“Design & Layout
Services did a fantastic job! My general contractor and
architect both commented that they had not seen a client
so far ahead of the game. I reviewed the layout with a
consultant and they were amazed. No equipment was
missing and everything was set up for efficiency in the
operation. The people at DLS were responsive and helped
me make my first store possible. My hats are off to
Design & Layout Services! I will be using them for the
next store!” |

“I just wanted to tell
you how happy the four of us have been with the work you
and your team has done for us. We have had numerous
comments from our electricians, and contractors about
how amazing the specs are and the clarity of the design
and it makes us feel really good about money well spent.
I wanted to pass it along to you all so you know how
well received your services are here. You definitely
live up to your reputation and we are really thankful
for hiring you!” |

“We are very
pleased and impressed with the end-result of our latest
project. Design & Layout Services did an excellent job of
taking our ideas and making them a successful reality.
Although we are 5,000 miles apart, everything went smoothly,
from start to finish. You were very patient and accommodated
our frequent design changes. We especially appreciate the
close attention to details. We are very
proud of the many compliments we've received from our new
employees on how efficient our coffee bar is designed
compared to others. We would definitely contact you again for
any future endeavor!” |

“Two years ago I
was surfing the internet to find a designer that could help
me build my dream coffee house in the city of Lemoore,
California, when I found Design & Layout Services. They
started working with my architect before the plan was even
drawn, and all throughout the planning process. Design &
Layout Services worked with my contractor to make sure all
the electrical and plumbing requirements were met. The staff
was available at all times, because they took my project as
if it was their own. I highly recommend Design & Layout
Services to be your future partner in helping your dream
also become a reality." |

“When we started
our venture into Specialty Coffee we knew that we wanted to
do it right. We had great support from the SCAA on the
coffee end, and knew our store had to reflect that same
passion. Working with Design & Layout Services was an easy
choice for us. They know the industry and the proper
placement to optimize space. After explaining our vision,
Design & Layout Services knew what we wanted and what layout
we were looking for, and they got it right the first time!
We are in the final stages of the build-out and the flow is
perfect. Their services are unmatched in the industry. Well
worth every penny.” |

“We want to
thank you for all your help and professionalism with respect
to our coffee shop plans. With your plans and layout, the
constructor, plumber and electrician have been able to work
with no problem. not to mention the health and building
department. We never expected this to be so difficult and
complicated, nevertheless, your recommendations made it
easier, and we were able to understand more of the process
of opening our dream business. Again, thank you very much
for all the help and the countless hours you spent advising
us." |

“Most new,
independent café owners have no idea how complicated the
process can become, how quickly the limited funds can
disappear and how disheartening it can be to deal with
certain departments within each state and county. It has
truly been a satisfying experience working with Design &
Layout Services! The expertise you've shown with the
contractor and health and building department have saved me
countless hours, not to mention a fistful of dollars!” |

“I was looking
at getting into the specialty coffee business, and I needed
a lot of help. My background was in sales and marketing, I
did not know the coffee industry. I talked to dozens of
people seeking help and no one could give me a total picture
of what we wanted, and it made me uncomfortable. At a trade
show, I was referred to Design & Layout Services by an
espresso equipment dealer. After our first meeting, I began
to get excited again because they educated me on equipment,
design issues, and various health and building codes.
Without them I could never have opened my first three stores
in just three months.” |

“Design & Layout
Services was able to work both "out of the box" and "within
the lines" to develop a functionally innovative space. They
immediately understood how tea houses are different than
coffee houses and the accommodations to standard foodservice
design that needed to be made. Attention to tea storage
solutions, the availability of different water temperatures
and allowing for adequate prep space proved to be invaluable
to the final tea house design and functionality.” |

“We, like most
people opening a coffee house, had limited funds. When major
decisions are involved and large dollars attached to those
decisions, I believe in allowing those best qualified to
guide us along the way. Design & Layout Services was
invaluable in many ways. They allowed us to concentrate on
other important details, so we actually opened sooner than
expected! Design & Layout Services kept us from making
mistakes related to design, drain and electrical placement,
mistakes we would have made if we did it on our own. I want
to thank you and your team for your expertise and assistance
in my project." |

“I was
continually impressed by Design & Layout Services'
unwavering support and sincere dedication to the success of
my project. Your staff is first rate, and with mine being a
start-up business, the depth and scope of their expertise in
all aspects of coffee and tea house operations was
invaluable to me. I would recommend them without reservation
to anyone opening a café, coffee or tea bar.” |

"One of my first
concerns in requesting your services was the distances
involved. Kitimat is an extremely long way from Minnesota.
Today's technology is great - faxes and e-mails, make your
services so convenient. On one occasion, I received three
floor plan revisions within hours! Your experience in the
coffee business and your professional approach made your
service invaluable. I found your willingness to listen and
educate us on the logical reasons for the layout was a true
blessing. I know you will be a large part of our success." |

“We did not have
a clue as to how to go about starting this business. We had
tried to work with a local company, but it took them forever
to get a preliminary drawing, and when they finally did,
they left out important pieces of equipment. Your expertise
made things a lot easier on us. You even talked to the
health department in Granville County to find out about our
specific rules and regulations. We could not be more pleased
with your services. Thanks again for all your help!” |
