Solution
This was a unique project initially with all the focus on the aesthetic design of the space and working closely with architects Richards and Spence we were able to find solutions to blend commercial catering equipment into the surrounding spaces without sacrificing quality, performance or storage. With this successful project completed within budget and on time the customer has engaged us to build their next restaurant 2 months later.
Â
The open plan kitchen was the first challenge knowing that limited space would be available on the benchtops and refrigeration being in full view of guests. We installed SKOPE Pegasus GN 1/1 under counter fridges and freezers in a custom powder coat and door handle to blend in with the benchtops and provide the chefs with easily accessible storage.
Â
The downstairs bar area required maximum storage of wine so the Backbar X range from SKOPE was utilised giving 2 full rows of wine bottles and again all units were powder coated. A double drawer Adande fridge was wrapped in colour matching commercial vinyl, and the La Marzocco GS3 coffee machine and grinder were powder coated also.
Â
Handling all of the washing in the venue is 3 x Meiko under counter dishwashers fitted with reverse osmosis internal systems to provide complete polish free results on all of the glassware and cutlery. These units have been installed using 32amp 3 phase power to provide 90sec wash cycles under full load in the busiest of times.
Â
The main washup room houses the most impressive pass through dishwasher on the market from Meiko, which is the MiClean HM automatic hood machine. Tested to 1,200,000 hood openings and guaranteed with a 5-year parts and labour warranty this is a must for a busy establishment like Same Same restaurant.
Â
Upstairs is another large bar running under the name LOS Land of Smiles and again we custom designed along with SKOPE 3 large Backbar X fridges in a heritage green powder coat and custom handles. Ice machines in the venue are all from Hoshizaki Lancer and consist of flakers, large 38mm negroni style cubes and a standard large volume cuber and bin.
