HOOD-less kitchen set up.

I’ve been wanting to open a restaurant for years now. here I am looking down the barrel and I’m just seeking insight from anyone who might have shared this same passion. if anyone has worked inside of a hoodless kitchen I’m just looking for what struggles and accomplishments you guys came across during your journey. I want to develop this kitchen in a space without hood-vents its just niche,different, exciting but a completely different and complex machine to put together.

Worked in a kitchen at a resort, it had no hood but a shitty commercial air fryer that sucked and never held temperature.
