One team for café design and build
Most café projects are split three ways: an interior designer draws it, a local joinery shop interprets the drawings, and someone else assembles whatever turns up. Standchi is a café design and build company — concept, 3D design, custom millwork and bespoke joinery come from one team and one Istanbul workshop.
- Design: layout, queue line, seating mix, lighting and brand surfaces resolved together.
- Manufacture: bar counter, back bar, banquettes, shelving and feature surfaces produced to measure.
- Delivery: flat pack shipping worldwide with numbered parts and video-guided installation — no crew to fly in.
What a café fit out covers
A coffee shop lives or dies on a handful of details. Each has its own page:
- Bar & coffee counter — barista ergonomics, machine layout, front panels and worktops.
- Seating layout — capacity per m² weighed against the comfort that makes people stay.
- Lighting — ambient, task and accent layers that hold up from morning to evening.
- Decorative surfaces — the feature wall that ends up in every photo.

How much does a café fit out cost?
Café fit out cost is set by four things: floor area, how much custom joinery there is per square metre, material segment, and lighting complexity. Because we manufacture in our own workshop and ship flat pack, two lines that inflate a normal fit out — local subcontractor margins and a travelling installation crew — largely disappear from your quote.
- Design fee: café design starts at €1,250, and is deducted in full from the production invoice if we also manufacture the fit out.
- Timeline: design takes ~15 days; manufacturing starts at one month and scales with size. Freight is quoted separately by destination.
- Budget control: the approved 3D design fixes the scope before production starts, so the quote you sign is the café you receive.
How we handle it at Standchi
We start from your floor plan and your menu: concept and layout first, then a full 3D design you approve, then production with photo and video updates at every stage. Everything is test-assembled in the workshop before it is packed, then shipped as numbered flat pack modules — your own team or a local fitter puts it together in days.
No site visit is needed. We guide the survey remotely and tell you exactly what to measure and photograph — see how we work.
