Questions and Answers

We support you from the initial idea through concept development to completed turnkey execution. This includes operational needs assessment, CAD layout design, 3D visualizations, selection of commercial equipment, and coordination with architects, clients, and authorities.

Our solutions are tailored – whether hotel kitchens, staff cafeterias, hospitals, or restaurants. We plan efficient, energy-optimized, and practical workflows for operations of any scale.

Yes. We rigorously incorporate all relevant hygiene regulations, workplace safety directives, and fire protection codes, ensuring your kitchen is not only highly functional but also completely legally compliant.

Of course. We analyze existing kitchens, evaluate capacity utilization, and develop concepts for remodeling, expansion, or modernization – always focused on sustainability, ergonomics, and energy efficiency.

Duration and costs depend heavily on the project scope. Thanks to our extensive experience, however, you receive a transparent cost overview and realistic schedule right from the start.

Custom-Tailored Kitchen Planning

Our Planning Process

Step 1: Analysis & Requirements Planning

Our planning always starts with a comprehensive operational assessment. Together with you, we determine:

  • How many guests need to be served daily
  • Which dining concepts (restaurants, bars, lounges) are planned
  • What culinary profile and menu offerings are intended
  • How much space is required for cooking, storage, and preparation areas

This results in a practical concepttailored precisely to your individual operational requirements.

Step 2: Optimizations & Adaptations

Not every project is a new build – frequently, optimizations of existing kitchens are required.
Example: A central kitchen originally designed as a full-prep production facility had to be restructured because more pre-prepared products were being delivered.
The consequence: reconfiguring cooking stations, altering storage capacities, and restructuring staff deployment.

The constant objective: Deploying resources efficiently – staff, space, and budget.

Step 3: Integration into the Building Structure

Frequently, the building footprint is already fixed. Our task: fitting the kitchen in flawlessly.
Example: A hotel project in Moscow for the FIFA World Cup. Rooms, bars, and restaurants were clearly defined – we developed the optimal spatial layout of kitchens and back-of-house areas while upholding the highest hygiene standards.

Step 4: Detail Planning with Architects

Architects draft building plans – but often the commercial kitchen remains a blind spot. This is where we step in:

  • We test specifications against practical reality & operational feasibility
  • We adapt space planning before costly design errors occur
  • We eliminate unnecessary change orders and provide complete planning certainty

Clients, architects, and operators benefit equally.

Step 5: Hygiene & International Standards

Strict hygiene standards are our daily business. We plan according to HACCP and identify potential vulnerabilities right in the planning phase – e.g. in cook-chill pathways or delivery routes.

On international projects, we also account for country-specific regulations and collaborate with experienced local partners.

Step 6: Special Projects & Innovations

Certain projects require exceptional solutions:
For the Volkswagen manufacturing plant in Puebla (Mexico) , we engineered a major staff dining facility serving 2,500 employees in just 30 minutes – under earthquake-resistant construction parameters.
Our solution: custom-engineered tray-conveyor serving lines and precise calculations harmonizing workflows and staffing with absolute accuracy.
