It is amazing how much thought and consideration goes into restaurant design. When you realize how much detail goes into design you realize that this profession is more of an art. It seems straight forward on how to design a restaurant. However, there is a science and formula for each style and type of restaurant that has proven to make a difference in the success level of an eatery.
There is much more entailed in the design than the kitchen, but that is a fabulous place to start. The type of food you serve can dictate the kind of kitchen you need. However, even within a genre there are galley kitchens, open kitchens and chef table kitchens.
The design of your kitchen should flow with the design of the front of the house. Not only must you consider the dinning area, but you also must consider the service staff area, bar, and reception. It is a daunting task best left to professionals.
