BOB KUCHINSKI

Bob Kuchinski, in 30 years as a design director, has received numerous restaurant industry awards for his innovative and highly adaptable designs. He specializes in designing kitchens with energy-efficient features, which is evidenced in his prototypical design for LYFE Kitchen. Bob’s extensive knowledge of ergonomic and efficient design strategies also guided the Synergy team in the development of a prototypical kitchen for Sonny’s Real Pit Bar-B-Cue, a 127-unit chain. The new, more compact kitchen, with tightened work stations and reduced steps needed to work multiple stations, facilitated a reduced overall footprint for the store by 25 percent without impacting performance.

A cum laude graduate in architecture of Cal Poly Pomona, Bob credits his unique problem-solving skills and abilities to intense training and many years of practical application and experience.
