How great restaurant design can help your business succeed

Restaurants and bars operate are notorious for going out of business as fast as the go into business. In fact as many as five out of every seven businesses in South Africa go out of business in the first year.

So what’s the secret?

Why do some restaurants succeed where others fail?

More often that not, great design (in addition to impeccable service, a great location and a delicious product, of course) is the key to restaurant success. Great restaurant design can set your venue apart from the competition and give you the edge you need to succeed in a crowded market.
An unusual restaurant and bar is design is guaranteed to get your business both press coverage and customer word of mouth – free advertising in other words.

That’s why it’s important that careful thought and innovative ideas are incorporated into your restaurant design. Whatever look and feel you go for, make sure your restaurant interior design is memorable and comment worthy.

Not only that, it is important to keep your restaurant interior fresh, new and interesting to keep customers talking about and coming back to your shop. At Creative Shop, we recommend that restaurants and bars refresh their interior image and brand at least every three years to keep things fresh and customers engaged.

Furthermore, restaurants and bars are high traffic, hard-working locations. This means wear and tear on upholstery and joinery is inevitable, even when working with the most durable and best constructed shop fittings available. Upholstery gets torn, glass gets broken, wood gets chipped. So make sure you keep your restaurant well maintained at all times.

If your restaurant or bar is in need of a brand refresh, or if you want to open a new venue people will be talking about for years, contact the shopfitting and design experts at Creative Shop for a design fit-out solution to secure your business success.
