Story

Wise Grill & Bar was opened in 2019, and rapidly became one of the most popular spots in Brooklyn. Gorgeous multi-zone space, creative New American Cuisine, and a vast roofed outdoor seating made a powerful combination that attracts many customers every day. However, in order to fulfill the restaurant’s needs, the kitchen area needed a thorough reorganization. McDonald Paper handled a complete kitchen optimization.

To improve the kitchen’s work and provide it with all the necessary equipment, McDonald Paper changed the whole layout. Experienced consultants studied the menu of Wise Grill & Bar and created a new kitchen layout that would be equipped with all the essential items, and would simplify and optimize the work process.

Unnecessary equipment was removed, leaving space for installation of more crucial ones thus enhancing the kitchen’s capabilities. Rational ovens were relocated, and a new sushi bar was set up. The company’s experts observed the work process and developed a full equipment maintenance regulation. The whole process was completed in less than a month.
