Commercial Kitchen Interior Design FAQs
What does a commercial kitchen and foodservice design
consultant do?
Airedale’s design consultants work with you to understand the needs of
your brand, staff, and customers. We question and discuss your brief in a
collaborative process to ascertain the aspirations of you and your stakeholders.
We then create a design for your commercial kitchen, retail space or dining
environment. This includes:
● Operational design, encompassing space planning, ergonomics and
equipment-led work.
● Retail design, which enhances your offering incorporating branding,
graphics, digital media and product placement.
● Traditional interior design, covering aspects such as colours,
textures and materials.
How does interior commercial design integrate with my
brand?
Integrating your brand into a design for a dining space or retail environment
is far more than simply incorporating a logo and brand colours. It’s about
ensuring the interior of your space is in keeping with your brand’s goals,
character and ethos.
We translate the language of your brand into your physical environment.
Key decisions, like selecting real wood tabletops for an environmentally
conscious brand or large windows for natural light for a wellness-inspired
brand, are integral to the customer experience.

“The work that Airedale undertook from planning to completion was professional throughout. We are extremely pleased with the finished kitchen and the work that was completed. Their Account Manager advised, planned and updated us throughout and we found the process ‘stress free’. The catering team at Sandycroft are delighted with their new kitchen and really pleased that they were able to have input into the design and needs of their service provision. We have already engaged with Airedale for future planned projects following this investment and look forward to continuing our partnership.”

Langdale Estate and Spa
“Since the restaurant has opened there has been an increase in the staff footfall, with the well designed layout coupled with the use of the latest technology keeping queues down to a minimum. The whole installation despite its complexity was relatively pain free with the communication between Airedale’s Project Manager and ourselves being a key factor.”

As a primary provider of professional chef qualifications within the South West it was imperative to have a design which enabled excellent quality teaching and training.
