Hi all,
I'm calling on the collective wisdom here to help me estimate costs of a small coffee shop fit out.
I'm in the process of getting council approval for my project and am working very hard on the details of my business plan. I will be building from scratch and will not have detailed floor plans for a few more weeks. My problem is that I am finding a lot of resistance from the fit out companies to even give me an estimate until they have the building plans. It's almost as though I'm being looked upon as a tyre kicker when this is a serious project with full funding already available. It will be a small shop with and expected vast majority of take away orders and a concentrated offering.
So if you have done this before, could you help me estimate what I need to put aside to fit out the kitchen area based on the following criteria?
So what do you think? I'm looking for a ballpark figure for cupboards/benches/storage, equipment and counter/display.
Cheers!

- 11m2 total area for kitchen and counter/display
- Counter will be 3m long
- Main products will be espresso based beverages, frappes, milk shakes, slushies, churros, muffins, panninis and cakes. Therefore anticipated prep stations are espresso, shake, blender shlusie, churro fryer and cleanup.
So what do you think? I'm looking for a ballpark figure for cupboards/benches/storage, equipment and counter/display.
Cheers!
