01 / PROJECT BRIEF

A complete kitchen package from GRACE’s factory

A seafood restaurant needs more than a list of hot appliances. Chilled ingredients must reach preparation, portions must move to the correct cooking station, and finished dishes need a clear collection point. For The Cray’s Australian restaurant format, GRACE can develop those relationships around the menu and the busiest ordering period.

GRACE manufactures commercial cooking and refrigeration equipment alongside custom stainless steel preparation and finishing surfaces. The factory supply package brings those elements together around the seafood menu, with engineering drawings, materials and dimensions defined for production, followed by pre-shipment quality checks and after-sales support.

02 / SERVICE & WORKFLOW

Chilled preparation, cooking to order and dish release

The cooking line should follow the menu’s actual working methods. Chilled seafood preparation, pan cooking, grilling and oven finishing each place different demands on a bench and its surrounding space. Discuss the ingredient formats, portioning work and order-release sequence together so that refrigeration and preparation remain available during service.

Cold preparation

Allocate chilled storage and a washable preparation surface for the agreed seafood menu. Record product separation and replenishment duties before fixing the counter size.

Cooking to the order

Map pan cooking, grilling and oven finishing as separate working methods. Give each hot appliance a landing surface and keep finished dishes moving toward the pass.

Serviceware and utensils

Review glassware, plates and larger cooking pans separately. A dishwasher connection alone does not provide the sorting, drying and storage space the service requires.

03 / OPERATING & CAPACITY REVIEW

Test the seafood line against a mixed table order

A seafood restaurant may finish pan-cooked, grilled and oven dishes for the same table. The planning exercise is to bring those dishes to a common finishing point while keeping chilled preparation and utensil return usable. Review the actual menu mix before allocating burner positions, refrigeration or landing surfaces.

Working dutyInput to confirmEquipment and layout decision
Chilled preparationProduct formats, portioning duties and the working quantity of each ingredient.Allocate suitable preparation and refrigerated positions, then identify how reserve stock replenishes them during service.
Mixed cooking orderDishes needing pans, grilling or oven finishing within the same order window.Coordinate station duties and landing surfaces so the pass can bring completed components together.
Utensil returnPlates, glassware and larger pots or pans arriving after a busy service.Separate the machine-washing duty from the space needed for sorting, pot cleaning, drying and clean storage.

Turn the agreed inputs into a station schedule: the task, container or tray format, working stock, appliance duty and staff position. Review the busiest overlap with the operator, then record the assumptions behind the final quantities and fitted dimensions.

04 / GRACE FACTORY CAPABILITIES

Factory manufacturing & complete kitchen supply

GRACE is a commercial kitchen equipment manufacturer in Foshan, China. We bring equipment production, custom stainless steel fabrication and kitchen engineering together, supplying complete equipment packages from our factory.

Commercial kitchen equipment manufacturing

GRACE manufactures commercial cooking and refrigeration equipment for restaurant kitchens. For a seafood-service brief, our factory supply brings pan-cooking, oven and chilled-preparation duties together with the supporting equipment, allowing the hot line and cold working stations to be supplied as a matched production package.

Custom stainless steel production

We manufacture preparation tables, ingredient sinks, shelving, cookware landing surfaces and finishing counters to the approved dimensions. The fabrication drawings define material grade, sheet thickness, working height and finish, while equipment openings and supports are made around the selected appliances and the agreed preparation sequence.

Kitchen engineering for factory production

Our engineering team carries the menu and 2D / 3D layout into equipment specifications and factory drawings. Chilled portions, cooking methods, clean plates and the finished-dish pass are developed as linked workstations, with the necessary dimensions and connection information incorporated before production.

Factory inspection & complete project supply

GRACE inspects equipment and stainless steel work before shipment for specification, dimensions, workmanship and relevant functions. The complete supply includes packing identification, selected-model installation and operating information, and after-sales support, connecting factory production to the restaurant team that will receive and use the equipment.

05 / 3D DESIGN REVIEW

Read the workstations in the two 3D views

The GRACE references below show different working relationships for the design discussion. Read each view alongside the operating duties, then use the measured room and selected models to develop the equipment and fabrication layout.

An island connecting several cooking methods

The first view combines a central hot line with preparation and storage around the room. It helps frame the relationship between the cook’s working side and the finishing surface. For this seafood brief, check how a chilled portion reaches its cooking station and how the completed dish reaches the pass without returning through ingredient preparation.

Pan positions and usable landing space

The closer view shows several burner positions and neighbouring cooking surfaces. Appliance width alone does not describe how many tasks can be handled comfortably. Review pan sizes, handles, ingredient containers and the place used to set down a finished component, with cleaning and utensil access retained along the line.

06 / EQUIPMENT OPTIONS

GRACE equipment for the production and service stations

These GRACE models illustrate the equipment duties in the kitchen package. Our factory team develops the selected equipment build and made-to-measure stainless steel work around the agreed menu, capacities and room dimensions, with the specifications and site connections carried into the production documents.

07 / FACTORY PRODUCTION & PROJECT DELIVERY

From production drawings to checked equipment and shipment

Coordinate extraction with the final appliance arrangement, not a provisional equipment list. Check water, drainage and cleaning access around preparation sinks and wash-up. Confirm the plate and pan sizes that must be washed and stored, including items too large for the proposed dishwasher rack.

Keep the ingredient-preparation and finished-dish positions visible on the stainless steel drawings. Specify sink duties, board storage, shelving and the pass edge alongside the hot equipment. Water, drainage, gas and extraction should follow the agreed appliance revision, while refrigerator panels and the spaces behind cooking equipment remain accessible for the operating team.

Factory engineering for the selected equipment build

Our engineering team carries the approved equipment specification into production, including the selected electrical build or gas configuration. Appliance dimensions, fabrication drawings and utility schedules follow the same revision, giving the factory and site team a consistent record of the equipment being made and supplied.

In-house fabrication and pre-shipment inspection

GRACE manufactures the fitted worktables, sinks, shelves and equipment supports to the approved production drawings. Materials, dimensions, joints, surface finish and assembly are checked before dispatch, alongside the relevant equipment inspections. The resulting workstations combine factory-made equipment with metalwork produced for their actual positions.

Factory packing, shipment and after-sales support

GRACE identifies equipment and fabricated sections against the project list for packing and shipment. Installation and assembly information, operating and cleaning documents, and agreed service-parts references accompany the supply. Our after-sales team remains the factory contact for equipment questions, maintenance information and replacement-parts support.
