• Appropriate ceiling details for restaurant room definition and acoustics.
• Wall coverings, wall decor, and architectural detail to add character to the restaurant's space.
• Lighting selections to create a distinct mood and atmosphere in the restaurant.
• Flooring -- tile, carpet or wood -- that changes the look and feel of the restaurant's space.
• New chairs, booths or table styles for a fresh restaurant dining approach.
• Window treatments to add warmth and dimension to the restaurant.
• Distinctive bars, open kitchens and fireplaces to add drama and excitement to the restaurant design.
• Tabletops -- china, glassware, flatware, candle lamps, and linen selections which enhance the restaurant's dining experience.

"People are going out not only to eat at restaurants, but to be entertained by their surroundings," says Ed Gerhardt, head of the restaurant supply design group. "Each moment in a restaurant is important." Armed with the resources, background and experience of five full-time designers, the talent of United Design Group is changing the experience of dining out. Their process consists of an initial consultation with the restaurant supply organization where concepts and themes are discussed, followed by site visits where field measurements and photos are taken. Architectural drawings including elevations and seating plans are constructed along with color renderings and layouts. Color Boards which coordinate fabrics, finishes, seating surfaces and design elements round out the the presentation of the project.

"Because we work along with the engineers and sales staff at TriMark United East, we have better control," says Ed. The resources available to them are extensive. Because TriMark United East also sells carpet, furnishings, tile and lighting fixtures, the customer's benefit from the convenience of having just one place to shop for all of their foodservice needs. "We have the ability to manage and come in on budget," says Ed. Other hospitality design firms create a recipe, but then the customer has to go shop elsewhere for the many ingredients. At United Design Group we work for the client's benefit. We not only have the recipe to bake the cake, we have the ingredients, too."
