Independent cafés, sandwich bars and delis have a special place on our high streets. Their sheer individuality, and sometimes quirkiness, sets them apart from the large coffee and eatery chains. But, to ensure ongoing success, they must cater to customer demand by providing a carefully considered food officering, twinned with a well thought through coffee and beverage menu.
Our specialist input will ensure you have the equipment and facilities you need to innovate your business and help secure your position as a favourite, go-to destination.
Open all hours
With often long opening hours, cafés, delis and sandwich shops will inevitably experience surges in customer footfall, typically around breakfast and lunchtime. And, because these customers are usually on a tight timeline, they are unlikely to want to wait.
So, to make sure you’re able to cope with demand, a well thought through kitchen that provides all the equipment you need close to hand, will enable you to sail effortlessly through hectic periods. It really will make a big difference -both to you and your customers.

Maximising
off peak
There is sometimes a lull in business outside of the usual meal times but, by targeting and incentivising different customers, these periods too can become very profitable. Something as simple as offering a variety of freshly made cakes and pastries can attract a whole new group of people to visit. And, if you have the space (and patience), hosting children’s birthday parties can fill any other quiet periods. We can provide you with everything you need to make this viable.
TIME SPENT ON DESIGN AND PLANNING IS TIME SAVED IN ORDER FULFILMENT
No space?
No problem
Because they often operate from compact premises, space for food storage, preparation, cooking and display equipment can seem like an insurmountable problem for café, deli and sandwich shop owners but, luckily, it’s not a problem to us. Of course, the main customer focus is on front of house, but we know that with some clever design input, we can give you a behind-the-scenes area that runs like clockwork and a serving area that works like a dream.
A design that delivers
So, how do we help you to move from working within a congested preparation, cooking and service area, offering little opportunity to explore all the new ideas you might have, to a streamlined, all singing and dancing layout, capable of producing everything you want? Our vast experience across all sectors of the foodservice industry has equipped us with solutions for just about every challenge and every budget. And our design will make sure that every inch of available space is maximised.
WE’LL HELP YOU REALISE YOUR FULL POTENTIAL. PREPARE TO BE AMAZED!
Behind the scenes
We have the capability and experience to make your operation special with all the storage, refrigeration and cooking equipment you need to function effectively, while allowing staff to move freely.
Our clever kitchen designs have solved problems across all shapes and sizes of premises, including some that are implausibly small, yet we’ve always found a way – and we can’t wait to see what we can do for you.
QUADRANT
A carefully thought through coffee and beverage menu is, of course, high up on the list of customer wants. However, just as important, and arguably more lucrative, is the food on offer.
Even a limited menu of pastries, sandwiches and salads will be worthwhile but, by going a little further and serving hot breakfasts and a main meal or two, your popularity will be cemented!
LACK OF SPACE IS ONLY A PROBLEM WHEN THERE ARE NO SOLUTIONS.
WE HAVE THOSE SOLUTIONS
Front and Centre
Of course, your customers will only be presented with your front of house operation and here we can create a layout that includes all the equipment you’ll need for a super-efficient and speedy service. Depending on how your particular operation functions, and whether it’s self-service or over-counter service, we can include hot and cold display cabinets, meat slicers, panini griddles, blenders, microwaves and whatever else you need to create a vibrant focal point that engages your customers as soon as they step inside.
OUR PROCESS
Whether you’re in the process of acquiring a café, sandwich bar or deli, or whether you’re already running one that needs some improvement, we can provide all the help you need to establish a back of house and/or front of house design that provide a perfect workflow.
