Because the kitchen is the engine that drives most restaurants, this space requires thoughtful planning and consideration to ensure it does not hold the operation back. Key points to consider include the form and function of the space, where to position it within a restaurant and how much space to allow for the kitchen. This hour-long webcast discussed the merits of open and closed kitchens and how to make them integral parts of the restaurant’s overall design.

Join moderator Joe Carbonara, Zoomba Group Editorial Director, for an informative, insightful hour of discussion.
