Restaurant moving and installation is a highly customized service. Restaurants have their own specific FF&E (furniture, fixtures and effects), designs and plans that need to be executed on time and on budget. When it comes to choosing the right movers and installers, you’ll want to consider the following:
Relevant Experience
When choosing the right restaurant movers, you’ll want to inquire about their project experience. Being a highly specialized service, they should be able to speak in detail about certain projects ranging from hotels, hospitality, restaurants, retail spaces and more.
Warehouse Space Available
When it comes to restaurant moving, you may be constructing a new building, or renovating an existing one. You’ll need to find a mover who has long term or temporary storage space available to consolidate furniture, fixtures, flooring, carpet, and other OS&E (operating supplies & equipment). Depending on your project schedule, you’ll find it beneficial to have your product stored in the location where the movers will be delivering and installing it.
Below are some storage solutions you should consider:
- Inventory management
- Warehouse access available
- Logistics support & coordination
- Waste disposal & recycling
- Multiple docks for receiving containers, trailers and flat deck shipments
Project Management
Most restaurant movers will have experience in project management. This will include reading floor plans and architectural drawings, planning, coordination, and staying on schedule and on budget. Hiring a mover with a dedicated project manager will make your project go smoother from start to finish.
Full Service Restaurant Movers
There are many movers in Edmonton, Calgary and Alberta who focus on home moving and office moving. You’ll want to make sure the moving company you choose has the ability to fully service your move so you don’t need to hire multiple companies.
Full service companies should be able to provide the following services:
- On Site inspection & estimate
- Tear-down & set up of all your FF&E
- Specific packers, movers, drivers, installers, trucks, tools and equipment
- Protection plans to protect your property and inventory
- Removal & recycling of your unwanted FF&E
