About Us

Tallinger Associates is incorporated in the State of New York, as a Food Service planning and consulting firm.  Our Senior Consultants and Associates bring extensive track records in planning, design and project management to the growth and development of food service facilities.

We are creative, energetic and passionate in our efforts to assist clients.  We adapt readily to assignments such as master planning, strategic studies, and feasibility analysis...and we combine this work seamlessly with our core strength in conceptual planning, and the detailed effort required by architects toward design development, bid documents, construction administration, site services and contractor compliance.

Since many sectors of the Food Service Market frequently require management advisory services such as pre-design analysis and programmatic development, Tallinger Associates also forms strategic alliances with other specialists to combine leading edge expertise on management, growth strategy, and visual merchandising with our creative approach to planning and design.
