 Whether your restaurant design budget is in the Planet Hollywood-range
or merely mom-and-pops-sized, you can create an unforgettable dining
experience for your guests. All you need is a wealth of creative
thinking, a meticulous strategic plan and expert advice to help you
squeeze the most value out of your restaurant design budget.
It is true that restaurant design budgets are swelling as eateries rely
on visual senses and mood-evoking interiors to stand out from the
competitive pack and generate repeat visits. Restaurant design budgets
should include elements that make the eatery exciting, vibrant and
memorable. Of course, “exciting, vibrant and memorable” mean different
things to different target audiences.
With an overarching emphasis on dining as entertainment, large
restaurant design budgets make room for all the proverbial bells and
whistles. Abundant restaurant design budgets imagine expensive features
like indoor waterfalls, eclectic art, imported furniture and otherwise
swanky décor.
However, even independent restaurateurs are finding ways to stretch
restaurant design budgets to include elements that offer the biggest
bang for their bucks. But companies with slim restaurant design budgets
need to pay extra special attention to low-cost strategies like the
all-important color palate.
Saving a few dollars in one column of the restaurant design budget can
free up additional funds in another column of the restaurant design
budget. Experienced restaurant designers can identify areas of
potential cost-savings to help you make the most of your investment. In
some cases, your actual inventory can become part and parcel of your
restaurant design.
Fruition, a fruit smoothie concept in Miami, Fla., illustrates the
point. The owners relied on the eatery’s unique selling point – exotic
fruit – to establish a color palate that would differentiate it from
other smoothie concepts. Fruition’s guests may feel like they have been
transported to a third world fruit market. The use of exotic fruit
displayed throughout the restaurant and a custom color palate based on
the foreign produce make an eye pleasing – and appetite stirring –
impact on guests. And cost savings made funds available in the
restaurant design budget for custom booths to be made.
High or low, restaurant design budgets should make room for expert
consultants because experience breeds cost savings. Your restaurant
design budget may include elite décor or an eclectic mix, but leave it
to experienced consultants to help you make the most of your restaurant
design budget at any level.
