- demand range
- extension notice
- return-to-normal milestone
Translate the workload into a facility brief
A temporary kitchen rental should follow the service you need to keep open. Start with the menu, daily meal periods and the part of your permanent kitchen that will be unavailable. This distinguishes a complete cooking operation from an additional preparation or serving area.
- Menu and preparation methods
- Meals per service period and peak staffing
- Cooking, preparation and serving responsibilities
- Power, fuel, water and wastewater connections
- Receiving, clean storage and returned-dish routes
The connection to the wider project
For a seasonal operating period, review peak dates alongside menu and preparation methods. The responsible project contact should also coordinate return-to-normal milestone with receiving, clean storage and returned-dish routes.
Confirm the proposed cooking appliances and their specific power or fuel supply. Review potable water, wastewater, ventilation, heat discharge and connection responsibilities with the appropriate site professionals.
Handover and daily use
Walk through the food-service sequence before the first live meal period. Check access, work surfaces, utilities and the handoff between storage, cooking, serving and washing areas.
