The comfort of employees is one of the main criteria for success of any company. Office lighting, temperature and humidity, as well as the ability to eat and relax are some of the main points for employees. A person who feels comfortable will give the job his/her all. And since the food, as the fabric of life and a source of pleasure, is very important for any person and not everyone has the opportunity to refresh themselves in a catering establishment or pack their lunch, it is necessary to rent an office with a ready-made kitchen or make it single-handed for these purposes.

A comfortable kitchen is not only a place for a snack and comfortable rest, but also a certain marker for your client, applicant and employees. The commercial real estate lease with a kitchen will attest your care about comfort of your employees and positively affect the reputation of your company.

What should be an office kitchen? If you rent an office in a business center, a ready-made kitchen with all the nuances is commonly present there. However, if you decide to make the kitchen single-handed, you need to think carefully about everything. First of all you should decide on the size of the commercial property. You should consider a large office rent for these purposes. Rental of premises 70 sq m is suitable for a small business (up to 10 people), where 25-30 sq m. can be separated for the kitchen.

Once you have decided on the premise, you need to think about a place for the kitchen. You should not place the kitchen near the director's office, meeting room, reception, restroom and smoking room. Ideally, the kitchen should be located in a place with windows. In addition, according to sanitary standards, a water supply system and a ventilation system for connecting the hood must be installed in the kitchen.

After showdown with the water supply and hood, you should think about the kitchen planning and decoration. The only thing that matters is that the office kitchen should be functional, simple, concise and light. Furniture should be compact, mobile, reliable, and durable and not “erode” the space and, among other things it should hold a sufficient amount of dishes, kitchen items and the necessary equipment.

Once the decor and furniture were determined, you need to purchase equipment. At a minimum, the kitchen should include a cooler, an electric kettle, a microwave oven, a coffee machine and a refrigerator. If it financially possible, you should also purchase a dishwasher, toaster, compact bar and garbage shredder.

So voila! Your kitchen is ready. Of course, a single-handed kitchen making is certainly a fiddly idea and you can find a ready office for rent with already made kitchen. But if you, after all, take the plunge, you should consider offers of rent without intermediaries to save your money, when looking for commercial property and immediately rent a large office or look for a rent of the entire floor.
