Wheat State Pizza is a restaurant in the downtown redevelopment area of Manhattan, Kansas called Manhattan Marketplace. Ben Moore Studio was hired to complete design and construction drawings for the interior remodel of a white box space for Wheat State Pizza. The 1,150 square-foot restaurant included an ordering counter, commercial kitchen with exhaust hood, walk-in cooler and office. Our firm coordinated KDHE requirements for compliance. The kitchen layout was planned so that food preparation areas had plenty of buffer between them and dish cleaning areas. Close coordination was kept with the owner to plan the most efficient layout for kitchen staff. The interior design features corrugated metal panel wainscoting and bright colors to match the company’s aesthetic.
