How ATK works

A design path tied to the decisions ahead

The work progresses from requirements and movement to coordinated documents and construction review.

See the full service path

  1. Read the operation

    Clarify owner needs, customer and delivery paths, functional sizing, adjacencies, and existing building conditions.

  2. Develop the plan

    Use layouts and project visuals to coordinate operations, brand considerations, consultants, and code requirements.

  3. Document the details

    Record equipment selections and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing coordination information for construction.

  4. Stay with the build

    Review shop drawings, respond to project questions, observe the site, and take part in final walkthroughs.

Foodservice thinking that connects the room to the operation

ATK Design Studios describes its role as going beyond the layout to consider how the space will function, how it will be documented, and how the work will be coordinated.

Equipment independent

ATK states that it is not tied to one equipment brand. Equipment choices are considered around the space, budget, and kitchen workflow.

Project coordination

Foodservice documentation supports coordination with architects, engineers, contractors, owners, and government authorities.

Woman-owned certified DBE

The official ATK Design Studios site identifies the business as a woman-owned certified DBE foodservice design firm.
