Did you know that the average American is now eating out at restaurants four to five times per week? During those 16 to 20 times a month that they dine out, they are spending about $230 per month. Obviously, now is a great time to get in on an investment in the commercially prepared meals business. When you are looking to build a high-end restaurant, you need to construct a space that avoids common building pitfalls. When it comes to restaurant construction companies that are a step ahead of the competition, Stovall Construction has the experience you are looking for. To get a better idea of how we will save you time, money and increase your profits from the beginning, take a look at the restaurant construction tips for success we have compiled below.
Risk factors behind high-end restaurant construction
When we work with clients on high-end restaurant building projects, we bring our experience to the table. This means being involved with meticulous planning from the beginning. Some of the areas that we observe with caution are:
- Picking the location
- Considering local weather patterns or climate and how that affects building plans
- Overall budget expectations
- Construction timeline
- Kitchen and cuisine themes
- Local laws and restrictions
Building to appeal to your target audience
We also work to help our commercial building clients to completely understand the needs of their target audience. This can include their eating habits, lifestyle, age and budget. All of these facets affect the plans for building a new restaurant. For instance, a high-end restaurant that targets customers that are older than 65 will have special building needs that are centered around disability accessibility. Other building features that can help potential customers living with disabilities feel comfortable include appropriate space to navigate in a wheelchair without feeling crowded by other customers or staff.
Interior and exterior design focus begin early
Creating a welcoming environment can vary greatly based on the target interests of your customers, and we help walk you through this process. After all, incorporating these themes is central to the entire building process, and we want to make sure that we are on the same page with your ideal outcome. In particular, customers can feel uncomfortable if there is awkward lighting, generic architecture, crowded seating arrangements or outdated color schemes. We work diligently with you to create an interior and exterior that appeals to your future customers, but there is much more to the commercial construction process than this.
Avoiding the biggest commercial restaurant building pitfall
When constructing a high-end restaurant, it is easy to work with a random team of contractors to put together a new building. However, one of the main issues you may deal with if you do not have experienced commercial contractors working with you is a lack of official paperwork approval. For instance, if you worked with a sub-contractor that does not have the proper credentials for plumbing, building inspectors from the local government may delay your grand opening until a thorough investigation is done. Of course, when you work with Stovall Construction, we make sure our entire team is bonded, insured and certified. We also make sure our teams only work with approved permits.
