Commercial Kitchen Design Services
More than an aesthetic, your commercial kitchen design drives your success. We put a premium on designing your restaurant with a kitchen layout, purpose-selected restaurant equipment and customer flow engineered for maximum throughput.
Why Avanti for Commercial Kitchen Design?
Leverage 18+ Years of Knowledge
We know a few things about restaurant design. We have years of experience growing quick-service restaurant chains. This has refined our ability to create efficient spaces within reasonable constraints that we leverage across all foodservice options.
What does this mean for you? No matter what type of restaurant you have, we’ll design it with speed and budget in mind.
Thoughtful Restaurant Designs
Turn an empty shell into a throughput powerhouse. In a business constrained by meal times and square footage, your commercial kitchen should be designed to serve the most customers in the least amount of time.
Craft your culinary creations in a kitchen designed for just that. We think through your menu and operations flow so we can plan where every piece of equipment, prep space, sink, and outlet goes—down to the square inch.
Construction-Ready
Plans
Our designs aren’t just theory. They’re ready to be put into practice to bring your vision to life. We’ll provide construction-ready plans you can hand right to your contractor, along with sets for regulatory submittals and anything else you need.
Not only will this streamline your construction process, but it’ll ensure your design plans work in practice—not just on paper.

The Avanti Design Experience
What sets us apart? Our design process digs into the details long before we ever put (figurative) pen to paper. We don’t do cookie-cutter designs. Over the last 18 years, we’ve developed a deep-dive concept study that guarantees a unique commercial kitchen design for your long-term success.
Here's how it works
1. The Pre-Work Stage
Discovery Meeting
Also known as the get-to-know-you stage. We’ll meet to discuss your culinary vision, brand and operational challenges.
Custom Proposal
Your project is unique. We’ll deliver a custom design and consultation proposal that meets the scope of work we discussed in the discovery meeting.
2. The Concept Stage
In-Market Observation
If you’re already in operation, we want to see you in action. From FOH to BOH, we’ll observe your average day to understand your unique challenges and conduct an efficiency study to see where we can improve.
Design & Layout Review
We’ll review your new space, take measurements using our 3D scanning technology and start planning your restaurant for maximum efficiency.
Also in this stage: Prototyping, programming and culinary review
3. The Design Stage
Schematic Design
Here’s where we’ll put all we learned from the first two stages to work. We’ll complete the schematics, including the programming for your kitchen layout.
Design Development
We’ll dive into the details, picking manufacturer specifications, nailing down your budget and rough order of magnitude (ROM). We’ll coordinate with the architects and project engineers to ensure your project goes smoothly from design to construction and beyond.
4. The Pre-Construction Stage
Construction Drawings
Once the design is complete, we’ll prepare all the plans you need to move the process forward. This includes build-ready construction plans and plans for health department submittals.
Construction Administration
The work doesn’t stop when the designs are done. We’re around to answer RFIs, meet with contractors, conduct site visits, conduct a walkthrough for the final punch and more.
We Use Industry-Leading Technology
