Food service fit-out

Restaurant service counter

Counter layouts generated per site, through to the production and installation drawings the shop and the installers work from.

The design task

Every location has a different footprint, so the counter run is laid out again from scratch each time.

The same layout then has to be redrawn three ways — for the shop, for the site, and for the customer.

What the automation handles

  • Counter layout generated from the site dimensions
  • Cabinet and countertop components driven by the layout
  • Layout, production and installation drawings produced from one model

Generated output still needs the checks and approvals required by your engineering and manufacturing process.
