Next Step Design is an innovative and influential force in foodservice design, best known for our work in world-class restaurants, high-end hotels, and cutting-edge workplace dining. We translate the ideas of the most forward-thinking architects, designers, chefs, and operators into actionable specification documents with unprecedented detail. We layout every piece of equipment, connection, and workspace through Revit® and AutoCAD®, and then we contrast that design against the real-life culinary expertise of the former chefs, servers, and kitchen managers who make up our team. This level of accuracy and functionality keeps change orders to a minimum while preserving project timelines and budgets. We understand the end goal — consistent, high-quality food preparation delivered with efficiency in an atmosphere that delights the senses.
