Restaurant Remodeling & Renovation

The restaurant business is often described as one of the hardest industries to break into, because it depends on many factors. In the Manhattan area, the food is obviously a large draw, but with the wide array of eateries to choose from, what makes people want to patronize your establishment is the atmosphere.

Restaurant design that is truly compelling is like any other art and calls upon a fine and subtle touch. However, before you dive right into a commercial renovation, sit down and discuss with your NYKB consultant as to which direction you see your restaurant moving in. Would you like a simple update to your existing space or do you want a complete overhaul of the vibe and appearance of your restaurant? (You can make many customers feel like they are visiting an entirely new restaurant with a simple renovation with a few additions to a menu.) Fundamentally, restaurant renovations not only aim to convey to customers the type of cuisine you serve, or set the mood, but also to maximize your space, where you can accommodate more seating and increase traffic flow when entering and exiting the restaurant—while still seamlessly accommodating wait staff.

Each restaurant renovation should also especially take the kitchen design into account. Question whether the preparation tables, cleaning areas, stove and ovens are arranged in such a way as to maximize the workflow. Make sure the walkways aren’t so narrow that the chefs and wait-staff won’t be constantly bumping into each other.

Finding a complete design and contracting team that can carry out and accomplish your restaurant renovation on time and on budget—while obtaining the appropriate permits—is necessary for getting your business back up and running with minimal inconvenience.
