Whether launching a new restaurant, bar or
hotel space or revamping an existing hospitality business, functionality has to
be top of mind. Aesthetics certainly set the vibe and ambiance. However, behind-the-scenes,
purpose-driven design allows your venue to operate efficiently while delivering
exceptional service and experiences. As trusted remodeling experts serving the
greater Everett area, our Innovative Touch team keeps functionality forefront when
bringing restaurant and hospitality visions to life. Professional tenant
contractors specializing in property improvements, renovations, and
maintenance to ensure optimal living spaces for tenants.
Kitchen and Bar Logistics to Satisfy Customers
The engine driving any quality dining
establishment is the kitchen and bar. When layouts lack logical workflow
between stations, equipment isn’t sized appropriately or safe storage is
overlooked, delays emerge that impact orders, quality and even diner
satisfaction. Purposeful planning of hospitality kitchen and bar spaces should
ensure:
·
Sequential station positioning
based on menu preparation steps
·
Clear circulation paths wide
enough for multiple staff to navigate
·
Easy access to walk-in coolers,
freezers, dry storage etc.
·
Proximity of bar program to any
beverage stations
·
Adequate ventilation to manage
cooking odors and heat
By consulting with our design team early
when developing kitchen and bar specifications, we identify potential
operational choke points and realign plans to optimize efficiency. For a recent
brewery and gastropub, we recommended reworking their initial kitchen
positioning behind the bar to an open layout with clear customer viewing. This
allowed patrons to take in the action while improving cross-traffic flows for
staff fulfilling orders quicker.
Multi-Functional Private Event Spaces
Private dining spaces remain a profit-driving
opportunity for many restaurants and event-oriented venues. Yet simply carving
out a separate room fails to maximize the flexibility such spaces offer.
Transforming layouts and décor from one setup to another can require
significant time, labor and cost
– diminishing profitability.
Multi-functional spaces built to morph to various distinct uses solves this
dilemma. Our team can engineer convertible designs through elements like:
Retractable Wall Dividers: Quickly shift
open layouts into partitioned smaller spaces with moving soundproof dividers
between the adjoining areas.
Convertible Fixtures & Furnishings:
Accommodate layout changes by outfitting spaces with stackable, nesting and
folding tables, backdrop systems, staging and banqueting accessories built for
easy resets.
Concealed Infrastructure: Embed electrical,
lighting, audiovisual and ventilation systems within walls and ceilings to
adapt tech and environmental needs discreetly.
By recently incorporating these adaptable
concepts within a conference and events center’s multi-use hall, setups can
toggle between trade shows, galas, and conferences or even host concurrent
adjacent happenings without disturbance.
Guest Suites Designed for Comfort
In hospitality, the guest experience makes
or breaks your reputation and prospects for return visits. For overnight
accommodations, optimizing comfort and convenience within rooms directly
impacts online ratings and referrals. Our seasoned construction team advises
hospitality clients on guest suite layouts catering to modern travelers
through:
Spacious
Bathrooms:Expand proportions with roomy walk-in
showers, double vanities, compartmentalized toilet areas and storage cubbies to
prevent clutter.
Multi-Functional
Furnishings:Choose furniture doing double duty
like storage ottomans, fold-down workstations, bench seating and murphy beds to
save space.
User-Friendly
Amenities:Design details like conveniently located
charging stations, lighting presets, segmented climate controls and secured
entryways make rooms more livable.
By recently applying these guest-centric
principles into refreshed suites at a local motel seeking an updated yet
budget-friendly refresh, online sentiment and occupancy improved noticeably
almost immediately post-renovation.
