"Scott Levine's previous operations experiences as a chef, his culinary degree and international design consulting experience makes all the difference. His designs are aligned with ever more challenging development budgets, take into account the unique requirements of the different hotel brands we develop and operate, and reflect the necessary attention to detail while considering the need for functionality and aesthetics. His designs are never a candidate for ‘chef’s gone wild.’ The Design Difference is the exclusive provider of foodservice and laundry design and consulting for our hotels and restaurants because, simply, they get it."

—Dave Pollin, President/CEO Buccini/Pollin Group

"It quickly becomes evident Scott knows restaurant operations and design, whether by his comprehensive focus on kitchen planning, or by an uncanny ability to assess and design for the needs of his client. Scott not only meets challenges and objectives, but exceeds expectations and sets an excellent example of what a designer should be."

—Derek Crossley, Principal / Applied Edacity, Inc.

"I can't thank you enough for all the work you've done to date on our project. I speak for both of us when I tell you that your professionalism, timeliness, knowledge and personality made working with you so enjoyable — easily you are our favorite component through the entire process."

—Susan Holt, Co-Owner, CulinAerie
