Open Kitchen Restaurant—Grad Project

description

33% of the average B.C food budget is now spent on restaurant food, the highest rate of eating out in the country. —Ronald Colman, Cost of Obesity in British Columbia 

With increasing rate of obesity and overweight in our BC's population, the question becomes how can we get people to step in their kitchen and start cooking again.

So the idea is, why don’t we provide these people a platform where they can enjoy cooking and eating while socializing with families and friends. Open Kitchen Restaurant is a one of a kind restaurant where customers are invite to cook their own meals. The interior and menu / recipe are design to facilitate cooking and conversation between customers.

The menu / recipe is a two-sided (front—menu, back—recipe) sheet of paper in portable and robust binders. The paper can be taken out and customers can cook with them or personalize the binder
