Special components
Parts developed for a specific operational need.
EPLACE DESIGN · Food Service
Every great experience starts somewhere.
Behind it are dozens of details that need to work, every day. That is where we help.
Experiência e operação
Behind every good experience is an operation that works.
A dessert may last a few minutes.
A memorable experience can last much longer.
For that to happen, equipment, components, spaces and processes need to work together — every day.
- 01
Choose
The experience starts before the order.
- 02
Prepare
The team turns product and process into care.
- 03
Serve
The right detail helps service flow.
- 04
Share
What happens at the counter reaches people.
- 05
Operate
Behind the scenes, everything needs to work together.
For those in front of the counter, everything looks simple.
For those behind it, we know it is not.
EPLACE DESIGN
We work in the space between the experience and the operation.
We develop components, accessories and physical solutions that help Food Service companies improve what already exists, solve what is not working yet and create what is not available off the shelf.

Necessidades reais
Anyone working in Food Service knows these challenges.
Often, the problem is not the main equipment. It is the detail that needs to work better every day.
- A part that is not available off the shelf.
- Equipment that needs to be adapted.
- A solution that works but could work better.
- A need repeated across several locations.
- A component that needs to be reproduced.
- An idea that has not become a product yet.
Pequenos componentes
Sometimes, the difference is in the details.
A part that fits better.
A support that is easier to clean.
A component that lasts longer.
A solution that makes daily work easier.
A good component does not draw attention. It simply works. That is exactly why we enjoy developing it.
Da necessidade ao produto
What can we develop with you?
When the standard solution does not work, we start from the real need and build something that makes sense for the operation.
Adaptations
When equipment or a structure needs to work differently.
Stainless steel and aluminium solutions
Components and assemblies designed for professional environments.
Part reproduction and improvement
We study an existing part to reproduce, adapt or improve it.
Prototypes
We build the first model to test before producing a quantity.
Small and medium runs
Consistent production of an approved solution.
Food Service
Especially for frozen dessert operations.
Ice cream shops, gelaterias, açaí shops and other dessert operations combine product, equipment, display and service in a very particular way.
When a need has no ready-made solution, we can help develop what is missing.

Operação
We also see the operation through its details.

Como trabalhamos
Development also means talking, observing and testing.
Engineering appears at the right moment: as the means to turn an operational need into something that can be tested, adjusted and produced.
- 01
Understand
First, we listen and observe.
- 02
Think
We explore possibilities.
- 03
Develop
We turn the idea into something tangible.
- 04
Test
We see what works and what needs to change.
- 05
Adjust
We improve the details.
- 06
Produce
When it is ready, we manufacture it.
Crescimento
A solution that starts in one location can grow with the operation.
We develop the first unit without losing sight of repetition, consistency and future uses.

Como começar
You do not need to arrive with a finished project.
It can be an idea, a photograph, an existing part, a drawing, a video showing the problem, or simply an explanation of what needs to work better.

Food Service
Who can we help?
Networks and franchises
To adapt, improve and standardize solutions between locations.
Dessert operations
Ice cream shops, gelaterias, açaí shops, coffee shops and patisseries.
Growing companies
When a solution needs to support new formats and locations.
Equipment manufacturers
When a specific component or assembly needs development.
Studios and partners
Architecture, design and rollout teams that need a special-component partner.
Real projects
A real problem. A solution developed for the operation.
This space will feature real sector projects only when photographs, information and publication permission are available. We do not use conceptual images to represent completed work.

Let’s talk about what you need.
You do not need to know exactly how to solve it. Tell us what is happening and, if you can, show us a photo. We will begin by understanding it together.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you develop parts that do not exist yet?
Yes. We can start from a need, idea, drawing, existing part or other available material to assess development.
Do I need a finished project?
No. The first step is to understand the need and assess the best path.
Do you work with stainless steel?
Yes. EPLACE DESIGN develops and manufactures solutions using stainless steel and other materials suited to the application.
Can you reproduce an existing part?
We can assess the existing part and study its reproduction, adaptation or improvement.
Do you support companies with several locations?
Yes. This can be especially relevant when a solution needs to be repeated, standardized or adapted across locations.
Do you manufacture small quantities?
Depending on the solution and processes involved, we can assess prototypes and small or medium runs.
In the end, everything needs to work for someone.
For the person preparing.
For the person serving.
For the person managing.
And especially for the person on the other side of the counter.
From need to product.
