About Keith Short.
My passion for creative foodservice solutions is exemplified by a right-sized approach to each unique client and/or stakeholder. I endorse a function-and-flow design aesthetic allowing the front and back of house to complement each other, whether for a sit-down dining or a positive grab-and-go experience.I have an intentionally diverse background, which enables me to approach each project with a specific design solution. Before transferring to San Francisco, I started managing successful projects in Sydney, Australia. In addition, I completed a 4-year apprenticeship and qualified as a 5-Star Hotel Chef under the Ritz Carlton Hotel Group. One my highlights within my cooking career was being a Senior Chef De Partie for the Sydney Olympics catering for the International Olympic Committee and their sponsors.My previous culinary experience, coupled with my design qualifications, ensures sustainable and dynamic designs that provide unique client-focused solutions. My portfolio of award-winning foodservice design projects includes designs for “Branded” Airline Lounges, Education, Healthcare, Corporate, and Stadium sectors.
Experience
Design Principal
Aug 2023 — Present · Boca Raton, FL, US
Consulting, designing, and project managing the development of foodservice facilities from concept to completion, in a methodical way. My aim is to facilitate clients with their design, and construction approach, to ensure the facility is efficient and sustainable.A new or remodel facility is a welcome challenge, complete with a variety of requirements to optimize the available space, in which I consider this as the \"jigsaw puzzle\" of the design. This is where my speed, accuracy, and meticulous approach (as a qualified designer and qualified five-star chef) serves you and your client’s best interests.Whether your space is a Fortune 500 HQ, an event center, a stadium, or a temporary pop-up, my knowledge, and experience will be an asset to any design/project team.
