Commercial Kitchen Design Services & Foodservice Consulting

A comprehensive approach to foodservice design, supporting your project from initial concept to final inspection

Innovating Food Service. Reliable Results.

Foodesign Associates is a recognized foodservice design agency offering facility design, concept development, and operations consulting. With decades of experience and over 4,500 projects, we are a trusted partner to the architectural community.

Design and Planning

We begin by translating your culinary concepts and operational needs into efficient spatial layouts. Our commercial kitchen layout design process is backed by 50 years of experience across 4,500+ projects. Unlike firms that also sell equipment, our layouts are optimized for your operational success, not for maximizing equipment sales. We create efficient restaurant kitchen layouts that architects can confidently integrate into their designs, balancing creative vision with operational feasibility and ensuring the final design maximizes workflow, efficiency, and return on investment.

Technical Documentation

Clarity and precision are critical. Our restaurant kitchen design floor plans and specifications are recognized as industry-leading. We deliver comprehensive and flawless technical documentation using Revit and AutoCAD. This includes detailed floor plans, equipment schedules, and precise specifications for all foodservice equipment. Our meticulous documentation serves as an error-free roadmap for procurement and construction, reducing risk and preventing costly changes during the build phase. This level of precision is why architects choose us over other commercial kitchen design companies: our documentation prevents costly change orders and keeps projects on schedule.

Engineering Coordination

Successful integration with building systems is essential for any commercial kitchen design. As experienced foodservice design consultants, we provide detailed Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) plans, coordinating all foodservice utility requirements with the architectural and engineering teams. This proactive approach ensures seamless integration, prevents system conflicts, and guarantees compliance with all relevant codes and standards, reducing risk for architects and protecting the project timeline..

Project Support & QA

Our commitment to your project extends through the construction phase. We manage the bid and build process, providing support and oversight to ensure the final installation perfectly matches the approved design. Unlike commercial kitchen contractors who may prioritize speed over accuracy, our team conducts thorough site inspections and quality assurance checks through commercial kitchen installation and beyond, confirming that every detail is executed to our exacting standards and protecting the integrity of your investment.

What our Clients Say

“I have worked with a number of commercial kitchen design companies across the country, and the team at Food Design Associates has been my best experience to date. The team is very knowledgeable, but where they really stand out is with their approach. They are strong communicators, listening to our concerns and needs and talking through best solutions in a truly collaborative style. This style makes all the difference on a commercial kitchen project which involves a wide range of specialists with competing priorities.”

“Foodesign is our go-to Kitchen consultant for all projects requiring a Commercial Kitchen. They have become a trusted partner by providing our clients with functional, well-thought-out solutions by intently listening to their needs and delivering clear, concise drawings and specifications. Having a consultant that listens, communicates clearly, and performs on time and within budget is not always easy to find, but Foodesign does just that."

“I have been working with John Barja and the Foodesign team for nearly 20 years now. They are my go-to professional for anything related to kitchen and laundry for our state-of-the-art justice facilities. We value our clients and would only use the best option out there! Thanks for all your valuable expertise in planning and design throughout the years.”

"Foodesign Associates always provides our team with a level of service and knowledge that exceeds our expectations. Whether it is showing us the latest technologies that help improve the overall design or working directly with the health department reviewers to expedite schedule, working with their team has always provided the best solutions to our project needs. "

The Mezcal project turned out great, particularly with the Foodeisgn team’s help to not only plan the kitchen, but also to deliver their branding and web design. The website looks incredible and provides that extra level of professional and expertise that I think will help the restaurant stand out. Thanks again for your team’s role in what was a challenging project at times. I look forward to hopefully working together again in the future.
