Some of the Things We’ve Learned Over the Years
Location is not always everything. One mistake we’ve seen prospective restauranteurs make is finding the perfect location but with an unsuitable building that can significantly increase start-up costs and blow the budget before you’ve even begun. Once the lease has been signed, it’s too late and you can find yourself with unexpected costs and added stress just as you start what should be an exciting new venture.
Your menu makes a difference. Your cooking methods make a difference to by-law and building code regulations. We can guide you through this process to make sure you have what you need and also avoid unnecessary equipment.
Your decisions now can haunt you later. There are often choices between different systems that can be implemented in a commercial kitchen. Your choice now can have a negative impact on things such as future operating costs or the comfort of your customers and staff. We can advise which system will work best in your environment and why.
