CREATE YOUR DREAM KITCHEN

WITH KEC | DESIGN

We’ve seen the best food come out of the smallest of kitchens and award winning designs with expensive equipment from an operation that can’t generate a quality product (or a profit).  Why?  We think it’s about aligning goals with outcomes. At KECdesign, we work hard on the front end of the design process to really dig into what you want to do and help create efficiencies in your space so you can execute it.

WE HUMANIZE DESIGN

Get the Most out of the Space

We focus on creating layouts that enhance efficiency, allowing your staff to work in concert with one another instead of against each other.  It’s not how big or expensive the kitchen is, it’s how well it works for what you need.  It’s the art and science of design.

We Expect the Unexpected

Some design ideas are well conceived, but building constraints, mechanical plans or unforseen code restrictions wreak havoc with the initial idea. And sometimes… owners change their minds.  Rarely is the first design the last, and we recognize that. We work until it’s right and we do everything we can to alert you to potential pitfalls so you can avoid costly mistakes along the way.

See it Like an Owner

We’re a team of foodies, whether it’s a mom and pop operation or fine dining experience. Food and beverages should be great, prepared well, and served with the desired impact to meet your markets’ demands. It may sound cliche, but we really are passionate about creating optimally designed kitchens, simplifying your build-out process, and containing costs so you can achieve your goals more quickly. You won’t get that investment from your online restaurant supply superstore.

TAILORED TO YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS

Every establishment is unique, and our approach reflects that. We take the time to understand the specific type, style, and speed of your operation, ensuring that our designs are perfectly tailored to your needs. Whether you run a high-end restaurant, a fast-paced bar, or a community-focused kitchen or a neighborhood coffee shop or food truck, we create solutions that match your vision and operational requirements.

OUR DESIGN PROCESS

A successful kitchen design is a collaborative process. Our step-by-step approach ensures that you are involved and informed at every stage, resulting in a design that complies with local codes and exceeds your expectations.

number-1
Schedule a Design Consultation

The process begins with a consultation in a series of conversations to  discuss your vision, needs, and goals. This initial step allows us to gather crucial information about your establishment and understand your specific drivers of success.

number-2
Receive a Preliminary/Draft Layout

Based on the consultation, we make a recommendation that specifies the exact equipment that you need. Here we may agree to supplement architectural drawings, engage in a Design Contract or offer a Reimbursable Design Agreement.  The outcome depends on your needs.

number-3(1)
Project Execution

After outcomes of the working relationship are defined, our team is tasked with researching and specifying equipment for your project and evaluating alternatives based on your goals and budget.

LET'S CREATE SOMETHING GREAT TOGETHER

Every commercial kitchen is a little different, but the foundations of success don’t change. We know what these are and have seen thousands of adaptations. Bottom line is you deserve a well-conceived design that aligns with your goals, and we know how to get there. Contact us today to schedule a design consultation and take the first step.
