Whether you’re new to the foodservice industry or have opened a number of restaurants, you know your restaurant kitchen layout is crucial. How you organize that space will have a lot to do with the efficiency and success of your restaurant. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Deciding on the right commercial kitchen layout is key.
There is basic equipment that most restaurant kitchens will need, including:
• Ranges
• Ovens
• Food Processors
• Mixers
• Refrigerators
• Freezers
• Slicers
Working with a commercial kitchen design-build expert like TME, your restaurant concept is completely fleshed out to optimize your layout. The experts dive into each aspect of your space, from the prep and service areas to the dish wash and storage areas, to determine the most efficient layout. From there, the aforementioned equipment is ordered, along with any special pieces necessary to create your menu dishes.
But you’ll also need shelving, sinks, storage units and food preparation counters. While equipment is relatively standard, with different options offered in a variety of sizes and with many features to choose from, there are components of your restaurant kitchen that you can — and should — customize.
Through the use of CAD/CAM technology, custom stainless-steel products are created to exact specifications. Commercial kitchen products like counters, cabinets, wall panels and shelving are made to specifically fit within your layout and around standard equipment. There is no space wasted when you go with custom stainless-steel kitchen components.
