Kitchen Layout Advisory
Kitchen Layout Advisory
Carpe is situated in a beautiful villa bag in the middle of Al Ain city. The layout has been carefully designed in order to maintain separation between the operations flow and customer flow as guests can enter from the front and be greeted by the designed facade first and flower shop as they enter; whereas there is a different access point for deliveries and services.
The kithcen layout has been designed to maximize both input and output, in order to cope with the market demand.
