Frequently Asked Questions
Food safety is regulated by multiple agencies and it will depend on your local jurisdiction. The main regulatory agencies are the Department of Health and Department of Agriculture.
Plan review is required when the food service establishment is newly built, remodeled, converted from another use or re-opened after being closed for at least 1 year for sanitation and safety concerns. The plan review process is separate from applying for your food service license. The plan review process involves completing a plan review application and by listing and locating equipment on floor plans and diagramming specifications for electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems. The purpose is to identify potential problems that can be spotted while still on paper and modifications made BEFORE costly purchases, installation and construction.
Yes, we have a network of craftsman that are familiar with our designs and can easily turn our concepts into reality. Our designs our available anywhere in the U.S. If you already have a fabricator that’s ok too. We love working on new concepts with new fabricators.
Installation and Set Up can be provided through us, where applicable. A general contractor is best suited to do the installation. He will need to coordinate the install with various trades.
A pre-designed juice bar eliminates the design process and can take 4-6 weeks to build.
A custom job can take as little as 6-8 weeks to build.
Some parts of the country will require an architect to obtain a building permit. However, if you are not making structural changes to the building, an architect may not be needed. The documents we provided by Performance Food Centers (PFC) are not intended to replace architectural or engineering plans that me be required by the local building department. The documents and services we provide should help complement those of the architect and not duplicate their services.
An architect’s or engineer’s stamp says that the architect or engineer vouches for the accuracy and appropriateness of the documents. The architect’s/engineers stamp goes on the contract documents, which includes the drawings, specifications and any addenda that are issued after the construction documents are issued.
While engineering disciplines will need to be represented on your project team, it depends on the scope and requirements of the project. Commercial kitchen equipment requires extensive electrical and mechanical services. This is why some projects may require the assistance of an electrical and/or mechanical engineer.
Grease traps and grease interceptors are used to remove and separate fats, oils and greases (FOG) from the waste water created by a food service establishment.
Generally speaking, any facility that is preparing food or manufacturing food products should be using a grease trap.
There is a common misconception that a grease trap is only needed if you are cooking food. However, grease traps are commonly required for items that have fat and oils. i.e. common smoothie ingredients such as milk and peanut butter have fats and oils. We have low profile and compact grease traps available that may work for your operation both below and above grade.
We specify the cabinetry as marine grade plywood with white liner finish. We typically use Wilson Art or Formica laminate for the exterior surfaces of the millwork. We edge band all corners to prevent any moisture from warping the cabinetry.
Yes, you should have an EIN, Business license, Food Service Establishment Permit and any necessary local permits depending on what you're doing.
