Why Chefline for Commercial Kitchen Design?

Our designs aren’t just theory. They’re ready to be put into practice to bring your vision to life. We’ll provide construction-ready plans you can hand right to your contractor, along with sets for regulatory submittals and anything else you need.

The Chefline Design Experience

What sets us apart? Our design process digs into the details long before we ever put (figurative) pen to paper. We don’t do cookie-cutter designs. Over the last 18 years, we’ve developed a deep-dive concept study that guarantees a unique commercial kitchen design for your long-term success.

Here's how it works

1. The Pre-Work Stage

Discovery Meeting

Also known as the get-to-know-you stage. We’ll meet to discuss your culinary vision, brand and operational challenges.

Custom Proposal

Your project is unique. We’ll deliver a custom design and consultation proposal that meets the scope of work we discussed in the discovery meeting.

2. The Concept Stage

In-Market Observation

If you’re already in operation, we want to see you in action. From FOH to BOH, we’ll observe your average day to understand your unique challenges and conduct an efficiency study to see where we can improve.

Design & Layout Review

We’ll review your new space, take measurements and start planning your restaurant for maximum efficiency.
Also in this stage: Prototyping, programming and culinary review

3. The Design Stage

Schematic Design

Here’s where we’ll put all we learned from the first two stages to work. We’ll complete the schematics, including the programming for your kitchen layout.

Design Development

We’ll dive into the details, picking manufacturer specifications, nailing down your budget and rough order of magnitude (ROM). We’ll coordinate with the architects and project engineers to ensure your project goes smoothly from design to construction and beyond.

4. The Pre-Construction Stage

Construction Drawings

Once the design is complete, we’ll prepare all the plans you need to move the process forward. This includes build-ready construction plans and plans for health department submittals.

Construction Administration

The work doesn’t stop when the designs are done. We’re around to answer RFIs, meet with contractors, conduct site visits, conduct a walkthrough for the final punch and more.

WE USE INDUSTRY-LEADING TECHNOLOGY

Open your doors quickly with construction-ready designs

Designing your commercial kitchen is more than paint colors and floor tile. At Chefline, we connect your restaurant design with every other part of the planning process.

What does this mean for you? You’ll get designs that ensure kitchen and FOH efficiency, factor in regulatory requirements, and are ready to hand over to your construction team.
