Read More WHAT PEOPLE SAY “As a complete novice in the coffee business, I needed to find someone to help me design a functional and attractive space. Our shop is fairly large, and I was worried that it would feel too open or noisy. Design & Layout Services gave us a layout that was not only pleasing to the eye but also incorporated several seating areas. The DLS staff was patient when it came to making numerous revisions. I wish every company I deal with could be so knowledgeable and service oriented.” Steve Kamen - Saratoga Springs, New York © 1996-2020 Design & Layout Services

HOME SERVICES ABOUT US CONTACT MORE INFO PHOTOS PDF BROCHURE PHASE 1: DESIGN Our Phase 1 Design services begin by gathering information on your project such as your concept, menu, square footage and proposed opening date. The next step is to get the interior dimensions of your space, and draw the existing wall plan. Once this information is confirmed, we begin the floor plan design. Starting in the back of your space, we will specify the proper pieces of equipment needed to support your menu items. Essential pieces of equipment for dry storage, refrigeration and food preparation are designed into the space first. The front and back service counters are then incorporated into the plan so that employees have adequate work space and the correct equipment to deliver orders quickly to the customers. Unlimited revisions to the initial floor plan will be made until the optimal design for your cafe is achieved. Specification sheets for each piece of equipment are then numbered according to the floor plan and compiled into a catalog. Finally, Design & Layout Services will provide you with a competitive price quotation on the equipment and cabinetry for your cafe which can be ordered in Phase 2. Below you will find samples of the documents included in our Phase 1 design services along with corresponding photos. Every location is different and every concept is unique. Your floor plan design is based upon your specific menu and dimensions of your space. What's Next? Use your Phase 1 documents as tools to help you finalize your business plan, start speaking with local contractors and review with your health and building departments. Once you receive your building permit and select a contractor, you will need to place orders for you equipment and cabinetry.
