We’re expecting a boom in new restaurant construction in a post-COVID world. The opportunity is there: people are ready to go out to eat again. They’re hungry for more than just burgers – they want to socialize in bars, cozy up in a corner booth on dates, and grab a quick lunch with their coworkers. The food and beverage industry has been hit hard by the pandemic, but lately, we see a ray of hope. For restaurants opening their doors for the first time in 2021 and beyond, making customers feel safe is priority number one, then we can implement the following latest trends.
New Restaurant Construction Trends
Take-Out Service Areas
Whether it’s a large counter in an easily-accessible location or a walk-up window, restaurant builders know that the take-out trend is not going to slow down. Embrace it with a convenient pick-up spot.
Craft Beer & Brewery Concepts
Extra space for cold beverage storage, tasting rooms, or open brewery-style spaces are growing in popularity thanks to the demand for local craft beer. Savvy restaurant builders are working craft beer options into their space – and their menu.
Creative Kitchens
An efficient kitchen design allows for back-of-house staff to work quickly through the day’s prep and night’s orders. For restaurants that fully embrace the take-out and delivery trend, ghost kitchens are the way to go. RTF Construction can get creative to make a kitchen that works for exactly what your new restaurant needs.
Modern Interiors
For restaurants that will bring customers into a dining room, customers expect modern spaces with artistic flair. Our favorite scratch-resistant, easy-to-clean tile flooring that looks like wood is a must for new projects. Combining textures and organic features is the latest in unique and beautiful interior decorations. Our favorite recent organic features? A living wall and custom water feature!
Outdoor Options
Dining outside is also top-of-mind for most customers. New restaurant construction projects should include space for an outdoor space. Patio seating, a deck, or any kind of comfortable outdoor area will help customers feel more comfortable as we ease back into regular indoor dining.
