Architectural Culinary Design
A hotel kitchen is a manufacturing plant for luxury experiences. If the floorplan forces a sous-chef to take three extra steps to reach the combi-oven, those seconds compound into hours over a year. #The Linear Production Model
Modern banquet kitchens are moving toward linear production models. Ingredients flow in a straight line from cold prep, to hot line, to staging, to service. This minimizes cross-traffic and reduces accidents. #Equipment as Architecture
We advocate for custom stainless fabrication to fill dead spaces. A pass-through that perfectly fits between the hot line and the expeditor station is worth its weight in gold during a 500-pax service.Technical FAQ
