Modern Kitchen - Multiple Outlets

The kitchen project of the Donautherme thermal baths in Ingolstadt: one cooking suite, three dining areas and up to 1,200 visitors a day.

Modern Kitchen - Multiple Outlets

A modern kitchen for multiple outlets is a solution in which one high-performance cooking suite serves several different dining areas at once – from free-flow dining through an à la carte restaurant to a bar. What such a project looks like in practice is shown by the kitchen of the Donautherme thermal baths in Ingolstadt.

Kitchen project – Donautherme thermal baths (April 2024)

There is something for everyone at the Donautherme: athletes can work out in the fitness centre, the thermal baths offer relaxation with a soothing massage, and families can enjoy the adventure pool. Culinary indulgence is provided by free-flow dining at the adventure pool, an à la carte restaurant in the sauna world and a pool bar in the new thermal baths.

The brief

  • the kitchen was to serve three dining areas, daily from 11:30 to 21:00 – at peak times the baths welcome up to 1,200 visitors,
  • the demands are high: the dishes in the free-flow dining area range from chips through sausages and frankfurters to chicken nuggets, while the à la carte restaurant offers variations of salads, pasta and steak plates – the cooking suite had to handle the whole varied range,
  • the cooking island had to be as powerful as it was robust.

The solution

  • for maximum performance, the customer chose the System 850 range with a one-piece hygienic top,
  • the cooking suite has two induction zones, 4 fryers, two electric holding wells for keeping food warm and four griddle plates with smooth and ribbed stainless steel surfaces,
  • the one-piece hygienic top of the modular cooking island ensures maximum cleanliness and easy cleaning,
  • the flexibility of the solution ensures that the different dining areas are optimally supplied with the appropriate range of dishes,
  • thanks to its smooth surfaces, rounded edges and H3 substructures, the Ambach cooking island is a good choice for the spa kitchen from a hygiene point of view as well,
  • planning and installation took place in close cooperation between the supplier and the designers, and the project was completed very smoothly.
