Case: Guac'N'Go - Mexican takeaway
Faez and Ali came into our showroom one day, where they told us about their thoughts and ideas for a takeaway business they wanted to create. The first idea was not the one that was realized, but that is often the case when you want to start something in the restaurant industry.
We were allowed to be on the sidelines along the way and we got an insight into the entire process from start to finish. This involved, among other things, that we came out to their new premises and measured and made drawings with proposals for interior design. It was adjusted several times along the way as the concept became sharper.
Guac'N'Go is a Tex-Mex-style Mexican takeaway, where the focus is on burritos and tacos. But you will also find several other delicious snacks and dishes. The food is made fresh every day, which you can also see if you follow them instagram .
The challenge and the solution
The concept behind Guac'N'Go was in itself a challenge, as it required not only a salad counter but also a hot counter for keeping meat warm. Here the customer wanted 3 x GN 1/1 bain marie (water bath) integrated into the counter.
We solved it with a tailor-made solution, where we took three individual bain marie water baths and then had a steel specialist integrate them into a stainless steel table to measure, so that it matched the saladette next to it.
As the buffet line had to face the customer, it was important that a sneeze screen was made over the salad and bain marie table. Here we found a standard solution from the manufacturer of the salad counter, of which we ordered an extra one to mount in the customized warming table next to it. It gives a completely uniform look throughout the front counter. In addition, we also installed a cutting board in the same design so that you cannot see at all that the cold and hot buffet are two completely different solutions.
Machinery and equipment
We naturally supplied a lot of other equipment for the project.
Steel fixtures such as work tables with base cabinets, floor stand for griddle and table with sink is from Mareno, just like the griddle itself.
Storage refrigerator and storage freezer is from ColdLine, which excels in terms of quality and energy consumption - even at very competitive prices.
The dishwasher is from Miele, and stands out for being space-saving and easy to use, because it is a fresh water dishwasher with integrated water treatment and drying function. You must neither rinse the dishes before nor dry them after they come out.
In addition, we have delivered bottle fridge and some café furniture.
Website and visual identity
When you use Cosina for your project, you automatically get access to a range of services and specialist advice that we have brought together in-house. For example, we have helped Guac'N'Go in the right direction with marketing, by referring to our business partner who are specialists in graphic design and websites. That is exactly why they now have a super nice logo and a really nice website.
