Restaurant Start-up?
Hi,
I have a degree from a culinary institute and have worked for a restaurant for almost 3 yrs now. I’m planning to start a restaurant with another person; but unfortunately neither of us are familiar with the business and architectural side of the restaurant business. So if anyone have answers to these questions, I’d appreciate it.
1. I’m planning to hire a professional architect to do the interior layout of my restaurant. But do I start looking/hiring the designer/architect before I sign the lease agreement or after?
2. How long does it usually take to get the entire project completed? (the restaurant will be in california)
3. What kind of permits will I or the architect need during the design and construction phase of the project?
4. How much would it cost to hire an architect to do a 1,200-2,000 sq ft project?
Thanks!
