Unlock Profits with Smart Commercial Kitchen Design

An inefficient restaurant kitchen design can be a nightmare for your food service business. The challenge lies in creating a space that ensures smooth operations, minimizes wasted resources, and maximizes productivity.


Commercial kitchen layout and design can be a daunting task. Inefficient designs lead to higher operating costs, food safety concerns, and inconsistent service quality. Inadequate workflows and poorly designed kitchen spaces result in longer preparation times, slower service, and frustrated staff.


Let us be your partner. With over two decades of experience, we truly comprehend your unique needs, integrate front- and back-of-house design effectively, and can navigate the complexities of project management.

"Working with Commercial Kitchen Design & Equipment Co has been a game-changer for us. Their attention to detail in designing an efficient kitchen layout completely transformed our workflow.

“Partnering with Commercial Kitchen Design & Equipment Co was like having a trusted advisor every step of the way when we opened our restaurant in Fort Worth. From initial design to equipment installation, they handled it all. Their  consulting not only saved us time but also reduced stress during the renovation.

It's clear that their commitment to a streamlined process ensures that their clients can focus on their business, knowing the kitchen (the heart of their operation) is in good hands."

Their in-depth knowledge of health and safety regulations gave us peace of mind. We no longer worry about compliance, and that's been a relief. We know our kitchen meets every standard. This has improved our reputation and eliminated the risk of fines, which has been a significant weight off our shoulders.”

  • What sets you apart from an equipment supply store with free design services?

    1. Customized Solutions: We tailor our designs to your specific needs and goals, ensuring that your kitchen is optimized for your unique operation. Equipment supply stores offer products, but we offer comprehensive solutions.


    2. Efficiency and Workflow: Our expertise in kitchen design ensures that your space is not just well-equipped but also efficiently organized to enhance workflow. Equipment stores primarily focus on product sales, not layout and functionality.


    3. Cost-Efficiency: We don't just sell equipment; we help you select the right equipment that aligns with your budget and long-term cost savings. We consider the overall financial implications of each piece in the context of your kitchen's efficiency.


    4. Regulatory Compliance: We have in-depth knowledge of health and safety regulations, ensuring your kitchen complies with all industry standards. An equipment supply store may not provide the same level of expertise in this area.


    5. End-to-End Service: We guide you through every step of the process, from design to installation, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience. We don’t just order equipment and await its arrival. We are on site, meeting with your architect, general contractor, electrician, and plumber.
