Before you start designing your kitchen there is a lot of research to be done. The best place to start is at the health department of your local council to find out all there is to know about health and safety. There might be rules and regulations that you were simply not aware of and you can then take them into consideration before you design a layout. If you have no idea of what kind of restaurant you want to run, you can start by designing some menus. You can always find help on the internet to get some inspiration. You will soon realise what you want to serve and then plan your kitchen equipment around this. Most restaurants have a counter, perhaps with a bar behind it, from where all the drinks are being served. This is also the place where completed plates of food are being placed for onward transmission by the waiting staff. If at all possible, if there is room, two entrances to the kitchen area should be created, so that food plates from the cooking area and the empty plates on their way to the dishwashing area do not have to go through the same door. When all this has been done, it is time to draw up a business plan if you need to borrow funds. If you do not, you must certainly have a budget of how much you want to spend. With all this information to hand, it is time to contact one of the many restaurant kitchen design companies that are advertised on the internet. It is best if you can find one that has a shop somewhere in the high street to where you can go and have a look at materials. It is easier to come face to face with the professionals so that you can ask any questions you have. Doing things via email is not so satisfactory. These designers will be able to choose with you the equipment and flooring your budget will allow. They are also the professionals that will sit down with you and help you to draw up a floor plan. You will be able to incorporate your own ideas, together with the suggestions put to you by the company. Once you have agreed on the price, the designers will take over from you and you can sit back and relax. They will come and measure your floor space and organise craftsmen and gas and electricity fitters and plumbers. They will lay the floors and make sure that your kitchen is easily kept clean. New machinery will always look nice and gleaming and, of course, they invariably will come with a warranty, so for the first few years your equipment should give you trouble free service. After the warranty period has elapsed, then you can sign up for a maintenance contract, or if you can afford it, a preventative maintenance contract. This ensures that your equipment will not break down at some awkward moment.
