As a restaurant, having an open kitchen can do wonders for your image. It’s a great way to show off your staff, their skills and your modern-looking kitchen to the public.

Everyone loves a meal and a show. So why not transform the dining experience for your guests? Here are our top tips for designing a kitchen that puts your passion on display.

Glass walls

Having transparent walls to reveal your chefs hard at work is a great way to draw in customers. With the opportunity to see how the food is made, they’ll have peace of mind knowing that it will be fresh and prepared in a clean environment.

Once in your establishment and waiting for their meal, they’re treated to a performance to remember. Having a window into the world of professional chefs will undoubtedly give your diners something to chat about. It gives the chefs the exposure they deserve too.

Intriguing splashbacks

Splashbacks are essential in every kitchen. But that doesn’t mean you must opt for a plain material that doesn’t accentuate the theme that runs throughout the rest of your restaurant.

Whether you opt for tile, glass or stone, having a splashback is crucial. When you have an open-plan kitchen, you need to make sure everything is immaculate. This includes your worktops and walls. A stone splashback will not only protect your space from food, but can also add character to it.

Vibrant lighting

Make your kitchen the centrepiece of your restaurant with vibrant lighting to enhance intricate designs and the layout of your prepping area. From strong white lights to the warm glow of an orange, fire-like bulb, putting the spotlight on the soul of your business is a must.

An open-plan kitchen will allow light to shine through with little effort, creating an airy and light space. But you could also add long hanging lights that extend to your bar area or serving island. This helps illuminate cocktails and desserts, and entice potential customers to order some of their own.

Immaculate worktops

When it comes to service, you’ll want your counters to match the same immaculate presentation as your dishes. Stone worktops not only give the pass area an affluent feel, but also give you the durability you need for hot plates and spillages.

Beautiful yet practical, many of our stones have scratch-, heat- and stain-resistant properties. This makes them perfect for kitchen and dining areas alike, so can seamlessly link your open-plan spaces together.

With a range of unique designs readily available at RC Coppin, you’ll find your perfect match in no time. Whether you opt for a heavily veined material or keep it simple, you can transform your business with our stones.
