BURGER & BARBECUE RESTAURANT · LALITPUR, NEPAL

iLive Burger & Barbeque Kitchen Project in Lalitpur, Nepal

Coordinating chilled preparation, griddle and grill cooking, and the finished-order pass.

Burger and barbecue orders bring several tasks together at once: cooking proteins, preparing buns and garnishes, finishing sides and handing over a complete meal. GRACE’s planning connects those tasks with working refrigeration, fitted stainless steel surfaces and the ventilation and utilities needed by the selected appliances.

01 / THE RESTAURANT BRIEF

A restaurant brief built around burgers and barbecue

Nosh Nepal lists iLive Burger & BBQ in Lalitpur and describes a burger-and-barbecue restaurant concept. The collected exterior photograph shows the illuminated building frontage; the dining-room image shows timber tables, upholstered seating and a service counter.

For this type of restaurant, the equipment brief starts with the meal sequence. Raw preparation and ready-to-eat assembly need distinct working positions, while the griddle, grill and any side-dish station must feed a shared pass. GRACE develops the layout around that sequence before fixing appliance quantities and fabrication dimensions.

02 / PREPARATION, COOKING & HANDOFF

Connect the hot line to a clear assembly and handoff point

A burger order can occupy the cooking surface, bun station and assembly bench at the same time. Barbecue items may follow a different preparation and cooking schedule. Defining each task helps the operator see where work can run together and where counter space or staff access is shared.

Preparation and chilled working stock

Assign receiving, raw-ingredient preparation and portioning their own positions. Keep buns, salads, sauces and other ready-to-eat components in a separate assembly arrangement. Size working refrigeration from usable containers and replenishment frequency, with bulk stock held away from the active service bench.

Griddle and grill production

Allocate cooking methods by recipe: flat-plate work, direct grilling and any separately required frying, roasting or batch preparation. Provide clean landing surfaces and separate handling tools for raw and cooked items. Leave space for loading, turning and cleaning without blocking the next cooking position.

Assembly, order checking and dispatch

Bring cooked items, buns, garnishes and sides together at a defined assembly bench. Give the pass space to check a complete order. Where takeaway is required, provide packaging and collection positions that keep waiting orders and customers clear of the cook’s working aisle.

  1. 01Prepare & portion
  2. 02Cook & assemble
  3. 03Check & hand off

Replenishment reaches the stations from the stock side. Used crockery, utensils and grill-cleaning tools move towards wash-up through designated landing positions, keeping dirty returns away from the assembly bench and finished-food pass.

03 / CAPACITY & CONNECTIONS

Set capacity from orders that arrive together

Seat count is a starting point; the useful design input is the busiest order window. GRACE asks which dishes arrive together, their cooking methods and the available staffing, then connects the required working capacity to the layout and equipment schedule.

Check the proposed sequence with a representative peak-order trial: cooking, replenishment, assembly and handoff all count. Record connected electrical loads separately from expected simultaneous use, and identify gas, water, waste and ventilation interfaces for the contractor.

04 / INSTALLED CONDITIONS & MAINTENANCE

Resolve fuel, extraction and access as one installation brief

The site survey in Lalitpur should establish the available services and installation routes. The restaurant name alone does not determine its fuel system, so agree the cooking method before finalising appliance configuration, ductwork and site connections.

Confirm the fuel and ordered appliance version

Agree gas or electric equipment from the menu and confirmed site services. For gas appliances, match the ordered fuel configuration, rated inlet pressure and connection requirements with the installer. Record isolation and maintenance access. A gas lava-rock grill is a distinct choice from a charcoal appliance.

Capture cooking fumes at the hot line

Coordinate canopy coverage with the selected appliances and cooking loads. Plan replacement air so strong cross-draughts do not undermine capture. Confirm a suitable discharge route and leave access to grease filters and duct cleaning after ceilings, counters and surrounding finishes are installed.

Treat charcoal as a separate design decision

If the operator requires solid-fuel cooking, develop the extraction and operating arrangements specifically for that appliance. Include combustion air, carbon-monoxide controls, fuel and ash handling, and ventilation while fuel is still burning or cooling. Resolve these requirements before adding charcoal equipment to the schedule.

Provide access for refrigeration and washing

Check the expected air temperature at the refrigerator intake and keep condenser openings clear of cooking heat and stored goods. Confirm water quality, washing connections and drainage. Detail cleanable worktop junctions, removable grease-collection parts and space to service the equipment without dismantling the station.

05 / LAYOUT & TECHNICAL COORDINATION

Use the layout review to settle workstation interfaces

Through commercial kitchen planning, GRACE connects receiving, storage, raw preparation, hot-food cooking, assembly and wash-up. Custom stainless steel fabrication supplies the fitted tables, sinks, shelves, equipment supports and landing surfaces around the selected appliances. These GRACE 3D design references illustrate working aisles and shared support stations during design review.

07 / PROJECT DELIVERABLES

Make the proposal usable for the operator and site contractor

An operating layout to review

2D plans and 3D views locate working refrigeration, preparation, the griddle and grill, assembly, the pass and dish return. The operator can review staff positions, replenishment, order checking and the separation of raw preparation from finished-food handling.

A coordinated equipment and fabrication schedule

Link each item to a plan location, model, quantity, dimensions and connection requirement. Fabrication drawings record working heights, materials, sinks, shelving and the support and landing surfaces that complete each station. Confirm access dimensions before procurement.

Installation and commissioning information

Coordinate delivery access, equipment placement and contractor connections. Agree model-specific commissioning checks, extraction performance checks, refrigeration and washing operation, and a representative cooking trial. Provide cleaning access details, operating information and spare-parts references for handover.
