The kitchen is the production center of the food service. A functional kitchen is a combination of the efficiency of modern technology and good architectural design.Food preparation can be facilitated and done effectively in a kitchen designed and structured in such a way that the arrangement of the work centers coincide with space, time and work flow.
Kitchen Principal Work Center • Sink - center for washing and trimming food and dishwashing
• Range - the work triangle
• Refrigeration Center – be near enough to the food preparation area to minimize movement between areas.
• Cooking Center – should provide ready access for food preparation center.
Types of Work Center Arrangement

* Best utilized in narrow rooms.* Suitable for one or two people to use at one.* Suitable for small family stay at apartment or
condominium.
Corridor or Two Type – in this arrangement, the two centers are placed along two walls opposite each other.
* Comprises counters on both sides of the room with 1.2m width corridor down the middle.* This set-up saves steps and makes sense where food preparation comes before entertaining.* First choice of many top chefs.

* Utilizes three full walls for maximum storage and work space.* Suitable for both large and small rooms* Suitable for condominium and terrace house.
