Designing a Commercial Kitchen

• Good service of course depends on hiring reliable
  staff but your kitchen staff can only work
  efficiently in a well-designed kitchen. In order
  to ensure that your kitchen is built to be as
  efficient as possible, below are some key
  elements to consider.

1. Your available space 

• This is one of the most important considerations
  for commercial kitchen design. The amount of
  space you have available will determine the size
  of the equipment youre able to purchase. When
  thinking about the available space, you should
  always take work flow and speed into account
  you dont want to sacrifice either so purchasing
  large equipment that will interfere will your
  staffs ability to work is never advisable.
• The amount of space in your kitchen will also
  determine how many customers youre able to
  serve. As a general rule you should allow five
  square feet of space in the kitchen for every
  customer.

2. Health safety

• Safety is another extremely important
  consideration. You should educate yourself about
  all health and safety requirements of running a
  commercial kitchen.
• Failure to do this could very easily lead to your
  restaurant being closed down or a liability case
  if one of your staff were to be injured as a
  result of the kitchen being unsafe to work in.

3. Energy efficiency

• Energy efficiency should never be an afterthought
  when designing a commercial kitchen. Making your
  kitchen as energy efficient as possible can save
  you a considerable amount on your energy bills,
  making it a vitally important thing to get right.
• In order to make your kitchen energy efficient,
  you should ensure that any refrigeration and
  cooking equipment is kept as far apart as
  possible without sacrificing too much on
  practicality.

4. Mobility of staff

• It can be very easy to focus too much on the
  actual equipment youre going to buy when
  designing a commercial kitchen and neglect the
  needs of your staff. This is never a good idea
  since your staff are vital to the kitchen running
  smoothly.
• When designing your kitchen, you should ensure
  that theres plenty of space for your staff to
  move around the kitchen and past each other. This
  will go a long way to reducing any accidents and
  make your kitchen much more efficient, not to
  mention pleasant to work in.

5. Flexibility

• Being able to stay successful in the food
  industry often relies on being able to change and
  adapt to the demand of customers. This is why
  its so important to keep flexibility in mind
  when designing a commercial kitchen. If you
  decide to completely overhaul the menu, then this
  will often mean having to change certain pieces
  of equipment as well as the placement of the
  equipment. In such situations, getting in touch
  with professional modular kitchen manufacturers
  will be the right thing to do.
• Another key aspect to keeping your kitchen
  flexible is making sure that pieces of equipment
  can be easily moved when they need to be cleaned.
