Design & Review

Kitchen design experts.

Most kitchen design firms have never run a kitchen. We have. That's why our designs work on a Saturday night with a full board, not just on paper.

Case Study

We turned a $3.1M kitchen into a $1.9M kitchen.

Same capacity. Same finish. $1.2 million in savings.

A client brought us their finalized kitchen plans and a $3.1 million equipment bid. They were ready to sign.

We asked to review the plans first.

What we found: equipment specified two sizes too large, redundant prep stations, vendor pricing that hadn't been negotiated, and layout inefficiencies that would have forced a second renovation within five years.

We rebuilt the equipment list. We renegotiated the bids. We redesigned the layout. The final invoice came in at $1.9 million, with full operational capacity preserved and zero compromise on finish quality.

Meet The Designers

Led by two expert operators. 40+ years of running kitchens.

Not generalist designers. Operators who have run the line, fixed the layout, and lived the buildout.

Mike Holtzman [ Founder / Owner: Mike to confirm ]

Mike has spent 33 years inside the kitchens he now designs equipment for. As owner of Holtzman Group Hospitality Experts (formerly Profitable Food Facilities Worldwide), he's worked with more than 1,000 operations and 800+ clients across private clubs, water parks, agritourism, sports plexes, casinos, and country clubs. He's specified and sourced equipment for 350+ custom kitchens, and spoken at 450+ industry conferences.

He's not selling you equipment from a catalog. He's selling you what he'd put in his own operation.

Josh Hizon Director of Kitchen Design and Operations

Josh grew up in the hotel and restaurant industry, the kind of immersion you cannot teach in a classroom. He came up through every level of the business, from the floor to the back of house, learning how a kitchen actually runs before he ever designed one. Along the way he trained under a sommelier and a chef, sharpening both the hospitality fluency and the culinary instinct that separate a functional kitchen from an exceptional one. As Director of Kitchen Design and Operations, Josh designs kitchens from the perspective of the people who will work in them. He understands flow, station logic, and the difference between a layout that looks right on paper and one that holds up on a Saturday night.

Every plan he draws is informed by years spent in real kitchens, not just at a drafting table.
