Rootz
Location: Guam Plaza Hotel, Tumon, Guam
Square Footage: 6,000
Market Segment: Restaurants & Cafeterias
Rootz was formally a 3 meal restaurant that offered a basic breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. The owner wanted to create a new concept and hired a new chef to help lead the development of new menus and work with the design team to create a new kitchen. The concept was to create a series of exhibition cooking areas that fed to a counter that for breakfast and lunch was setup to handle buffet service and as a waiter pick-up station during dinner. The exhibition cooking consisted of three areas; island cooking suite, teppanyaki station and a dual fuel (gas-wood) robata grill. The dining area was refreshed with new tables and chairs and finishes to complete the makeover for the restaurant.
