Café Kitchen Setup - Bangalore

Project Overview

A standalone café in Bangalore needed a compact, well-organised kitchen and dishwash station inside a tight 600 sq ft footprint. The operation runs an all-day menu of coffee, bakes and light meals, so the kitchen had to handle steady prep, quick plating and a constant flow of crockery without the small team getting in each other's way. Steelkraft designed and built the full café kitchen in grade 304 stainless steel.

The Client Brief

The owner wanted a clean, efficient back-of-house that made the most of a small room. Space for prep, cold storage and a proper dishwash line all had to fit without crowding the service counter at the front. Because a café lives on quick table turns, crockery had to be washed and back in circulation fast, and the whole kitchen needed to be easy to keep spotless through a long trading day.

Steelkraft's Approach

We measured the unit carefully and designed a layout that stacked prep, refrigeration and the wash line along the available walls, leaving a clear path between the kitchen and the serving counter. An under-counter dishwasher went into the wash corner with a pre-rinse sink alongside so cups and plates could be cleared quickly. Prep tables with undershelf storage kept working surfaces free, and under-counter refrigeration sat directly beneath the prep line to cut walking. Every unit was fabricated in-house and delivered as modular pieces that dropped straight into place.

Equipment Installed

• Under-counter dishwasher with pre-rinse sink for fast crockery turnaround
• Stainless steel prep tables with undershelf storage
• Single and double-bowl sink units for the wash and prep areas
• Under-counter refrigeration built into the prep line
• Front serving counter finished to match the back-of-house

The Outcome

The café now runs its all-day service from a compact kitchen that stays clear and clean through the busiest hours. The under-counter dishwasher keeps crockery moving so tables turn quickly, and placing refrigeration under the prep line has cut unnecessary steps for the small team. The owner has a hard-wearing stainless steel kitchen sized exactly to the space, backed by our after-sales service team.
