Plate It Up

Plate It Up

Who watches Hells Kitchen? Myself, I’m totally addicted. Just to have a small glimpse of what it must be like in a swanky but stressful kitchen is just candy. The reoccuring theme of all restaurants is efficiency. Everything from the people to the equipment needs to cater to that or the whole system collapses. That’s why the Platewait system is an ingenious solution.

And this is not the only reason that made Zaha Hadid stand out of the crowd, and become one of the most creative living architects.
