St. Louis Restaurant Consulting & Design Services

HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT
Trying to make a name for your bar or restaurant in a city already known for many foods (such as toasted ravioli, gooey butter cake, and ice cream cones) requires more than just a good recipe. You need a dining area design that draws in potential customers, as well as a kitchen layout that can easily handle even your busiest times.
When you come to the Earth City Rapids branch, you can rest assured that we will be with you from concept to completion, using a combination of our experience, thorough training, and (of course!) your input to make your dream a reality.
Service Area
Our consulting and design services extend throughout the Greater St. Louis area and neighboring regions — typically within a four-hour drive of our Earth City, MO office. This includes major cities like Kansas City, Columbia, Springfield, Jefferson City, Cape Girardeau, Quincy, and others across Missouri, Southern Illinois, Eastern Kansas, and Western Kentucky.
Whether you’re launching a new concept or renovating an existing space, we’re ready to support your project with the expertise and creativity it deserves.
