1. The Furniture: Keep or Replace

One of the easiest ways to refresh a restaurant is to purchase new furniture. Consider the dining room from the customer's point of view. Are the chairs still comfortable or have the seats gotten lumpy with use? Are some tables wobbly and showing wear?

Replacing furniture in a restaurant can spark new life into the business. When guests don't feel rushed to finish their meals because the seating is uncomfortable, they will linger, spend more money, tell their friends, and come back for more. 

2. Modern Appliances: A Necessity

The appliances in a restaurant do the lion's share of the work. For that reason, they can sometimes wear out rather quickly. Nothing puts a strain on finances more than outdated appliances that are inefficient.

An appliance upgrade can mean more customers are served in less time. It also prevents the risk of downtime from old appliances conking out right in the middle of a busy shift.

3. Point of Sale Technology: What You Should Know

You can't run a restaurant without a reliable POS system. Modern technology can transform your business and save you time and money. When upgrading your system, some features you might consider include:

• Touchscreen Terminals 
• Order and Pay at the Table 
• Contactless Payments 
• Handheld POS Systems 

These modern conveniences streamline restaurant sales and operations.

4. Replacing the Bar and Old Countertops 

Old countertops are not only unsightly, they can harbor mold and pathogens. Getting them changed will freshen up the atmosphere and make the surface easier to keep clean. If you decide to replace the bar, find a contractor who can maximize the area to provide comfortable seating for more patrons. New beverage taps and ice dispensers aid in keeping drink service sanitary. 

5. An Expansion Project

If you simply need more room, whether in the kitchen, the dining room, or both, an expansion is the only way to do it. Adding square footage and knocking out walls can make your restaurant feel like a whole new operation. Make sure to hire a contractor who shares your vision and uses eco-friendly practices. 

What Do You Do With the Old Stuff?

When you upgrade your restaurant, you have to dispose of the old stuff asap to make way for building projects and deliveries of your new installments. To handle what you want to discard:

• Recycle what you can. 
• Donate it. 
• Sell some things. 
• Hire a professional junk remover.

The fastest and easiest way to handle your old stuff is to hire a professional to take the junk away.
