For a lot of people, establishing a new restaurant is a dream come true, but fulfilling that dream takes more than passion; it takes strategy, planning and skillful execution. Riders can range from fine dine restaurant setup, to a modern café design, or even launching a franchise outlet. No matter the ultimate vision, it begins with setting up for success right off the bat.
At curry craft, we provide comprehensive restaurant setup services for every concept, with every size in mind. From interior design in bespoke cabinetry, to kitchen designs/joinery your ideas are built around launching beautiful and profitable restaurants.
Let's take a closer look at starting a restaurant setup in the right way and how curry craft can support you along the way.
1. Define Your Restaurant Concept
Your concept is the essence of the restaurant you want to establish. Is it a cozy café, with modern interior design? A luxury fine-dine experience? Or a fast-growing franchise structure? Before moving forward, you must define:
- Type of cuisine
- Target audience
- Dining experience (casual/fine-dining/QSR/café)
- Ambience and theme
- Budget and investment plans
At Curry Craft, we help establish your concept into a monetizable business plan.
2. Site Selection and Layout Planning
Location is essential to a restaurant's success. Whether you are a footprint in a high foot traffic area or a sub niche neighbourhood, we assess locations including feasibility of the location, customer flow to the site, and your competitors to assist you in selecting the right location. We will create a smart layout that separates:
- Kitchen area
- Dining area
- Storage area
- Restrooms
- Service corridors
Having the proper zoning and flow are important factors that make your staff more productive, and make your guests comfortable; it's important for cafés and fine-dining operations alike.
3. Modern Café and Fine Dine Interior Design
Your interiors should reflect your brand. For a modern café interior design, the focus might be on minimalism, cozy corners, and Instagram-worthy decor. In contrast, a fine dine restaurant setup requires elegance, ambient lighting, and premium finishes.

-
Theme development and mood boards
-
Furniture selection
-
Lighting design
-
Wall treatments and color palette

Acoustic and ambient enhancements
