Video Transcript:

In this video, we're going to talk about the principles of commercial kitchen design from start to the finished kitchen. Good morning, nice to see you again. Good morning. So Sholem you were obviously the founder of Culinary Depot. You've got decades of experience here. Just imagine for a second that I want to start a commercial kitchen and I come to you saying where do I even begin? Okay, so I would ask you first -- you know, give me your menu. Okay. What kind of menu are we talking about? So we start understanding what type of equipment you would start wanting to put together.

Second I would ask you being that it's Manhattan and you're paying an awful lot of rent. True. So you want to get the maximum seats and the minimum kitchen space. Right, of course -- proportional. It's very challenging proportionately because... but on the other hand you don't want to cut down too much because you want to make sure your customers are going to be happy. Right. And that you're gonna be accepted by the Board of Health on the same end to make sure that you are keeping it clean and effective to serving quality food.

Okay, so I'm talking about now design of the space and proportions? Correct. Alright good, and moving on from there what are some of the big components that I need to think about inside the kitchen? So we have to think about... we'll start from the back end -- delivering your food. From the back of the house. So in the morning you get -- you have to have a storage space. You have to have cold storage, dry storage. Then you have to have cold storage. Like that -- Like what I'm seeing behind me. Like what you're seeing behind you. This walk-in freezer and walk-in cooler. Do you have the space for that? Let's say yes. So hope yes -- we'll make sure that it fits in perfectly with the Feng Shui of the bringing in the kitchen from the back, moving it forward, and the chefs being able to go in every morning, taking out his product, bringing it to the prep area, which we will design next -- is the prep area.

From the prep area, getting it ready for either being cooked, prepared hot, so we need a nice hot area so we'd have to discuss the exhaust system. Right, the ventilation. Ventilation -- yep correct. Have to go through the ventilation system. Then from there you're bringing out the food to the customers. Coming back you want to make sure that you keep the soil away from the clean so you'd have to drop down the soil and now you would -- you're talking about your dishwashing area, a cleaning area, and so forth. So it's really a flow from that sort of delivery first thing in the morning of the foods all the way through preparation and delivery and then back through cleaning -- it's almost like a sort of a complete loop. I would say it's in that, yeah. It's just to make sure that flow goes, that the customer gets what he needs. Kitchen stays where it has to be and it's clean and...

So let's talk about Culinary Depot just for a moment. One thing -- when I first saw the website culinarydepotinc.com. I went there. And I saw a huge number of components but I didn't completely understand how much you guys spend...
