How a Design-Build Firm Simplifies Restaurant and Retail Creation

Posted on

The creation or renovation of any business is a massive undertaking. But when it comes to food service, the job becomes even more complicated and expensive. With food and beverages, storage and display centers around safety and preservation, as well as creating more sales opportunities. Kitchens and culinary equipment involve more careful planning and regulatory requirements.

Most food service concepts employ the services of several vendors, technicians, architects, designers, and equipment specialists. This creates a seemingly endless cycle of voices, needs, and costs that add up quickly. The ability to consolidate some of those services together saves time, money, and ensures your voice remains the clearest one in the room.

GTI Designs has over 30 years of experience as a full-service restaurant and retail design-build company. Helping businesses move from concept development to grand opening. Our services include space planning, 2D & 3D renderings, commercial display cases, custom mill work, stainless steel fabrication, installation, and project coordination. By providing a single source for design and construction, we help clients save time, reduce project complexity, and create efficient, profitable spaces.

Custom Counters & Mill Work

For so many food service concepts, the service counter is the focal point of the business (Cafes, Butcher Shops, Gelaterias, Pizza Places, etc.) often having one or multiple displays worked into them. GTI Designs can ensure your counter is aesthetically perfect for your business as well as the perfect companion to your display case(s).

We offer a wide variety of materials to choose from, with physical samples available to ensure texture and quality. Just choose the style, materials, and design – GTI Designs will do the rest!

Stainless Steel Fabrication

If you’ve worked in food service, you know that day to day success often relies on maintaining a certain rhythm. Taking and/or fulfilling orders in a timely manner, quickly restocking, resupplying, and maintaining synergy from the front of the house to the back of the house.

The ability to maintain that rhythm is affected by many factors. Having storage and service solutions that reflect the needs of your business provide is a huge benefit to your operational efficiency and overall cost.

Stainless Steel Back Bar Individual Units with Different Configurations

GTI Designs provides fully custom stainless steel back bars. Offering anything from glass-fronted wine and beer cabinets for bar service, freezer drawers for Ice Cream or Gelato, refrigerating shelving for ingredients, baked goods, or dry/ambient storage for cutlery, plates, or supplies. These units are channeled together to offer multiple needs at once! Our representatives will discuss your specific needs and we can design the perfect back bar for your business.
