Hello, this is Qplace, a commercial space interior comparison estimation service. In this video, we will discuss ten essential checklist items you need to know when planning a restaurant interior. If you are preparing to start a restaurant, please watch the video until the end. 

First, for those who are doing restaurant interiors for the first time, you might be curious about the approximate costs involved. The costs can vary significantly depending on factors such as the usual condition of the site, the materials used, and the reputation of the interior design company. In this video, we will inform you about the minimum costs required to proceed with the interior work. 

For restaurant interior costs, if the space is less than 10 pyeong, it will be around 15 million won. For spaces between 10 and 20 pyeong, the cost is approximately 1.5 to 2 million won per pyeong. For spaces between 20 and 30 pyeong, it is about 1.3 to 1.5 million won per pyeong. For spaces over 30 pyeong, you should expect a cost of about 1 million to 1.2 million won per pyeong to proceed with the interior work. As the area increases, the cost per pyeong can decrease further. If you are considering costs below these amounts, then...

It is practically difficult to entrust the construction to an interior company, so consumers must either carry out self-construction or direct construction themselves. Additionally, the amount mentioned excludes separate construction costs such as moving signage, heating and cooling systems, furniture, and kitchen fixtures, so you need to set aside a separate budget for those additional works. This amount is based on the year 2022, and due to annual inflation, labor costs and material prices are expected to rise over time, which means that the estimates for restaurant interiors may increase beyond this amount. 

Before starting the interior work, please decide on the menu you will be selling. By determining the menu first, you can identify the appropriate items and locations for kitchen fixtures suitable for menu preparation, and later, installations such as plumbing and gas hood ducts can be placed in suitable locations. An optimized kitchen for menu preparation provides employees with an efficient work environment, thereby increasing productivity. If you decide on the menu after the kitchen construction is completed...

If changes are made, it may be necessary to reinstall kitchen fixtures and equipment, or the movement of staff may overlap, and in the worst-case scenario, it could lead to a need for a service interruption. The kitchen should be the first consideration in the design process. Beginner entrepreneurs or interior design companies without experience in restaurant interiors often focus more on the dining area or exterior design. While the dining area and exterior are important for creating a first impression on customers and providing a stylish space, poor kitchen design can hinder the smooth provision of menu items and services, which could significantly impact restaurant operations. Lastly, once the kitchen fixtures that use water are determined, drainage and water supply work must be done accordingly. If water-using kitchen fixtures are added later, it may lead to service interruptions or require inconvenient usage. Therefore, it is safer to install one or two extra drainage pipes during the initial construction.

Using pipes with a large diameter is important for ensuring that water drains well; using pipes that are 75mm or larger generally facilitates smooth drainage. In places like meat restaurants, where a lot of grease or food scraps are generated, there is a risk of the grease solidifying as it cools and clogging the pipes. Therefore, it is necessary to install a grease trap to filter out these substances initially. 

Fifth, for restaurants that use a lot of water, waterproofing work is extremely important. This is especially true if there are other businesses operating on the lower floor; waterproofing must be done to prevent any leaks. Even a small crack in the kitchen can lead to water seeping down, which could result in the need to compensate for all damages incurred. If the kitchen walls are constructed with materials like drywall, continuous splashing can cause water to seep in and lead to deformation. In such cases, waterproofing should be done before painting or tiling to prevent these issues. Waterproofing work typically involves applying waterproofing material, installing trench cement, and finishing with tile.

Before cement burial, please ensure that the store owner comes to the site to take photos for reference in case waterproofing issues arise later. The sixth restaurant is a space that uses fire, so the installation of a hood and duct is essential. The hood is the part that draws in smoke, while the duct refers to the pipe that transports the smoke drawn in by the hood. Please install the hood at a height of approximately 1700 mm from cooking appliances such as fryers. It is advisable for the width to be at least 100 mm longer than the cooking appliance. This is because the hood may sometimes be installed slightly sideways compared to the design, and heat from the cooking appliance may escape outside the hood. The duct's suction power varies depending on the fan capacity; if a smaller capacity is installed, there may be issues with proper ventilation in the kitchen. Usually, interior or duct companies recommend duct capacity considering the usual operation of the store, but it is important to assess how many menu items can be prepared simultaneously.

When calculating capacity, considering the cooking process is essential, so store owners should actively provide feedback on the kitchen situation. Additionally, in densely populated commercial areas, there may be cases where ducts need to extend to the roof of the building. In such cases, the higher the number of floors, the more expensive the installation costs may become. High-power consuming devices should have dedicated electrical wiring, and it is advisable to install as many outlets as possible in the working area to enhance usability. Once the carpentry work is completed, it will be difficult to change the electrical wiring routes and outlet locations, so be sure to discuss the outlet placements generously with the interior design company during the planning phase. The layout of the eighth hall should consider the movement paths of both customers and staff. Staff should be able to move quickly in the hall, while customers should not feel cramped when seated. Reducing surplus space to increase seating capacity is a way to boost sales, but for two-person tables...

The size of the table should be 600mm in width and 600mm in length for a four-person table. For a six-person table, it should be at least 500mm in width and 1240mm in length. Additionally, the distance between tables must be at least 1450mm, and if it is more than 1600mm, guests will feel comfortable when sitting in their chairs. The ninth kitchen should consider durability, and the hall should choose ceiling materials based on design. Since the kitchen ceiling is always exposed to high temperatures and humidity, using drywall or textiles for the ceiling can be vulnerable in such a hot and humid environment. It is advisable to choose ceiling materials that match the store concept for a pole ceiling. An exposed ceiling can create a feeling of spaciousness due to the height, and since the plumbing and wiring are visible, it suits a vintage design. In contrast, a recessed ceiling can create a cozy atmosphere due to its lower height while hiding the plumbing and wiring, resulting in a minimal modern look.

It fits the design. Lastly, we need to choose the flooring material. For kitchen floors, tiles are most commonly used in both wet and dry kitchens. Since water and food frequently fall on the kitchen floor, tiles are durable against water damage, stains, and breakage, making them easy to clean and maintain. Vinyl flooring is also similar; it is durable and easy to keep clean, and many tiles are used for this purpose. However, it is also acceptable to choose other materials that fit the store design. Epoxy is easy to maintain, but it can become slippery when water spills, leading to accidents. While decorative tiles are inexpensive, they can experience lifting and separation, and if dust or grease settles on the surface, they may not clean easily. Wooden flooring gives a luxurious feel and texture, but over time, it can warp, and in areas where trolleys are pulled, it may produce a rattling sound.

There is a lot available. If you visit the Q Place website now, you will find over 3,500 commercial space interior portfolios. If you find a portfolio you like and request a consultation, we will provide you with a detailed estimate. We will see you again with better content next time.
