The kitchen is the most important area in a restaurant. It is in this room where the success of your business stems from since it is here where the dishes you offer are prepared. It is therefore crucial to design the perfect space for it so that your chef and staff can do the best job they can. Get a flooring that is comfortable for your employees to stand on and move around in for long hours. Also make sure that it is easily washable and sanitized. Choose bright lighting that can illuminate the entire room, including your walk-in freezers. Install an efficient ventilation system and put up hood fans over your fryers and stoves.

To protect the place from any accidental fires, place extinguishers within convenient reach of the different work stations. Furthermore, invest in a sprinkler system. Build a big pantry for your ingredients and other dry goods and get energy efficient coolers to store perishable items. Make sure that the wash areas with sinks and dishwashers are in a separate section of the room. Ensure that there are at least three cooking stations so that your kitchen staff can handle large or numerous orders. Get flat-top and gas-fired stoves, as well as deep fryers, convection ovens, and microwaves. Place the stainless steel counters used by employees at a good distance from one another so that your staff can prepare food without bumping into each other. Make sure that these counters have shelves under them for the convenient storage of pots and utensils. Finally, add a room where you can store dirty towels and linens before taking them to the laundry. You might also want to build a locker room for your staff.
