P Does
A pizza prep table has three working zones: the topping rail, the cutting board and the cabinet below. None of them is a good place for the things a make line also needs within reach: pizza boxes, shakers, ladles and spoodles, portion cups, ticket rails, a scale, a pizza cutter and gloves. Without an overshelf those items end up on the board, which is the one surface the maker cannot afford to lose.
The MROS-67P puts two stainless shelves directly above the rail of the 67" MPF8202GR, so the line's tools and supplies sit within arm's reach without taking a square inch of board. It is the same length as the table, sized to its mounting points, and built from the same stainless steel family as the table.
Is It the Right Overshelf?
Each Atosa MROS overshelf matches one table width. The MROS-67P is sized for the 67" MPF8202GR; order the size that matches your table width.
Check height before ordering. At its 47-1/5" assembled height on top of the table, the overshelf has to clear anything overhead: wall cabinets, a hood edge, a pass-through window or a menu board. Measure from the top of the table to the lowest obstruction above it.
Setting Up a 67" Line with the Overshelf
The 67" table is often run by one fast maker keeping two pies moving, or as a two-step line with one person saucing and one topping. In both setups, the overshelf works best when everything on it has a fixed spot, so nobody hunts for a tool during a rush.
Bottom shelf: what you reach for on every pie
- Sauce ladles or spoodles and portion tools
- Shakers: oregano, red pepper, parmesan, garlic
- Gloves and a small stack of portion cups
- A digital scale if you portion cheese and toppings by weight
Top shelf: supplies and lighter stock
- Flat pizza boxes for the next wave of orders
- Spare portion cups and lids
- Labels, markers and a timer
Ticket rail and order flow
Many shops mount a ticket rail or screen at overshelf height so the maker reads the next order without turning around. On a two-step line, put it at the dough end so the first person starts the right pie and the second person sees it coming down the board.
What not to put on it
- Anything that drips. Keep sauce bottles, oil and wet towels off the shelves so nothing runs down onto open toppings.
- Raw meat or unwrapped food. The overshelf sits over open, ready-to-top pans.
- Cases of product. The shelf is rated at 200 lb, but it is a working shelf, not storage racking. Keep weight spread out and keep heavy items on the lower shelf.
- Hot items straight from the oven, such as pans or peels, which can warm the rail below.
Topping Displays and Customer-Facing Lines
Fast-casual and build-your-own concepts often face the 67" table toward the customer so they can watch their pie being built. The topping rail becomes part of the menu, and the overshelf becomes part of the display.
Making the line look good
- Keep pans full and neat. Fill to the rim, not mounded over it, and swap a pan when it gets low rather than leaving a half-empty pan in view.
- Arrange by color and build order. Alternating reds, greens and whites reads well from across the counter, as long as the high-volume items stay at the center of the maker's reach.
- Use the overshelf for signage. A short topping list or price card at shelf level tells the customer what is in each pan.
- Keep the board clean. A clean board between pies is the most visible sign of a clean kitchen.
Sneeze guards are separate
The MROS-67P is a storage overshelf, not a food shield. If customers can reach or lean over the open pans, most health codes require a sneeze guard between the customer and the food. Plan the food shield for your counter separately, and check your local code for its required height and coverage.
Upselling from the line
A visible line sells. Premium toppings such as fresh mozzarella, specialty meats or seasonal vegetables in a pan right in front of the customer are easier to add to an order than items listed on a menu board. Keep those pans at the customer-facing end where they are easy to see.
Assembly and Installation
The MROS-67P ships unassembled, which keeps the box to 40 lb. Atosa includes an Allen wrench and set screws.
- Unpack and check that both shelves, the support pipes and the hardware are in the box.
- Choose the shelf height before tightening. The assembly adjusts to three heights. The right one puts the bottom shelf high enough to clear the maker's head when leaning over the rail and low enough to reach without stretching.
- Fit the support pipes and shelves to the table as shown in the instructions and tighten the set screws evenly.
- Check that both shelves are level and secure before loading anything on them.
- Recheck the set screws after the first few weeks of service. Vibration from a busy line can loosen hardware over time.
Cleaning and Care
- Wipe both shelves daily with mild detergent and warm water, rinse and dry. Flour and grease settle on overshelves quickly on a pizza line.
- Sanitize as your local code requires for surfaces above open food.
- Use soft cloths or non-scratch pads. No steel wool or wire brushes, which leave scratches and iron particles that can rust.
- Avoid chlorine bleach and chloride cleaners, which can cause pitting and rust spots on stainless steel. This matters especially on type 430 stainless.
- Wipe with the grain of the steel for a clean finish.
- Check the set screws and support pipes periodically.
Why Sound-Deadened Shelves Matter
Atosa sound-deadens both the top and bottom shelves. On a busy line, tools, ladles and shakers get set down hard hundreds of times a night. Sound-deadening reduces the ring and vibration of thin stainless shelving, which makes an open kitchen quieter for both staff and customers.
