Commercial Kitchen Design
Professional commercial kitchen design — matching layout, equipment selection, and workflow to your operation.
About Commercial Kitchen Design
A well-designed commercial kitchen improves efficiency, reduces labour costs, supports food safety compliance, and makes the working environment safer and more productive for kitchen teams. Poor kitchen design creates bottlenecks, increases labour requirements, and can compromise food safety. Commercial kitchen design requires understanding the menu, production volume, service style, and the physical constraints of the space. Advance Commercial Equipment provides commercial kitchen design services as part of project support for new builds, renovations, and equipment replacement projects across Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean.
Common Applications

- Kitchen renovations and refurbishments

Equipment Types
Kitchen Layout Planning
Workflow analysis and kitchen layout design to optimise production flow, minimise cross-contamination risk, and support efficient service.
Equipment Selection and Specification
Equipment selection matched to the menu, volume, and operational requirements, with detailed specifications for procurement.
Utility Planning
Gas, electrical, water, and drainage planning to ensure adequate supply for all equipment.
Ventilation Design
Canopy sizing, extraction rate calculation, and make-up air planning for commercial kitchen ventilation.
Refrigeration Planning
Cold storage and refrigeration layout planning, including walk-in cold room design and refrigeration circuit planning.
Project Coordination
Coordination of equipment supply, installation, and commissioning as part of a complete kitchen project.
Selection Factors
- Menu and cooking methods: the menu determines the equipment types and quantities required
- Production volume: peak covers and production volume determine capacity requirements
- Space constraints: available floor area, ceiling height, and structural constraints affect the design
- Utility availability: existing gas, electrical, water, and drainage supply affects equipment selection
- Budget: capital cost constraints affect equipment selection and specification
Installation Considerations
- Kitchen design should be completed before construction or fit-out begins to avoid costly modifications
- Utility connections should be planned and installed before equipment is delivered
- Equipment delivery access must be considered — some equipment cannot be moved through standard doorways once assembled
