Dave's Hot Chicken, Riyadh
A complete kitchen water treatment train for a new quick-service restaurant: consistent treated water for food prep, beverages and equipment protection from day one.
Project overview
Dave's Hot Chicken required a reliable water treatment solution for a new restaurant in Riyadh, supporting food preparation, beverage quality and long-term protection of kitchen equipment. The system had to deliver consistent treated water from day one, aligned with food safety and brand standards.
Key challenges
- Elevated TDS and hardness in the municipal supply
- High scale risk across dishwashers, steamers, ice machines and beverage equipment
- Consistent water quality needed across every kitchen application
- A compact, low-maintenance plant suitable for a high-demand restaurant
Solution implemented
- Sediment filtration for particulate removal
- Activated carbon filtration for chlorine, taste and odour
- Water softening to stop scale at source
- Reverse osmosis for controlled TDS reduction where required
- Capacity engineered to the restaurant's full operational demand
The outcome
The kitchen opened with treated water at every point of use, scale risk under control across its equipment line-up, and a compact plant the team does not have to think about. Brand standards met, from the first service onward.
