We came across an incredibly beautiful but challenging space that would not have easily met standard Health Department requirements. From the very beginning, IRC Design provided innovative solutions and expert guidance, giving us a clear roadmap from lease signing through grand opening. Their knowledge, creativity, and attention to detail helped turn a complex project into a successful reality. Thank you, IRC Design.
We are beyond grateful to IRC for their incredible leadership and creativity in designing the kitchen at California SMASH.

The result is a beautiful, functional space that will serve as the heartbeat of our venue for years to come.”
Thank you again for coming to speak with the Foodservice Facilities Design class at Cornell University’s Nolan School of Hotel Administration. It was incredibly helpful for the students to hear how you think through a project—from identifying priorities to weighing constraints and trade-offs. Your ability to break down complex decisions into practical, actionable steps really resonated with them. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us!
We partnered with Ray at IRC Design, and they absolutely delivered above and beyond. From the initial concept phase to final execution, their team demonstrated deep industry expertise, exceptional responsiveness, and a rare ability to balance operational efficiency with a guest-centric experience.
