If you have outgrown your current restaurant location or want to move to a different area, you will need to make a relocation. For many restaurant owners, the relocation process is a challenging one that requires extensive planning.

As professional movers, we have handled numerous commercial relocations for our customers. Our team has the knowledge to provide steps that will give you a streamlined restaurant relocation.

Choose the Ideal Moving Time

When planning a move, you should consider what time is ideal for providing the shortest delays in your business's operation. If you want your restaurant's opening day to be on Friday or Saturday, you should move during the week to give you time to prepare.

Many moving providers also have better prices for their moving services for certain times of the year. If you want to make an affordable relocation, you should consider making a move during an off time of the year, like in the winter months. 

Give Yourself Plenty Of Time For The Relocation

While you likely want to get your restaurant back into business quickly, it's important to set realistic goals for your relocation. It would help if you planned your move far in advance so you can consider the easiest process for the relocation.

When developing the relocation plan of your restaurant, you can plan all aspects of the move including the storage. If you need temporary storage, you can find a provider that offers the best service. 

By giving yourself plenty of time for the relocation, you can source new furniture and other equipment for the business. Once the moving day comes, you will have no doubts you will have a smooth relocation.

Make Decisions On Keeping Equipment

If you have older furniture and equipment in your restaurant, it may be best to dispose of some of the aging items. Some items may not be in good enough condition and be worth it for commercial movers to move the equipment. 

The aging items you should consider moving or not are:

  • Broken Tables
  • Broken Chairs
  • Old Kitchen Equipment
