Commercial kitchen planning Berlin: plan your kitchen

What is commercial kitchen planning?

In short: Commercial kitchen planning determines where every appliance, every piece of stainless steel furniture and every connection sits in your kitchen. In Berlin, Gastro Arena plans kitchens for restaurants, takeaways, bakeries, cafés, canteens and hotels: from the concept to the precise 2D layout and the 3D model. Then we build the kitchen too.

Why good planning saves money

In a commercial kitchen every metre affects speed and staffing. If the cooking line, pass and dishwashing area are badly arranged, your staff walk detours every day. Pipes and cables that have to be rerouted later cost far more than a line on a plan.

Planning by people who also build

We only plan what can actually be built. Because we supply the equipment ourselves and build the stainless steel furniture in our own workshop in the same courtyard. So plan, equipment and furniture fit together in the end.

Which businesses do we plan kitchens for?

Every type of business has its own workflows. A few examples of what matters in each:

01RestaurantCooking line, pass, service counter and dishwashing area arranged so that no one gets in anyone's way, even at peak times.

02Takeaway and doner shopGrill, counter and refrigeration in a small space, designed for fast service at the counter.

03Bakery, café and barCounter, refrigerated display and coffee equipment in view of the guests, the equipment behind easy to reach.

04CanteenLarge quantities, clear routes: cooking, serving and dishwashing cleanly separated.

05HotelBreakfast, banqueting and à la carte from one kitchen, with enough refrigerated and storage space.

06Butcher's shopHygienic stainless steel work surfaces, refrigeration and a counter for the produce.

07Ocakbaşı restaurantThe open charcoal grill as the centrepiece of the dining room, built in our own workshop.

Frequently asked questions about commercial kitchen planning

How much does commercial kitchen planning cost?

We offer 2D planning from €500. If you then commission us with the kitchen, we credit the amount against your order. 3D planning is available on request.

What do you need from me for the planning?

A floor plan or a sketch with dimensions and photos of the room. Your menu, the expected number of guests, your budget and the planned opening date are also helpful.

When should I start planning?

As early as possible, ideally before the refurbishment and the connections for power, gas, water and drainage are fixed. Planning first saves expensive changes later.

What is the difference between a 2D layout and a 3D model?

The 2D layout is the precise floor plan from above, with every appliance and every piece of stainless steel furniture in its place. The 3D model shows the same kitchen in space, with heights, hoods and shelving. So you can see before building where space gets tight.

Which businesses do you plan commercial kitchens for?

For restaurants, takeaways and doner shops, bakeries, cafés and bars, canteens, hotels, butcher's shops and Ocakbaşı restaurants, from small businesses to chains.

Do you also handle delivery and installation after planning?

Yes. We supply the catering equipment, build the stainless steel furniture in our own workshop and install both on site. Planning and execution come from a single source.

How long does planning take?

Usually about two weeks, from the first conversation to the finished 2D layout. Longer for a 3D model or larger projects.

Do you also plan with equipment I already have?

Yes. We record your existing equipment with its dimensions and connections and plan it into the new kitchen. We only add what is missing.
