Embarking yourself into the odyssey of restaurant construction can be frightening. Sometimes you don’t know what to expect when facing challenges and time constraints such as bad weather or a delay in the delivery of your kitchen utensils. However, many of these variables are foreseeable to reach the perfect timeline.
Probably the core element of any successful project is good preparation and planning. After defining what type of restaurant you would like to open, whether it’s a small take-out place or a big, fancy restaurant, knowing what you want and envisioning that is key for your future business.
Restaurant construction implies a team effort. Keep this in mind when you’re creating your vision board or writing down ideas. You must remember you’re working alongside multiple teams of engineers, contractors, architects, and designers, also with limited budgets and resources. That means there are multiple factors that may affect the time and trajectory of your project. Create a timeline with all these variables in mind and with the understanding that things may not go exactly the way you want.
Think ahead. Ask yourself the important questions: during which season am I planning to construct my restaurant? Who am I working with? What’s my budget and how am I going to spend it? Which paperwork do I need to fill out first? Questions are really useful to the designing of back-up plans, which can aid to respond quickly when problems present themselves.
As stated above, the type of restaurant you’re planning to construct is going to define your time schedule. A takeout-style restaurant generally takes about 2 months to build out and install materials. A fast-casual restaurant can take up to 3 or 4 months. A full-service casual or fine-dining establishment can take anywhere from 4 to 6 months to complete. In general, you should expect no more than 6 months in total.
The restaurant construction timeline may vary due to some of the following issues:
Restaurants need to abide by many health and fire regulations that have to be satisfied both pre and post-construction. Check which are the necessary licenses and permits to open your restaurant before starting your project. Following all regulations on infrastructure and food is necessary to prevent you from receiving heavy fines.
