OUR WORK

Foodservice Design Industries Served

Primary Education

The role of food in primary education (K-12) environments is of the utmost importance. It is an opportunity to provide our children with the fuel they need to learn effectively and to establish an appetite for healthy food options. Our goal is to entice our children to eat healthier.

Higher Education

Colleges and universities of all sizes recognize that the food experience on campus is an amenity that the students and staff on campus value highly. The food experience must be flexible in food offerings, meal plan options, operational hours, and venue serving style.

Healthcare

RDG has provided design services within the healthcare market across the US. Our experience includes new-build hospitals, space renovation w/ program re-imagination, senior living facilities, and VA Medical Centers as well.

Culinary Education

As food and hospitality have grown in popularity through Food Network style television programming and social media exposure, Reitano Design Group (RDG) has helped lead the discussion of integrating advanced culinary offerings into a curriculum moving toward Career Technical Education (CTE).

Workplace

This is a growing market segment as more employers large and small are offering an on-site food experience. A well-planned food space adds to a positive corporate culture by promoting wellness, collaboration, and camaraderie. This amenity is proven to also lead to increased productivity for employees.

Hospitality

Hotels, restaurants, convention centers, and other venues offering food offerings are an essential part of any community. RDG has experience and expertise in understanding the goal of each venue and offering design services that bring value to the facility through their food program.

OUR DESIGN APPROACH

Our collaborative, research-driven design approach brings real value to the table. Value in designing efficient kitchens and aesthetically pleasing serving spaces. Value in delivering projects within budget. Most of all, we provide value by placing our client’s interests first through the practice of three unique disciplines: active listening, empathetic exploration, and visual discovery.

“Collaborating (because when you work with RDG its ALWAYS a collaboration) with Scott and everyone on his team is consistently a positive experience. Reitano Design Group always brings something new and innovative to each project - to the benefit of final design. Having worked with RDG for 15 years, I can vouch that they consistently exceed our expectations. They ensure that their solutions work well with the overall design concept of a building, while elevating dining experience for users and crafting a solution that makes the service provider happy.”

“Quest Food Management Services has been a proud partner of Reitano Design Group for the last five years. From large, complex remodels and new constructions to small, customized space enhancements, we have entrusted RDG with our highest profile facility projects. Their technical expertise and operational knowledge is second to none. Perhaps more importantly, their ability to serve as an extension of our organization’s mission, vision and values has made them one of the most valued partners we have ever worked with. They represent our interests with our clients with the same care, responsiveness and transparency we strive to exemplify ourselves.”

“I have worked on several Food Service facilities with RDG. Ranging from Primary Schools to Post Secondary. I always appreciate their ability to walk the owner through a process that exposes them to current industry trends while also working within a project budget.”

“Reitano Design Group remodeled our Kitchen & Servery in 2016. Their design made the COVID pandemic much easier to handle. It reduced traffic flow, provided social distancing in both our Café and kitchen, and increased efficiencies in our operation. I would definitely work with them again.”

“Reitano Design Group brings the ability to achieve next-level outcomes on new construction or renovation projects. They bring the necessary expertise and have the passion to work with equally passionate operators to make the school nutrition experience what our customers need and deserve. They are an integral part of the process and can collaborate with all the team players (architect, general contractor, equipment, interiors, signage, technology, more) to bring the client the resources they need to ensure the big-picture outcomes we want to achieve.”

“The one aspect that I am most impressed with is their (RDG’s) ability to listen to your concerns, offer suggestions on how to achieve your objectives, and then to deliver on their designs.”

“Reitano Design Group is a great partner to work with for food service design. They are passionate about what they do, responsive to both our clients and our team, and always working to stay current with new trends in delivering food products to K-12, Higher Education, and Commercial clients."
