WHY IT MATTERS
A kitchen layout is a business decision.
The right design reduces labor, speeds ticket times, simplifies equipment maintenance, and passes inspection the first time. The wrong one costs you every shift.
Our design team doesn't work from templates. Every layout starts with your menu, your volume, your staffing model, and your site conditions. We work directly with your architects and engineers to ensure MEP rough-ins, hood placement, and code compliance are resolved in the drawing — not on the job site
OUR PROCESS
From first conversation to final spec.
A structured, four-phase process that keeps your project on track and your contractors in the loop.
01
Discovery & Scope
We learn your concept, review your site plans, and define the project scope — menu, volume targets, staffing, budget, and any constraints from the building or landlord. Virtual and in-person consultations available.
Site review - Scope document- Budget alignment
03
Equipment Specification
Every piece of equipment is selected and specified to match the layout — model numbers, utility requirements, dimensions, and pricing. Our equipment team sources from established manufacturer relationships for competitive pricing.
Equipment schedule - Spec sheets - Pricing package
02
Schematic Layout
Using Autodesk CAD, we produce an initial kitchen layout that maps equipment zones, workflow paths, and service adjacencies. We present options and iterate until the layout fits your operation.

04
MEP Coordination & Permit Support
We produce mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-in drawings and coordinate directly with your engineers and general contractor to ensure the design package is permit-ready and buildable.
