Dear Robert, On behalf of myself and Ron we would like to say a huge thank you to yourself, Luke and Katrina for all the fabulous work you have done to help us successfully open our new bakery.  Having your business involved in the design and all the organising of licenses etc  made my job a little less stressful knowing that your company had it all organised.  I have attached some photos of the end result and it looks fabulous.  We have had many of our customers say how wonderful it looks however, next time we may have to make the display cabinets a little lower for us shorties!!!!  Ha ha! Thanks heaps again and we look forward to working with you again in the future.
Regards, Renee Craig

Food Strategy came recommended to us as the "gurus" in the food retailing build space and they have not disappointed. Puckles is an entirely new brand and required a huge commitment to detail along with the ability to change and adapt as the model progressed. When you're starting up a new business there's nothing better than having an expert partner in the fitout space and Food Strategy has been this partner for Puckles. Not only were they excellent in the shop build space but they have an exhaustive list of other suppliers that we were able to leverage for everything from interior design to furniture choice. A big thanks to Rob, Chris and the Food Strategy team! www.puckles.com.au

Food Strategy are better than most of the other restaurant design people out there. They don’t use shopping centre plans for information – instead Food Strategy accurately measures and checks each site. This means I can give a more accurate quote and build a better job. It’s another check that nothing major is missed. With other designers; we find that every second job needs to be redesigned because they missed something. Robert seems to find most things in the design.

There are so many good things to say about Food Strategy plans and the team. The site measures and dimensions are accurate which means they’re easy to build and construct from. Their difference is the details in the cabinetry and stainless steel. I can send the designs straight to the workshops and don’t have to have them re-drawn like I do for other designers. This saves money and time.

We have to ‘assume’ details on other designer’s drawing – not with Food Strategy. For example; No one else draws in the gas lines to the catering equipment – a piece of information that’s vital to building the shop so we know it triggers consideration of gas installation and relevant council approvals. They have complete install information of catering equipment such as amps, megajoules, model numbers and services – I know exactly what services to arrange before we start.
 
The staff are happy, easy to work with and always available to answer our questions. Due to their knowledge and experience they know the answers to our questions – the others don’t. Nothing is too much trouble. By using Food Strategy designs; Witrook has less variations for the client, our risk factor is lower so our construction prices are lower – everyone wins!

Just wanted to comment on the Night Owl gear and pass on my comments to the team. The drawings look great! So much more detail than what is normally seen in industry, has made a big difference to the jobs and the amount of calls we get re fitting out specs etc.

We wish to tell you how pleased we are with the Torbay Production Kitchen. It has now been operating for 2 months and we couldn’t be more happy with the results.

Your design meets everything that we asked for. Your recommendations of equipment has worked extremely well. We are very pleased with the equipment specs and the way it complements each other. Our staff are full of praise for the new kitchen and conditions they are now working in.

Overall this project has been a most satisfying experience and your expert advice and professional care has seen the project run smoothly from design to the production of the first meal.  Food Strategy has a standing invitation to visit at any time and bring anyone you like through the facility. We are quite proud of the final result and really appreciate your design and your assistance in making it a reality. We thankyou for your assistance and congratulate you on your very professional team.

The shop has been operating very well and we have had very positive comments about the 'look' and the food. Both Kerry and I were happy with the friendly and efficient service provided by yourself and the team. If we had a problem someone always tried to solve it for us. There is a lot of talent. Certainly we will be happy to recommend your business to any future prospects. Thankyou again.

Like anything spending some time and $ on quality design will save a lot of money and wasted time later. Getting a good team like FS working on your project is a must.
