01 / THE CHURCH & PROJECT SCOPE

A food-service design package for a church campus

Bahamas Harvest Church is based in Nassau, The Bahamas. The two public event photographs show attendees seated in its auditorium. They introduce the setting; the kitchen design is documented separately in GRACE’s project drawings.

The engineering package covers more than a single cooking room. It brings together cold storage, hot production, dishwashing, beverage preparation and four compact food-service units. Each area has its own equipment arrangement and service requirements.

This case presents documented design and equipment planning. The supplied records do not establish a completed installation, operating meal capacity or measured service results.

02 / PRODUCTION, COLD STORAGE & DISHWASHING

Ground-floor production links cold storage, cooking and wash-up

The ground-floor plan connects separate chiller and freezer rooms to the kitchen, with dedicated access doors and shelving arrangements. Dishwashing occupies its own zone beside the hot kitchen.

Cold rooms and working refrigeration

The plan distinguishes bulk cold storage from upright cabinets and refrigerated work counters. This gives the design team separate positions to review for stockholding, preparation and replenishment during service. Door swings and access to shelving remain part of the layout review.

Two central cooking islands

Ranges with ovens, lava-rock grills and griddles form the central cooking arrangement. Fryers and stacked convection ovens occupy additional positions. Worktables and food warmer carts support preparation, landing and holding around the cooking equipment.

A dedicated dishwashing zone

The drawing specifies a long conveyor-style dishwasher, a soaking tank, a large sink, food-waste collection benches and trolleys. Used-item arrival, sorting, washing and clean-item removal need to be coordinated within that zone.

03 / UPPER-FLOOR COOKING & SERVICE

A second-floor kitchen with its own cooking and dishwashing positions

The upper-floor plan uses a central cooking island surrounded by preparation and refrigeration. It labels a pass window, a salad counter, refrigerated drawers, a range with oven, fryers, a griddle, a broiler and a stacked convection oven.

At the right-hand side, sink and dishwashing positions form a separate working edge. The hood-type dishwasher, dish exit table and nearby benches need to be reviewed together so clean racks can leave without occupying the preparation counter. The drawing is a design arrangement; it does not establish an operating throughput.

04 / BEVERAGE PREPARATION & REPLENISHMENT

Beverage service receives a dedicated counter and storage plan

The two counter layouts connect the customer-facing service edge with refrigeration, ice, sinks and replenishment. Their equipment and storage arrangements differ, so each should be coordinated against its own drawing revision.

Ground-floor beverage counter

The ground-floor drawing places coffee, ice and beverage equipment opposite a sink and storage run. It also shows overhead glass storage and the relationship between the working counter and the customer counter.

Second-floor beverage counter

The later upper-floor drawing groups chilled counters, ice wells, cup rinsing, blenders and cake display beside a storage room. The back-of-house area includes shelving, an ice maker, refrigeration, a sink and a mop basin.

05 / BURGER, GRILL, FRY & SWEET HOUSE

Four food-service units, each arranged around a different task

The mobile-unit drawings give each menu format a separate working layout. The dimensions below are the dimensions marked on these plans; they are not stated as licensed vehicle dimensions or certified operating capacities.

Burger House · 6000 × 3700 mm

The cooking side combines a griddle, broiler and two fryer positions with refrigerated drawers. The opposite side provides preparation, display and pickup/expo space, with a sink and handwashing position at the end of the unit.

Grill House · 4800 × 2300 mm

This arrangement combines shawarma, broiling, griddle and fryer positions with chilled and frozen storage. The service counter sits opposite the hot line, keeping the handoff edge distinct from the equipment side.

Fry House · 4800 × 2300 mm

The fry-focused plan pairs a tilting frying pan with two fryers and refrigerated counters. A service-pan position and beverage display sit along the opposite counter, while a handwashing position is shown at the end of the cooking run.

Sweet House · 4800 × 2300 mm

The dessert layout groups waffle preparation, an ice-cream machine, chilled work counters and frozen storage. Display and service occupy the opposite counter. It needs a different power, refrigeration and cleaning schedule from the gas-cooking units.

06 / VENTILATION, UTILITIES & FABRICATION

Coordinate equipment, extraction and services as one package

The kitchen drawings include extraction routes and equipment schedules, while separate mobile-unit files address electrical, water, drainage and gas positions. The next coordination step is to reconcile the current layouts with the actual site and selected appliance versions.

Ventilation and cooking loads

Review hood coverage, duct routes, replacement air and cleaning access with the building-services team. The fan and duct annotations are design information; the final system needs to match the agreed cooking loads and installation conditions.

Power, gas, water and drainage

Check the local electrical supply, phase, frequency and appliance configuration before procurement. Match gas type and pressure to each appliance. Coordinate sinks, ice makers, dishwashers and cleaning points with water treatment and accessible drains.

Refrigeration and replenishment

Agree which ingredients stay in bulk cold rooms and which are held at the working counters. Check door opening space, condenser airflow and stock movement between kitchens, counters and mobile units.

Fabrication and revision control

Match every worktable, sink, cupboard and counter to its drawing tag. Confirm finished dimensions, waste-bin openings, shelves and access panels. Later counter revisions must be checked against the equipment schedule before manufacture.

07 / MODEL REFERENCES

Selected equipment references from the kitchen drawings

These four models appear in the project’s kitchen schedules. The photographs are catalogue illustrations. The dimensions and specifications below are current catalogue references and must be reconciled with the project schedule and the approved appliance version.

08 / DESIGN COORDINATION & HANDOVER

Bring each service area into one approved equipment schedule

La página commercial kitchen planning connects the appliances with fabricación a medida en acero inoxidable, service positions and utility requirements. For a project with multiple kitchens and counters, the approved layout and tagged schedule need to remain aligned through procurement and installation planning.

Area-by-area layout review

Confirm the measured rooms, circulation, equipment access and handoff positions. Review both kitchens, both beverage counters and each mobile unit as separate working areas within the overall project.

A reconciled technical schedule

Link model, quantity, dimensions, material and site connections to the drawing tags. Resolve catalogue-versus-project differences and record the approved counter revisions before releasing fabrication.

Site and handover coordination

Agree equipment delivery routes, contractor connections and commissioning responsibilities. Provide model-specific operation, cleaning, maintenance and spare-parts information for the equipment ultimately supplied.
