What we review with your team

Menu, production and peak service

Share the dishes prepared, expected covers or daily output, production schedule and service format. A restaurant pass, hotel breakfast operation and catering dispatch area have different equipment and movement needs. Include preparation that will be done in advance and equipment you intend to retain.

Layout and the movement of food

Review receiving, storage, preparation, cooking, service and warewashing as a connected workflow. Mark staff routes, doors, existing fixed services and access for deliveries and maintenance. This helps the equipment list fit the available space rather than becoming a collection of unrelated appliances.

Equipment dimensions and specifications

Compare usable capacity, loading arrangements, accessories and exact model dimensions. Discuss power, water, drainage and ventilation information with the project contractors. Confirm the selected equipment version and the responsibilities for site connections before procurement.

From the first brief to an agreed project scope

1. Send the brief: share the floor plan, location, menu, expected capacity and opening or refurbishment target.
2. Review layout and equipment needs: discuss workflow, equipment positioning and the specifications needed for your operation.
3. Confirm the quotation: agree equipment models, accessories, supply scope, installation coordination and commissioning support as applicable.
4. Coordinate handover: define operational checks, product guidance and after-sales requirements within the agreed scope.

Kitchen design and planning questions

Can we start if we already have equipment?

Yes. Include the models, dimensions and condition of equipment you plan to retain. The layout and new equipment requirements can then be discussed around the existing operation.

Do you also supply and install the selected equipment?

Excel Kitchen provides equipment sourcing and supply, installation and commissioning support. Confirm which services, accessories and contractor coordination are included in the quotation for your project.

Is there a fixed kitchen design or project price?

The quotation depends on the agreed planning and equipment scope, site requirements and services required. Share your brief so the team can discuss the requirements before quoting.
