We designed a bar and restaurant in the United States that seamlessly integrates craft beverage service with efficient food production. The layout prioritizes operational flow, hygiene, and seamless service to enhance both staff efficiency and guest experience.

In the main dining area, a prominent bar counter is dedicated to **craft cocktail preparation**, featuring a fully equipped bar station with integrated tools and ample workspace for skilled bartending. Complementing this is a **wall-mounted draft beer system** that delivers craft beer directly from the source, offering guests a curated selection of local and specialty brews. The beer lines are connected to a centralized **walk-in refrigeration unit**, where kegs are stored to ensure consistent temperature control and freshness.

The kitchen is designed with a logical, forward-thinking workflow. All incoming ingredients enter through the **receiving dock** and are directed to the **central prep area** for cleaning, cutting, and processing. Once prepared, ingredients are immediately stored in the **walk-in cooler**, which serves dual purposes: housing prepped ingredients for the kitchen and storing beer kegs for the bar’s draft system—maximizing space and energy efficiency.

From the cooler, ingredients are transported just a few steps to the **cooking zone**, which is equipped with a comprehensive suite of professional equipment, including:
- Oven
- Pizza oven
- Fryer
- Griddle
- Grill
- Burner stoves

This diverse setup allows for versatile menu offerings, from baked and fried items to grilled and slow-cooked dishes.

Adjacent to the cooking area, the **central island station** features a **heated soup well** for buffet-style service or quick access, as well as a **refrigerated salad prep unit** to maintain the freshness and safety of cold dishes.

Finally, positioned close to the dining area for efficient service recovery, is the **dishwashing zone**. Used tableware collected from guests is brought directly here for cleaning, sanitizing, and staging—ensuring a smooth turnover and minimizing cross-traffic in the service areas.

This design emphasizes intelligent zoning, minimized movement, and cross-functional use of core facilities—delivering a high-performance environment for both beverage and food service in a dynamic American hospitality setting.
