A design-build partner, not just a designer
Restaurant projects usually run through three parties: a designer draws it, a joinery shop reads the drawings its own way, and a contractor assembles the result. Standchi is a restaurant design and build company — concept, 3D design, custom millwork and bespoke joinery come from one team and one Istanbul workshop.
- Design: covers per m², circulation, zoning, acoustics, lighting and brand surfaces resolved together.
- Manufacture: banquettes, service stations, the pass, host stand, bar and feature walls produced to measure.
- Delivery: flat pack shipping worldwide with numbered parts and video-guided installation — no crew to fly in.
What a restaurant fit out covers
Four decisions carry most of the result. Each has its own page:
- Dining room layout — table mix, aisles, zoning and banquette lines.
- Service flow — the pass, service stations and the route between kitchen and table.
- Decorative surfaces — feature walls and ceilings that set the register of the room.
- Lighting — a lunch room and a dinner room from the same ceiling.
Also relevant: seating layout and bar counter design.
How much does a restaurant fit out cost?
Restaurant fit out cost is driven 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: restaurant 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 room you receive.
How we handle it at Standchi
We start from your floor plan, your menu and your target covers: 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 packing and ships 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.
