Cafe & Restaurant Renovation
A cafe's atmosphere is not an accident: get texture, light and acoustics right and guests stay — and return.
A cafe fit-out merges two worlds in one project: concept and atmosphere in the guest area (decorative plaster, textured paint, timber and metal details, lighting scenes) and hygiene and durability in the kitchen (epoxy floors, stainless splash zones, heavy-use surfaces). EMC Decor executes both with its own teams.
Licensing and hygiene-inspection requirements — ventilation capacity, grease traps, floor drains, washable surface heights — are engineered in from the start, so the opening inspection holds no surprises. If you're converting a taken-over unit, we document the existing infrastructure and keep what's serviceable to protect your budget.

View PricingFrequently Asked Questions
How much conversion does a taken-over cafe need?
At the survey we test and document the existing infrastructure (ventilation, electrics, water, grease trap); what's serviceable stays. In most takeovers the budget weight goes to visible surfaces and brand identity.
Can we renovate section by section without closing?
Yes — the floor is zoned and dusty work moved to after-close hours. If kitchen infrastructure is being renewed though, a short full closure (3–7 days) is usually more economical.
Who provides the concept design?
Both models work: we execute your existing concept faithfully, or develop texture, colour and lighting decisions together using sample panels. On franchise projects we comply fully with the brand manual.
Will acoustic work prevent neighbour complaints?
For venues with homes above, we recommend ceiling sound insulation and vibration-isolated speaker mounting; we work to measurable dB targets and report the result.
