3 Tips for Renovating Restaurants on a Budget
3

• Renovating a restaurant is as important as
  changing its menu. Patrons don't just eat with
  their mouths, but also with their eyes and with
  what they feel, and giving the restaurant a new
  look and feel answers that need to feel like they
  are dining somewhere new. So without further ado,
  here are some ways to take on this major project,
  without breaking the bank

1. Board up like a pro
5

• To prevent a logistical nightmare, take the time
  to board up the restaurant strategically.
  Contrary to popular belief, there is no need to
  close the restaurant altogether for as long as
  you plan ahead. You can renovate the restaurant
  in parts and to do this, your contractor should
  be able to achieve this properly. The board up
  should be up to the ceiling and should have its
  own entrance. It's basically like building an
  impenetrable fortress inside the restaurant.
  Nothing should be able to come out or come in the
  board up. You can decorate the board up façade so
  it meshes in the interiors of the restaurant as
  well.
• Speaking of contractors, make sure to hire a team
  with a project manager. Remember, time is of the
  essence and having a professional work for you
  solves half of the problem.

2. Look at other restaurants
7

• Instead of shopping for new equipment, look at
  existing or closed restaurants. These places are
  surely looking to liquidate their wares including
  plates, forks, bowls, and other cooking items
  aside from the stainless steel equipment. The
  best part is that they will sell this to you in
  bulk and in a complete set, thus giving you the
  chance to get an ample discount on what is
  usually a very expensive shopping expedition if
  it's all brand new.

3. Be smart with the fit outs
9

• Although you can go a bit more creative on the
  furnishings, the best way to save on renovations
  is by adhering to standard sizes. This helps you
  plan out the space smarter and you can be sure
  the equipment will fit, with no need for costly
  customization. Apply this on the whole restaurant
  with the help of 3D rendering to make the sizing
  precise and accurate, including lighting
  fixtures, restrooms, kitchen, and point of sale
  areas and you will really see a considerable drop
  in your budget needs.

Doing so is also very sustainable as it makes the
maintenance of the place a complete breeze as you
do not need to search far and wide for items to
fix your restaurant with.
