Our Lead Design Team
Steve Stern
Building relationships is one of the things I enjoy most about my work in foodservice design. I understand the importance of listening to the needs of my clients and I appreciate the challenges of working through the design process together.
Even after more than three decades in this business, I still get a thrill out of introducing operators to new and efficient ways to serve their customers.
Eric Chaplick
Collaboration is the key to a successful project, which is something I’ve learned in over 30 years working in this industry.
I approach each new job with a fresh outlook and work to understand the clients’ needs to create a foodservice design that exceeds their expectations, as well as their customers’. Taking time to work on the details up front ensures we meet expectations and deliver on time and meet budget.
Dennis Hahn
I’ve had the opportunity to work in both foodservice operation and construction management, which allows me to understand the end user needs and collaborate with all partners involved as the project moves through construction and installation.
I love working with the client to create a design that meets their goals. A well-thought-out, complete design reduces conflict in the field and keeps the project within budget.
Tony Blume
Early in my career I practiced architectural design and architectural project management. This experience, coupled with a detailed understanding of foodservice design, allows me to offer clients unique insights and comprehensive expertise on every project.
The aspects of my job that appeal to me most are the opportunity to solve problems and find innovative ways to communicate the best possible solutions to our clients.
Shannon Knauss
Foodservice design is rewarding because I collaborate with clients to meet their unique needs and see the results—happy clients and successful projects.
My background in foodservice operations gives me a unique perspective, enabling me to work seamlessly with both front-line and behind-the-scenes teams. Every project is a chance to create something special, and I’m proud to be part of each one.
