Commercial Kitchen Design & Foodservice Consulting
We design, build, and launch commercial kitchens and food spaces for workplaces, nonprofits, and food production facilities of all sizes. We collaborate with you to create a comprehensive food program that celebrates your unique culture.
THE FUTURE IS NOWAre you ready to go all-electric?
More than 50 California cities have passed rules that restrict — and in many cases ban — natural gas hookups in new businesses. We've designed some of the first all-electric commercial kitchens in the Bay Area. Contact us to discuss your project and get ahead of this movement.

What Smart Design Means to Us
The future of food
We study and shape the market, know food and beverage trends and future directions, and design for the future. As cities in California and around the country enact restrictions on natural gas in an effort to reduce emissions and fight climate change, we are experts in all-electric kitchen design and operations.
flexible, efficient & CUSTOM spaces
Custom concept, layout and design solutions that allow you to easily change and grow, which means less capital outlay over time.
happiness
Designing for joyful spaces that put people first, with features like open kitchens and natural lighting, honors the humanity in your operating team, optimizing for inclusiveness and ensuring better retention.
sustainability
Not just minimizing food waste and single-serve packaging to us (although those things too!), we take a holistic approach to sustainability that includes the environment, people and finances -- everything your program and the planet need to be successful for years to come.
DESIGN SERVICES
Commercial Kitchen Design-Build & Remodel
We offer comprehensive design-build services, for catering kitchens and servery spaces to full-onsite all-electric and conventional commercial kitchens. Architectural drawings, equipment specification and permitting services are included. We can even represent you on-site during construction.
Food Program Design
We can plan and customize every detail of your food program, accounting for growth and scale over time. We facilitate vision and values workshops, stakeholder research and discovery to understand your goals and develop your program concept, followed by detailed staffing and financial modeling.
Operations & Launch Planning
Our work goes beyond the initial design into detailed planning that gets your food program off the ground and thriving. We can help you select vendors, develop internal and external community engagement strategies, implement new operational systems and tools, secure permits, perform training sessions and provide ongoing guidance for food teams and leadership.
Financial Modeling
We partner with your finance team members to develop a thorough framework based on our combined years of food service experience. Our modeling services research and clarify all the assumptions and costs associated with your food program, and lay the foundation for communication and decision making, building confidence and generating buy-in for your team of stakeholders.
Real Estate Search
We start by understanding your vision for offerings, production and growth, using that to document the vitals for your kitchen search. Then using our extensive network, we research and surface spaces to lease or purchase that will work for you, providing representation and guidance throughout the search process.
