You probably want your production to flow, just like a factory floor. You don't want people trying to go around each other and getting paths crossed when trying to get food from the coolers or freezer, you want one area where people are preparing food and can pass it off to the waiters without crossing the path of the cooks or busboys. You want the chef to have access to all the ingredients and pots and pans easily accessed.
You want each person to be doing what they do best and not mixing routines.
Basically you lay out the floor pan so that the flow of food from the refrigerators and pantries and food processors goes directly to the chef and then handed off to the preparer and then to where the waiters can get to the plates and deliver them without traipsing thru the kitchen
Google Sketchup will work very nicely. It's the program I use to design cabinets for clients. IT's FREE!! Good Program!!

Designing a kitchen is as much a science as it is an art. Knowing the recommended measurements to use when planning the project can make all the difference in the final outcome.
Here are important guidelines for your kitchen design project.
1. For efficiency, the work triangle (the space between the sink, refrigerator, and stove) should measure 26' or less with no single side longer than 9', or less than 4'.
2. In kitchens smaller than 150 sq. ft., opt for at least 13' of base cabinets, 12' of wall cabinets, and 11' of countertop. In kitchens which are larger, go with at least 16' of base cabinets, 15 1/2' of wall cabinets, and 16 1/2' of countertop.

An efficient work triangle in the kitchen doesn't have to be equilateral but it does help to keep it reasonably close. Measure the distance between the 3 major work areas, sink, cook top, and refrigerator. Total the distance between the three. The optimum distance should be between 12-21 feet. In an equilateral triangle that's 4 to 7 feet per side. There are other things to consider such as how many people will be cooking at the same time and is there enough space to accommodate all persons comfortably.
I would search into google: "ikea kitchen software", they have a great piece of 3D software for kitchen designing.
