months,” he says. Küçüker and Katori put their heads together. With a wide variety of restaurant concepts to
support, a significant amount of equipment was required to meet many different demands. It was crucial to have a central point of contact to oversee how the entire F&B ecosystem would fit together. “Although we had to set up kitchens for external restaurant groups, they were always under our direction and guidance of what to do,” says Katori, who assumed the coordinating role. “Otherwise, it would have been really difficult and
complicated. We made sure that all the kitchens were multi-purpose so if a concept was to change next month, the kitchen could be adapted. Tat was our main goal from the beginning and was very important in our talks with chefs: all kitchens had to be fully functional, not just for one purpose.” Similarly, Küçüker adopted a coordinated approach
to sourcing the kitchen equipment package that would service the resort’s numerous F&B areas. Key equipment was supplied by a few large companies: Ambach provided the cooking blocks, Bongard supplied many of the bakery systems, Carpigiani for the ice cream machines, and Polaris handled the refrigeration. “Tis approach was beneficial to everyone involved,” Küçüker explains. “In such a large-scale

project, having uniformity of refrigeration products, for example, means users can easily adapt to the technology since they are working with similar equipment across the entire facility. Plus, the uniformity of the products meant we could provide a much better service in terms of spare parts and after sales service.” Polaris supplied over 400 items, including roll-
in blast freezers, reach-in blast freezers, storage cabinets and counters. “My first priority when choosing equipment is always the ratio between the quality and the cost. Polaris is one of the best manufacturers in Europe when it comes to striking this balance,” says Küçüker.
Prioritizing the project For Küçüker, the trickiest element of the project – the largest he has done with Maxx Royal – was meeting the client’s strict time frame. “Normally, it would take about a year to source and install the equipment for a project like this, but we managed to do it in five months,” he says. Here, his long-term relationships with equipment manufacturers like Polaris came into play. “We had to have close communication with all of our major suppliers, explaining the importance of the project to them and asking them to speed up their delivery times. Tankfully, as we had built up mutual
