Challenges & Technical Complexities

Upon receiving the brief and requirements from the investor, Saigon Horeca faced substantial engineering challenges. Renovating an existing kitchen of over 70m² required reconfiguring still-operational equipment while strictly ensuring optimal workflow ergonomics and culinary preparation procedures across all kitchen stations.

Side-by-side comparison of legacy layout (dining seating & inner stainless kitchen) versus newly renovated state-of-the-art kitchen line.
Meticulous on-site survey and comprehensive functional assessment to seamlessly integrate legacy and new equipment into a unified, friction-free operating ecosystem.

To achieve this, the Saigon Horeca technical team carried out thorough multi-day surveys, appraising each existing unit and formulating detailed engineering schematics to integrate usable legacy equipment into the new layout rationally and efficiently.

// SERVICES & TECHNICAL EXPERTISE

Exhaust Ventilation, Odor Abatement & Fresh Make-Up Air System

The 8-meter exhaust canopy is engineered with synchronized dual-duct exhaust and fresh air supply across the cooking line. This maintains constant airflow velocity, creating an ergonomically comfortable environment for chefs, mitigating heat entrapment, and ensuring a well-ventilated, fresh workspace.

In the warewashing area, a dedicated 2-meter exhaust canopy provides independent vapor extraction and fresh air intake, keeping the sanitation station clean, dry, and mold-free throughout continuous restaurant service.
