1. Assembly Line Layout
• In this layout, there is a central row or island organized in a single line. This
allows ingredients to move seamlessly from a food prep station, through to
cooking, and finally, a service area where the completed items are picked up
and delivered to customers.
• The assembly line layout is best for fast food restaurants with systematic
preparation

2. Island Layout
In this configuration, the meal is at the center
of the action.
This means that all the kitchen equipment
dedicated to cooking, such as ovens, ranges,
and fryers, are all centered in the middle of the
kitchen in an island-like setup.

2. Island Layout
• In an island layout, all the non-cooking stations,
such as the dishwashing station and food
preparation areas, are pushed up against the
perimeter of the kitchen.
• The island design is the best restaurant kitchen
layout for venues with ample kitchen space for
staff to move around.

3. Zoning Layout
• Zone style kitchens are divided into different
sections, or “zones,” each with its own
established set of activities, such as washing,
food prep, cooking, and cold storage.
• The exact number and functions of these
stations is up to you, but the primary goal of a
zoned kitchen is to prioritize organization.

Layout
• The zoning layout is best for restaurants with
diverse menus and a wide variety of items that
need to be prepared, such as hotel restaurants
and catering kitchens, event space kitchens
• However, this restaurant kitchen layout is not a
good option for small kitchens because it
doesn’t allow for much multi-tasking.

4. Galley Layout
• All the different stations and kitchen
equipment are positioned along the
perimeter of the kitchen. If the kitchen is
very tight, this might mean everything sits
along just two parallel walls.

restaurant kitchen layout and few staff, such as a
food truck.

An open kitchen layout means that the
commercial kitchen is open to the dining
room so customers can see all the action
that takes place behind the scenes.

5. Open Layout
In an open kitchen layout, hot cooking
equipment should be kept as far away from
customers as possible. In some cases, it might
make sense to add a glass partition between
the service area and the dining room. .

Open kitchen layouts are common in high-end restaurants
where watching the chefs work is part of the experience.

6. Ergonomic Layout
• As the name suggests, it ensures that staff
are comfortable and need to move as little
as possible to complete their tasks.
• This ensures that employees don’t need to
be reaching, crouching, bending,
stretching, or walking around to get what
they need.

6. Ergonomic Layout
• In an ergonomic restaurant kitchen layout,
cooking equipment and supplies are placed
within close proximity to one another

foodservice team members to move away from
their respective stations.
