The old adage is “Nobody plans to fail, but many fail to plan” is nowhere more true than in the restaurant business. A fair percentage of new businesses fail every year, but the percentage of restaurants, delicatessens, diners and cafeterias that go under is bigger still. Most of the time this failure is not due to unpopular cuisine, poor management, or unreasonable pricing; it happens because of poor planning in the restaurant’s early design stages. Space for equipment may not have been adequate, traffic flow in the back of the house might not have been practical, or the layout and decor of the dining area may not have been suitable for guests. A professional restaurant designer in Los Angeles can help you avoid all of the pitfalls that poorly-planned dining establishments can succumb to.
The first thing a design professional can do is to verify that you have selected a building which can accommodate the restaurant that you have envisioned. Unless you have opted to construct a new restaurant from the ground up, you will need to find an existing structure which meets all of your requirements for zoning, space, utilities, location, parking, and access. When you begin working with your restaurant designer, keep in mind that in restaurants, more than most other businesses, it is critical that form and function are combined to make your restaurant appealing as well as functional.
Any professional Restaurant Designer in Los Angeles will tell you that planning a new restaurant encompasses a good deal more than floorplans, wiring diagrams, and equipment placement; there is also a large amount of paperwork which will need to be submitted before you send out those Grand Opening flyers. Local building regulations, maximum seating allowances, fire codes, ADA, and health department guidelines all need to be taken care of, and an experienced restaurant design team can handle all of those headaches for you. From submitting your building plans to getting a conditional use permit and even helping with your liquor license application, they can use their experience to expedite the process.
