01 / Project & layout
A resort kitchen planned around daily food service
Каюта хребет курорт in Limuru, Kenya, is home to a completed 460 m² kitchen project by GRACE. The kitchen brings together hot-food cooking, bakery production, ingredient preparation, dishwashing and beverage service for a resort hotel setting.
The layout identifies vegetable and general receiving, a separate meat receiving area, dry stores, a cold room and a freezer room. It also assigns spaces for pastry, vegetables and salads, fruit, red meat, white meat and fish preparation. The hot kitchen, choma area, food dispatch and wash-up area complete the main working zones.
02 / Hot kitchen & dispatch
Cooking, finishing and holding within the hot kitchen
The hot kitchen brings pan cooking, grilling, frying and oven cooking into the same production area. Different appliances serve different menu tasks, while work surfaces and food-holding points support preparation and dispatch. The equipment schedule below outlines the products specified for this part of the project.
In the site photographs, the cooking line sits beneath extraction, with the combi oven and stainless steel work surfaces nearby. Chefs work at the preparation and service counters, while heat lamps and a fries holding station provide identifiable finishing points.
The stainless steel food holding counter illustrates another part of service preparation: inset pans keep dishes arranged at the counter, with cabinet storage underneath. Holding and dispatch deserve space in the kitchen plan alongside the appliances used to cook the food.
