Who this is for
This is for restaurant owners and designers who need the kitchen and service side to keep working long after opening night.
What could go wrong
Opening gets hard when the equipment, the floor plan, the seating, and the millwork are each handled by a different crew that never talks.
What we ran
We kept the equipment, the service areas, the millwork, and the final handoff all on one plan.
Why it matters
Mercatto shows why one team should keep the dining room and the kitchen working as one.
01 · Project video
A good-looking restaurant still has to work.
Mercatto needed the dining room, the kitchen, the service areas, and the way staff move through them to all line up.
What had to go right
- The dining room, the cook line, and the service areas were planned as one.
- The pretty parts out front were backed by smart choices in the kitchen.
- Owners see a team that knows both opening night and every night after.

An opening lives or dies on the details behind the scenes.
A walk through the dining room, the cook line, and the service areas.
03 · How the work was handled
The room still has to work.
Guests see the finished restaurant. The owner lives with everything behind it: the equipment, the doorways, the service, the storage, and how staff move.
The pieces had to fit together.
A restaurant like Mercatto needs the kitchen, the service areas, and the dining room all drawn up on the same plan.
One team keeps the opening on track.
Our job is to stop the project from breaking into five separate crews right when the owner needs the restaurant ready to open.
A restaurant runs smoother when the tricky parts are sorted out before it opens.
04 · Need / role / result
What this means for you.
What they needed
A dining room, patio, and kitchen that read as one finished space on opening day, with the equipment and seating sized to the floor plan, not bolted on after.
What we did
We drew the equipment, the service areas, the millwork, and the seating against the same plan, then carried it through to the handoff.
What they got
A restaurant that looked the part out front and held up behind it, with one team answerable for both sides of the door.

These are the pieces we kept on one plan: the equipment, the service areas, the millwork, and the seating, all answered by the same team.
