It's impossible to overemphasize the importance of appliance selection and its integration into the overall scheme of restaurant kitchen design. We addressed guidelines for picking commercial ovens in other pages dealing with interior restaurant design. For this piece of equipment, also consider different types of ovens, such as a fast-working convection oven or a cook and hold model for high volume kitchens. For pizzerias, a pizza oven is probably a must, but for multipurpose cooking that includes pizzas, perhaps a conveyor oven would fill the bill. Whatever your choice, work closely with your equipment vendor and/or designer to assure that the restaurant layout and design allows for some flexibility with the placement and functionality of the appliances. Some of the same considerations will need to be made in the selection of a commercial freezer(s). Most interior restaurant design will incorporate one or more spaces for chest-type and/or upright freezers. Selection of these appliances will be determined by several factors: price, budget, unit size, floor space, energy costs and personal preference.

In many cases, a business owner is either not required to have an architect develop a floor plan for restaurant design, or prefers not to go through the expense of getting one. Thankfully, The Perfect Fit fills that gap by making available its restaurant layout and design services as part of an equipment or service package.

La Bocca Gelateria (South Beach, CA), Aroma's Bakery (Bartlesville, OK), Francesco's Gelateria (Corvallis, OR) and Mashti Malone's Ice Cream (Glendale, CA) are just a few of the many businesses that have benefited from our expertise on the appropriate floor plan.
