In-Depth

ADAFSA Approval Services for Food Establishments

Food establishments are rejected far too often for avoidable layout and hygiene issues — wrong food flow, inadequate ventilation, non-compliant finishes. Our experience with ADAFSA requirements gets the design approved the first time.

Kitchen Layout & Food Flow

We plan kitchens and food areas to ADAFSA requirements — segregated raw/cooked flow, preparation zones, stores and wash areas — so the layout passes review.

Ventilation, Drainage & Finishes

We design kitchen exhaust, cold rooms, grease management, drainage and food-safe finishes to the standards ADAFSA enforces.

Submission & Licensing

We manage the ADAFSA design submission and inspection process and provide the documentation required for licensing.
