Custom Design Development

For millions of Americans, dining is more than eating out, its entertainment and if done well will leave a lasting impression on your guests. Memorable restaurant designs require an in-depth understanding of how restaurants operate, how employees will interact with the layout and design, and how to draw the guest into the experience.

We believe the most successful restaurant designs effectively showcase the food preparation and the servers, creating a unique environment that is warm, entertaining and comfortable. We are not big believers in following design trends but instead using design treatments and materials that are durable and lasting.

With over 30 years of food service design experience and our strategic alliance with interior design and architect partners, The Gilkey Restaurant Consulting Group Group has a proven track-record of creating customized restaurants and food service designs.

Our design approach blends aesthetics with functionality. By taking into account the importance of traffic flow, spatial planning, construction elements and equipment, we deliver creative foodservice solutions with the guest in mind. Our experience as Executive Chefs physically serving several hundred meals on a Saturday night allows us the detailed understanding of the food production process and achieving timely through put standards.
