You have finally made the leap and decided to open your own restaurant and after months and months of searching you have found a location that will suit your needs.
However, there is a snag the space you have found wasn’t previously a restaurant so how can you take it from its current incarnation to your dream restaurant well you need a restaurant interior designer.
Do I have to hire a restaurant interior designer?
Of course, not if you are a skilled interior designer with a background in restaurants then there is no need to hire a restaurant interior designer however for all other scenarios yes you absolutely need to hire one and allow me to explain why.
Around 80% of restaurants will close in the first year from them opening but you probably know this if you have worked in the industry for any period of time. As such it is imperative that you give your new restaurant the best chance of success. And the best way to do this is to get the basics done right from the beginning.
Yes, a restaurant is made on the back of its food but in today’s age of Instagram and social media having outstanding food isn’t enough to guarantee success. You also need to create a space that reflects the food and creates a dining experience for your guests one that will stand out from the rest and make them reach for their phones and post all over social media about how good your restaurant is and why everyone has to visit it.
Achieving this perfect aesthetic balance is an art in itself and that is why finding good restaurant interior designers is difficult however by following the advice below you can make the whole process a lot easier and less time consuming.
Search locally
New York City is an extremely competitive place to open a restaurant however the benefits of this are that the restaurant designers in the area will be very experienced so to find them you will want to search for “restaurant interior design NYC” it is important to search for “restaurant interior design NYC” as this will return the best interior designers that specialise in restaurants in NYC.
This “restaurant interior design NYC” search will return lots of interior designers in the area as there are many of them. So, it is important that you filter the results down further to maybe 2 or 3 designers.
To do this I recommend looking at their portfolios to see what kind of work they specialise in as every designer will have slightly different tastes and approaches so finding someone who already works in a similar style to what you are looking for will make things easier further down the line.
Additionally, you can review the comments left from previous customers and more often or not there will be references or testimonials provided from customers or clients. These are crucial and do not be afraid to contact them to ask how they found their experience with the designer.
Receive a quote
Now that you have your choices down to a handful of designers it is time to invite them to visit the premise and give you a quote. It is important to invite all designers to give a quote to give you the most information to compare which designer will work best for you.
When the designers visit the space, I find it best to walk through exactly what you want and where and physically show them in the property where each appliance or piece of furniture will go. Now not everything will be possible due to restrictions, but your designer can advise you of this and offer alternatives.
Once this phase has been completed your designers will discuss the aesthetic aspects and usually show you some samples of materials that would work well in your space. Remember all of this is to achieve your dream restaurant so this is the time to be picky if you don’t like a particular material or paint color then now is your time to speak up.
If you are happy with everything your restaurant interior designer suggests then you can move forward to creating a contract for the work to be completed this should include a proposed completion date and detail all costs for labor and materials. If you are happy with everything that is put forward and it is documented in black and white then go ahead and sign and look forward to achieving your dream.
