All infrastructural components (except drainage) are bundled into the Chassis, an easily accessible, overhead loop that allows for maximum flexibility over time while requiring a minimum amount of reconfiguration and cost. Drainage is placed beneath the Chassis, and in a trough drain running down the middle of the kitchen.
Each Chassis component is optimized based on its service needs and frequency of connection point, to provide the maximum cost benefit over the life of the restaurant. Infrastructural dimensions of the standard restaurant are maintained.
The distribution of infrastructure provides connections from the Chassis to the Coachworks, or the Coachworks to the Chassis.
Connection points—or “whips”—are built into the Chassis from day one, and can be unraveled to accommodate additional or relocated Coachworks. This greatly reduces the time and cost of remodeling or the rearranging the Coachworks, and standardizes the Coachworks’ specification.
