“Carlyle’s Corporate Catering recently, in the spring and summer of 2019, partnered with Mercer University to renovate the student dining facility at Mercer’s  Atlanta Campus. Joey Navarro, with Whitestone Food Service Design, was the equipment and layout consultant hired to redesign and spec a totally new facility. Joey worked closely with us as we navigated the project through the Dekalb County permitting process, build out, and equipment placement. A Which Wich Superior Sandwich franchise service line was incorporated into the project and Mr. Navarro blended the 2 operations together. We were very satisfied with the end product and would recommend Whitestone Design for company’s future food service project.”

“Whitestone did an excellent in designing our kitchen.  They had the expertise to propose ideas based on our menu, kitchen layout and restaurant objectives.  Additionally, they had the professionalism to deal with some very strong personalities including the owner, general manager, general contractor and two feisty architects.  As the restaurant concept evolved based on structural limitations, they demonstrated superb flexibility and speed in generating new layouts and coordinating the changes through the key personnel.  We are lucky to have found Joey and his team.  I highly recommend their services.
