Our values- 30 years in the making

Picture

Whether this is your first restaurant project or your tenth, McDonnell & Associates promises to be there during every step of the design and construction phase to assist where necessary. As would be expected from the best, each project is given the individual attention it deserves so that no matter the obstacle the project can be completed on budget and on time. But don't take our word for it, just read what past clients have had to say about our services.

One of the reasons for our success in the foodservice design industry is our values; we value honesty in all phases of the project, hard work and commitment to our clients' goals, as well as a desire to make the whole experience enjoyable.

We look forward to demonstrating how our experience and values can help guide your next project to become the success it deserves to be.
