Design Services

The Ckitchen.com projects division provides customers with professional food service consulting and kitchen design services. The return on this modest investment can save you an estimated $30,000 (see Food Service Consulting & Design Partial Benefits Analysis below) . Since most health departments require a design plan, the most cost effective route to take is having Ckitchen's projects division produce food service equipment plans for you. The Health Department is adamant about following sanitary and health codes. If the plan that is submitted does not meet these stringent codes, the facility will not be allowed to operate. After considering your space, menu and budget, your food service consultant will assist you in making the right decisions regarding product selection. He will submit a well thought out list of kitchen & restaurant equipment that will be the most cost effective for your needs. He will also develop a design that will consider work flow, operational and energy efficiencies. The estimated savings for this element alone usually exceeds 15% of the final project. Energy and employee efficiencies are especially important for institutional clients. A CKitchen.com Commercial kitchen design for your restaurant or bar also helps you maximize space for a more relaxed seating and work environment. Clients have noted that this factor of their business has boosted their operations profitability. Instead of gutting out walls, inserting extra columns or running new electric, plumbing and drain lines, our kitchen design team will brainstorm to help you work with what you have and reduce the overall cost of construction. Your professional food service equipment plans include a full compliment of electrical, plumbing and kitchen ventilation plans (see below) that will allow you to get accurate and competitive quotes from a contractor and the various trades.
