Your guests know your restaurant, they like coming and they come back. That is fine. But the interior is starting to lose its edge: the furniture is worn, the colour scheme no longer matches current taste, or the layout does not work as well as it could. And you know your business deserves a fresh impulse.

A new interior, a new impulse

But refurbishment brings worry with it. Closing means lost revenue, extra hassle and a lot of open questions. What if it could be handled so that you reopen stronger than before? Perhaps working with Woodever is the step that lets you get through the whole transformation calmly – with a result that exceeds what you and your guests expected.

Good timing is the foundation

Restaurant owners usually know exactly what they want. They know their guests, they know what works and what should change. When everything is thought through and timed in advance, the work itself can be done in record time – ideally in a quieter season: January for a city-centre restaurant, October or November in a mountain resort. That is when a new interior can be built with minimal impact on revenue. Good, early preparation is what matters most.

Refurbishment step by step

Before you start any refurbishment, it pays to be clear about what will happen, when, at what cost and who provides what. Before building work begins, you will have it all planned out with us. We know what follows what, where to keep time in reserve and where time can be saved without compromising quality.

The interior is built first digitally. Together with a designer or architect you refine the design – from the first sketches to 3D visualisations. The restaurant keeps trading in the meantime and you have time to think through every detail: what a guest sees, where they sit and what impression they take away.

Only when everything is ready does the fit-out begin, including coordination of every trade. If you would rather not lose precious time arranging electricians, floor layers and painters, we are here. At Woodever you get your own project manager who keeps an eye on all of it, so you can get on with your job.

You get a clear programme, budget and transparent terms including payment dates. That lets you plan exactly when to close and tell your guests in good time. And why not use the phase for marketing? Let guests know what is coming. Share photos from the work, take them behind the scenes. Bring them into it and they will root for you and look forward to the opening with you.

The key to a smooth run is the final scope of works

It starts with a firm programme, clear steps and a team that works together. Everything has to fit like a puzzle – from building works through furniture production to the final clean. With a reliable partner beside you, one who does not promise the impossible but plans realistically what will be ready when and for how much, you are on the winning side. 

At Woodever we work to a clear system, the final scope of works (FZD). It means that before work starts you know exactly what you will get, when you will get it and at what price. And by then we know the material is secured and production and installation capacity is booked, so the project can run to plan without snags or unpleasant surprises.

Case study: Pizzeria Da Giorgio

Handing a refurbishment to a company with a real track record and experience designing and fitting out restaurant interiorsis always the best choice. In Semily, for example, we spent 45 days working to a design by the architectural practice DL studio to turn an existing restaurant into the new Pizzeria Da Giorgio.

During the refurbishment we worked to an exact programme, from the strip-out phase to the last detail. Bespoke furniture was being made in our workshop in Rousinov alongside the other building works. Good preparation and a well-drilled team kept everything running smoothly and without delay.

Today Pizzeria Da Giorgio draws guests not only for the pizza but for an atmosphere they want to come back to – exactly the goal we set with the client.

An honest interior for your restaurant, from the joiners from Rousinov

What do you get by working with us? First of all a solution, that genuinely suits your space and your concept – nothing universal, but an interior tailored to what you do, how you cook and how you want your guests to feel. High-quality workmanship goes without saying. We believe in honest craft that holds up not just on opening night but after years of daily service.

Ready to get started? We will gladly help turn your restaurant into a place where it is a pleasure to sit – for guests who will want to come back. And a place where it is good to work, for you, your team and everyone who keeps the business running. Because when guests and staff both feel good, the whole place works better. Get in touch.
