Commercial Kitchen Fit Out Cost: Restaurants and Cafes

Q: Wanting to increase customer capacity

Although an increase in clientele is a great sign of your business succeeding, there may come a time when your kitchen space needs an upgrade to facilitate it.

Q: Improving staff satisfaction

If you decide to upgrade equipment, space, and kitchen facilities, you may notice improved staff morale and productivity during the shift.

Q: Compliance with regulations

You may discover a part of your kitchen is no longer compliant with food hygiene regulations, whether that is due to an oversight or wear and tear.

How much does a Commercial Kitchen Fit-Out Cost?

A commercial kitchen fit-out can cost anywhere between £11,000-£400,000+, depending on whether you want a smaller cafe project or a larger restaurant refurbishment.

At Wensley Group, we aim to provide a quote that suits your fit-out's demands while offering a high-quality service to upgrade your hospitality space.

Factors Influencing Cost

From equipment to layout plans, there are a range of factors you should consider when planning a fit-out:

Size of Kitchen

Depending on your commercial kitchen space and how you need it to be optimised will influence the cost. Large amounts of equipment or even the size of your menu may require more space to maintain the same level of practicality during service.

Materials and Design

You may need to be aware of:

Structural costs - especially for listed or heritage buildings.
Design costs - which may be for improving service layout, materials, or any other design plans.
Equipment costs - this also depends on your hospitality setting, menu, and capacity, as some establishments may require more specialised equipment than others.

When choosing between materials, laminate and stainless steel as examples, most business owners may find the traditional hard-wearing metal countertops more appealing for longevity and food hygiene standards. When investing in these long-lasting materials, you will benefit from a commercial kitchen with high endurance and save on costs in the long run.

Permits and Permissions

If your hospitality venue is a listed or heritage building, there could be restrictions on exactly what refurbishment services and alterations you can make.

Finding Commercial Kitchen Installers

Finding the right installer for your commercial kitchen is integral to your planned refurbishment. Working alongside a fit-out contractor who can achieve your refurbishment goals to improve the functionality, space optimisation, and appearance will be the most beneficial choice from initial design to final setup.
