The kitchen is the heart of every restaurant. A well-maintained,
functional kitchen is key to the success of your F&B business. Here’s a guide to designing
and maintaining your kitchen.
UNDERSTANDING THE SPACE

Analyzing the available space is the first step towards designing a kitchen. Your staff must move around comfortably and carry out their duties without space struggle and congestion. This will save time and increase efficiency. The size of the kitchen is also crucial. The bigger your restaurant, the more spacious and efficient your kitchen should be. Depending on the variety of dishes you serve, you will have to arrange the necessary facilities.

Spatial planning and structure decide the functionality of your kitchen. There should be enough space for food preparation, storage, staff movement, waste disposal, and other necessities.

Equipment

All the necessary equipment should be stocked and arranged well. Efficient menu engineering will give you a clear
picture of the dishes that will be served. This is necessary to decide the type of equipment you need to stock. Energy-efficient
tools can enhance your profit.

SAFETY RULES AND HYGIENE

Meeting food safety standards is fundamental to running a restaurant. Kitchen premises and equipment must adhere to the safety standards given by the government.
