Great kitchens are not just filled with equipment — they are designed to work.

At Restaurant Equipment of Austin, our design consulting goes far beyond basic layouts or cookie-cutter plans. One of our owners, Scott, spent 18 years as an engineer/architect, bringing a rare level of technical expertise and real-world kitchen knowledge to every project.

This isn’t theoretical design — it is hands-on, practical, and built around how kitchens actually operate in real time.

Designed by Someone Who Truly Understands Kitchens

Most kitchen designs are created by people who have never worked a line, managed a rush, or dealt with the daily frustrations chefs face.

We’re different.

With decades of industry experience, we understand:

• Kitchen flow and efficiency

• Staff movement and bottlenecks

• Proper spacing, clearances, and work zones

• Equipment performance and real-world usage

• Health code and operational requirements

Using professional CAD design, we don’t just place equipment — we engineer flow.

From Concept to Complete Solution

Because we design the kitchen and supply the equipment, we can deliver a fully integrated solution:

• Custom CAD kitchen layouts

• Optimized equipment placement for efficiency

• Equipment modification to maximize space and performance

• Equipment selection that matches your menu and volume

• One team, one plan, one point of contact

This eliminates miscommunication, costly redesigns, and surprises during installation.

Why This Matters

A well-designed kitchen:

• Runs faster

• Reduces staff fatigue

• Improves consistency

• Minimizes costly mistakes

• Saves money long-term

Our goal is to design kitchens that make your life easier — not more complicated.

Whether you’re opening a new restaurant, remodeling an existing space, or reworking a problem kitchen, we partner with you to create a layout that supports your operation today and scales with you tomorrow.

This is design with purpose. This is experience you won’t find online.
