Commercial Kitchen Design

Expertise drives the Russell Hendrix Commercial Kitchen Design Team, specializing in custom kitchen layouts that optimize workflow and space. With experienced project managers and equipment experts, we deliver efficient designs for the foodservice and hospitality industries.

Bring your Commercial Kitchen vision to life

Every restaurant has a story to tell, and it's narrated by much more than just its menu. Every sizzle from the grill, sparkle of the silverware, and choreographed stride of the servers are integral parts of the story. However, at its core, this narrative emanates from the restaurant's kitchen - meticulously designed to be a perfect fusion of functionality and aesthetic charm.

  • Russell Hendrix isn't just Canada's largest foodservice equipment and supplies dealer. It's an institution with over 80 years of expertise in providing comprehensive culinary solutions. Besides a vast range of products, Russell Hendrix brings robust design, sales, installation, and custom fabrication services to the table.

    Driven by a design philosophy as authentic as the kitchens they create, the RH Commercial Kitchen Design Team brings to life the aspirations and dreams of their clients. With a dedication to crafting bespoke solutions, they ensure that each project becomes a unique reflection of the client's vision.

    The design process is a balanced mix of conceptualization, planning, execution, and support, ensuring each phase transitions smoothly from concept to creation, and long after project completion.

    Design is the backbone of foodservice establishments, not merely from an aesthetic viewpoint, but more crucially from an operational one. It lays the groundwork for ensuring optimal equipment utilization and effective systems implementation, enabling a restaurant's operational success.
