Start with a measured room
Capture walls, columns, doors, windows, ceiling heights, fixed services and exits. Keep the existing kitchen as a baseline before developing a proposed layout.
SPACES THAT HELP PEOPLE THRIVE
Design a kitchen that works.
Choose the equipment. Explore the finishes. Plan the space and the investment.

ROOM AREA96,0 m²
EQUIPMENT16 items
A thoughtful workflow
Receiving→Storage→Preparation→Cooking→Serving
Dish return and washing need a separate route.Every item, in one schedule.
Compare source-based price estimates, add your own allowances, and keep the equipment schedule linked to the 3D layout.

Unpriced items are excluded from the subtotal, not valued at zero. Source listings are dated references, not live quotations. A custom size requires a fresh quotation. Canopy kit prices include the listed kit components; avoid counting them twice.
Add to request records the item on your NutriMe kitchen requests, with its specification and estimate: on your account when you are signed in with your institution, otherwise on this device. A request is not an order. No orders are placed, and no supplier is asked for a quote. Existing equipment from your asset register is shown but not priced.
Test a production scenario.
Check bulk cooking volume and batch timing before choosing equipment.
Food and service
For one cooked dish. These are editable assumptions, not an approved recipe or kitchen capacity.
BULK COOKING SCENARIO
From portions to production.
Total cooked volume105,0L
Usable volume per wave90,0L
Cooking waves2waves
Cooking and turnarounds100min
300 people × 0,35 L = 105,0 L. 2 vessels × 60 L × 75% usable fill = 90,0 L per wave.
Before serving: add preparation, heating where not included, the other menu components, measured food safety checks and the serving window. Time alone does not establish food safety.
What else determines throughput?
Other dishes using the same burners, preparation time, heating rates, staffing, washing, holding, service points and verified safe fill limits. Assess these before making a capacity commitment.
A presentable kitchen must also work well.
Use this concept to brief a kitchen specialist, draughtsperson, manufacturer and facility assessor.
Design around the workload
Use people served, menus, batch sizes, deliveries and service windows to size storage, preparation, cooking, washing and serving.
Separate the flows
Keep raw preparation, ready food, dirty dishes, waste and chemicals appropriately separated. Provide dedicated handwashing and hygienic cleanable surfaces.
Resolve services and access
Verify extraction, clean water, drainage, power, gas, fire arrangements, maintenance access and accessible circulation. The geometry check only identifies overlaps and room boundaries.
Make a coordinated package
Export a 2D DXF footprint drawing, a 3D GLB model, an equipment CSV and the editable project JSON. A specialist must develop coordinated construction and fabrication drawings.
Link design to delivery
Turn verified equipment gaps into local quotation requests, installation milestones, commissioning checks and maintenance records. No orders are placed from this prototype.
About this prototype
This workspace saves to this device and supports project JSON import and export. Signed in with your institution, Save project also keeps an account copy as a NutriMe kitchen layout. Add to request records equipment on your NutriMe kitchen requests (on your account when signed in with your institution, otherwise on this device); a request is not an order. Existing equipment can be placed from your asset register at its recorded size. Quotations, supplier ordering, IoT readings and engineering approvals are not connected.
From reference to a usable kitchen.
The seven supplied references inform the materials, equipment families and planning approach. Models are authored 3D approximations, not scans or manufacturer CAD files.

Open reference ↗How the models and estimates work
Published dimensions are used where available. Concept sizes and appearance details are illustrative. Choosing a preset updates the 2D plan, 3D object, dimensions and price basis together. Editing its dimensions makes it a custom size and removes its source-based price from the subtotal until you enter an allowance.
Prices are from selected supplier listings. They are planning references, not quotes from every company shown here. Room finishes are presentation choices; cleanability, suitable materials and ventilation design need a facility-specific review.
