You'll find the plumber is part of the first stages, along with the electricians. They'll need to set up gas piping, drains, water lines and even exhaust fans. Heating and air conditioning is another concern. The electrician will need to know what has to be wired so that needs to be addressed in the planning stages as well.
Location's for any and all equipment being installed, should be well laid out in advance, taking the working conditions in mind. What's to be done in this particular establishment and how many stations, as well as how many people will work in it, are all major concerns.
Fire guard systems are also a requirement in most areas for any kitchen. This is a large concern in the beginning stage, because of the high expense to install these built in fire systems. Leaving this out at the design stage could bust the budget.
Drainage and the ability to efficiently clean the area should be taken into consideration. This would include the materials that the floors are designed with. All kitchens should think about installing drains and hot water rinse lines, these can be used to completely spray down the entire floor. This may not impossible in some structures, if you have a blank slate designing the job, then it's a must.
Commercial kitchen design is a complex combination of having an informed professional, and that person's ability to link all of the necessary elements together in the right order. If you leave out one faction, or schedule them wrong, the whole job will suffer. Each phase prepares the field for the next.
