Custom plancha grill for Allen’s Table with charcoal infrared grilling and precise thermal architecture

This project is a fully custom development for Allen’s Table in Wollerau. The goal was a professional plancha grill able to cook premium ingredients through charcoal infrared grilling, transfer strong roasting notes into the food and deliver a technical as well as visual standard at the highest level.

A bespoke plancha grill for a demanding hospitality environment

Allen’s Table stands for refined cuisine, strong flavour, genuine hospitality and a carefully curated restaurant experience in Wollerau. In such an environment, a standard appliance is not enough. What is required is a grill that performs on a professional level in taste, heat behaviour, construction quality and visual presence.

For that reason, this plancha grill was never treated as an off the shelf product. It was developed as an integrated part of a gastronomic concept. The system is designed to cook food through charcoal infrared heat, generate distinct roasting aromas and provide calm, controlled thermal behaviour across the full working surface.

Technical and material qualities of this system

Consistently premium stainless steel

The entire grill is fabricated in stainless steel 1.4404, including zones without direct food contact. Every component in contact with food is executed in stainless steel 1.4571. This creates maximum material consistency, corrosion resistance and a quality standard clearly above ordinary commercial kitchen solutions.

Real working surface for professional use

With a cooking area of 1000 × 400 mm, the system is built for real performance. The geometry supports productive use during service while providing enough area for controlled heat flow, clean handling and repeatable culinary output.

Swiss fabrication at the highest level

The entire construction is engineered and manufactured in Switzerland. This is reflected not only in execution quality, but in the combination of engineering depth, detailing, fabrication discipline and visual precision.

Thermal architecture powered by Revolit

The thermal architecture and therefore the efficiency of the plancha system were achieved through Revolit Class I. At the same time, the architecture remains adaptable towards future upgrades, especially in the direction of Class V RevoCORE. The result is a system that is not only high performing today, but strategically upgradeable tomorrow.

Plancha engineering for professional kitchens, charcoal infrared grill systems and thermally precise cooking surfaces

This bespoke plancha grill is a precise example of how professional kitchen design, interior ambition, material expertise and thermal development can be merged into one coherent object. The decisive factor is not shape alone, but the alignment of charcoal energy, infrared effect, material thickness, stainless steel quality, surface calm and day to day usability.

Search terms such as custom plancha grill, professional charcoal infrared grill, Swiss made plancha, premium restaurant plancha, stainless steel plancha for hospitality, thermally optimised cooking plate or custom grill system describe exactly the field in which this project is relevant. GFELLER DESIGN develops such systems not as decorative pieces, but as functional instruments with genuine structural and thermal substance.

Frequently asked questions about this plancha project

Why was only premium stainless steel used?

Because the project was intended to achieve more than a strong visual result. Hygiene, corrosion resistance, longevity and material consistency were all treated as non negotiable. The consistent use of 1.4404 and 1.4571 is part of that standard.

What is the role of thermal architecture here?

It defines how efficiently energy is transferred into the cooking surface, how evenly temperature responds and how controlled the system feels during operation. That is the real difference between a simple hot plate and a genuinely engineered cooking system.

Can the system be developed further?

Yes. The architecture is set up to work today with Revolit Class I while remaining adaptable towards Class V RevoCORE if higher thermal performance or different performance targets are required in the future.

Planning a plancha grill for hospitality, gastronomy or a bespoke kitchen environment?

We do not turn this into a standard appliance. We turn it into a thermally and structurally credible system with real material quality, a clear design language and professional performance.
