Central Bistro

The third branch for a restaurant group. Brand consistency with the first two sites, plus outdoor seating to lift evening turnover.

Scope

  • Site assessment
  • Design
  • Fit-out
  • Licensing
  • Fire safety
  • Furniture

The challenge

  • Brand standards: materials, lighting and flow had to match two existing sites
  • Outdoor seating required a separate permission and clear means of escape
  • Building management allowed noisy works only overnight

What we did

  • Built a branch design standard; materials and furniture batch-ordered to cut lead times
  • Indoor and outdoor seating applications submitted together to reduce rounds
  • Day and night crews kept the schedule intact despite restrictions

Outcome
