Speeding up MKN kitchen designs for dealer partners

Day: July 5, 2022

Have you been introduced to the new MKN DigitalKitchen configurator yet?

This new, interactive kitchen configurator tool can cut up to three weeks from the typical design process for dealers and consultants.

For the first time, we can work collaboratively with dealers and end users in real-time to develop kitchen designs using MKN’s modular and bespoke professional cooking solutions. It means:

  • Live drawing of 3D designs using MKN products using simple ‘drag and drop’ functionality
  • The ability to change configuration in seconds to suit requirements
  • We can produce budgets, visuals, CAD drawings, electrical information and specification lists all at the touch of a button
  • Dealers can download drawings via PDF or CAD drawing
  • End users can share a 3D plan of the kitchen design via QR code, so everybody in the business can have easy access to initial designs

“This is a unique tool in the market that fast tracks the design process and takes out a huge chunk of work for our distributor partners and their end user customers. We can sit down together either in a room or online and design an MKN kitchen in real time, before providing all the resources needed to share and approve that design.”

With MKN DigitalKitchen, we can:

  • Give customers the ability to interact with their own design process
  • Create 3D visuals, offering a far better representation than a traditional 2D drawing
  • Make it easier for customers to share designs with stakeholders
  • Cut the need to go back and forth with changes – saving up to three weeks on the typical design process

Can anyone recommend an on site fabricator. I need to get a table cut down 200mm and have a profile fitted to the edge. The site is in Leatherhead. Thank you.

  1. We have many fabricators we use, that can come down to site and do the works required. Challenge and issue is they are all fully booked until September!  Cutting down 200mm and making good, however not always that easy and would need hot works! Happy to assist as work in that area and can do a site visit.

We are looking to partner with a new Out of Hours emergency breakdown service operation (inc. trade-critical items, not just gas leaks/floods etc).

We would ideally need nationwide cover – but 99% of the work will come from London.

Can anyone suggest a reliable company with spare capacity? We have tried Total QSR but they are unable to continue supporting us due to sheer volume of calls, both in and out of NWH. Thank you.
