Restaurant decor and ambiance is vitally important for the overall business success of any restaurant. Diners enjoy spending time in a comfortable, unique environment and atmosphere. That is the creative and “fun” part of upfitting or renovating a restaurant. But what about all of the “back end” requirements? How will you manage cash flow through the restaurant upfit? What do you need to present for financing?
Ferrara|Buist is experienced in the design + build of restaurants. We can bring your creative visions and ideas to life for the front end of your restaurant. We can give you stylish curves, mood-altering colors and shapes, unique alcoves and dining nooks, and everything that is the “atmosphere” of your restaurant goal. Maybe even more important than the front end is what happens in the back end of your restaurant. This is where restaurant owners run into the snarls and pitfalls.
What are some unique requirements for restaurants that you haven’t considered?
- What are the ADA requirements?
- Is there natural gas service to the building?
- What is the current fire code?
- Is there sufficient water supply for the renovation?
- Do you need a grease trap?
- Are you required to have an Ansul System?
- How will you manage cash flow during construction?
- Can you help me find the right lender?
