Phil Rivera

Phil has been in the foodservice industry for several years. While still in school for computer-aided drafting, Phil joined a company called Byczek Enterprises. His first project was creating the equipment layout and electrical, plumbing, and mechanical drawings for a new Wendy’s location. He recalls it was a very intimidating yet rewarding project. 

​

His role includes CAD layout, working with customers and their architects on the initial layout and design, creating specifications once the layout is complete, job site visits to confirm the various trades have located water, drain, gas, and electrical in the appropriate locations, and site visits during equipment installations to ensure correct placement and issue avoidance. He also handles quoting and purchasing, coordinates the delivery of the equipment to the warehouse, and schedules the delivery and installation.

​

 “I enjoy watching our projects go from conceptual design into a fully operational establishment. Seeing the restaurant staff in awe when they walk in for the first time is always rewarding.” 

​

Phil participates in new product training with manufacturers and stays current with challenges and opportunities in the industry for culinary professionals and upcoming foodservice trends. He attends industry shows and conferences; if there are new equipment launches, solutions, or industry advances, he knows about them.

​

His passion for knowledge and desire to share it with his customers makes him a valuable player in our industry.
