At American Chef Supply, we guide you through every step of your food service design journey—from initial concepts to final approvals—ensuring a seamless process tailored to your needs.

Our Food Service Design Process

Step 1: Concept & Planning

Our expert designers and project managers meet with you to discuss your vision, operational needs, and kitchen workflow. This initial phase allows us to understand your requirements and provide design recommendations that align with your goals.

Step 2: Design & Development

In this stage, our team develops a preliminary food service layout, selecting equipment based on your preferences and industry standards. We create an itemized budget and present the proposed layout for your review and approval before moving forward.

Step 3: Construction Documents

Once the design is approved, our project managers produce a comprehensive set of construction documents, including equipment plans, electrical and plumbing specifications, and elevation details. We work closely with architects, engineers, and contractors to ensure smooth coordination.

Step 4: Health Department Approval

With construction documents completed, we assist in obtaining Department of Environmental Health (DEH) approval. Our team ensures that all equipment specifications and layouts meet regulatory requirements, streamlining the approval process.

Step 5: Project Finalization

After addressing any necessary revisions from DEH, the approved plans are ready for the build phase. At this point, you can move forward with construction, knowing your food service design is fully compliant and optimized for efficiency.

At American Chef Supply, we’re committed to delivering functional, high-quality kitchen designs that set you up for success. Contact us today to get started on your project!
