Basic Kitchen Layout

This document discusses basic kitchen layout principles and shapes. It explains that the work triangle, with stations for preparation/cooking, food storage, and cleanup, should have a perimeter less than 26 feet for efficient traffic flow. It then describes the six primary kitchen layout shapes: U-shaped, L-shaped, with island option, G-shaped, corridor/galley, and single wall/pullman. Each shape is suited for different needs based on space and family size.
