How to Cost-Effectively Refresh Your Interiors

As a multi-location enterprise, you have certain responsibilities for the upkeep and look of your property. If your interiors are worn, dated or just don’t match the aesthetic that your franchise regulations require, you may need a refresh. How do you refresh your interior while keeping in tune with your bottom line?

Repurpose with a purpose

You don’t have to gut your entire operation to improve its look. If something needs replacing because it is damaged or worn, examine what part of it you can keep or fix. One of our clients had tattered benches that weakened the overall look of the restaurant. Rather than buying and installing new banquettes, which would have been very costly, we kept the wood benches and simply reupholstered the seating. This made a huge impact with a 47% savings over replacing the benches.

Use more cost-effective material

Metal is a functional and durable material in construction, but with the rising cost of metal, we need to reconsider if it is as important to use in renovations or refreshes as it once was. Choosing alternative materials helps keep costs down. Wood, for example, was an appropriate replacement for one of our restaurant clients who wanted to replace their outdated metal fixtures and was 31% less expensive. Some new cutting-edge engineered wood products are very durable, water-resistant and cost-effective. 

Add cladding

Complete tear-downs are not only pricey but time-consuming. By adding cladding, like we did for one major customer, you can refresh your look entirely with minimum disruption and cost. This customer saved 65% by just adding cladding, but made a huge impact on the look of their restaurant interior. They achieved a consistent look with newer stores in their franchise with this simple fix.
