Abstract: The semi-automatic collapsible chafer system is a multi-angle framework with a plurality of locking joints arranged at the corners thereof and a plurality of interlocking rail pole assemblies. The frame is designed with at least one well to accommodate one or more industry standard chafing pans with a unique dual canned heat compartment for each well. The semi-automatic collapsible chafer system quickly opens to be used as a complete food service station then quickly retracts for easy storage and mobility. The complete assembly utilizes these joints to collapse horizontally and vertically in the X, Y, and Z axis. The present invention is the only fully collapsible/erectable chafer with heater supports and built in safety features.
