Hospitality Fitout — Café & Kitchen, Woollahra, NSW

Project Overview

This hospitality fitout in Woollahra, in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, involved the fitout of a café and commercial kitchen within an existing tenancy. The scope covered coordination of the commercial kitchen and back-of-house services, construction of the bar and dining areas, and custom joinery throughout the front-of-house space. FRANCA FITOUTS coordinated the kitchen, joinery and finishes as one project, managing the specific hydraulic, mechanical and services requirements a working commercial kitchen depends on.

Client Objectives

• Deliver a fully functional and compliant commercial kitchen
• Create a welcoming, durable dining and bar fitout suited to daily hospitality service
• Coordinate kitchen services (exhaust, grease trap, hydraulics) around the tenancy's existing infrastructure
• Integrate custom joinery across the servery, bar and dining areas
• Deliver finishes durable enough for continuous day-to-day operation

Challenges

Hospitality fitouts of this kind require close coordination between the kitchen consultant, hydraulic, mechanical and electrical trades to meet the specific exhaust, grease trap and services requirements of a working commercial kitchen — while also delivering a dining and bar fitout that presents well to customers from day one. Sequencing back-of-house services works around the front-of-house build was central to keeping the project on programme.

Our Solution

FRANCA FITOUTS coordinated the kitchen consultant and specialist trades alongside the broader construction programme, sequencing exhaust, grease trap, hydraulic and electrical services works around the kitchen fitout. The dining and bar areas were developed through design consultation, with custom joinery integrated across the servery, bar and seating areas to combine practical daily function with a welcoming customer-facing fitout.

Construction Details

The café fitout works included commercial kitchen fitout and services coordination (exhaust, grease trap and hydraulics), bar construction and joinery, dining area fitout and seating zones, custom joinery to the servery and storage areas, electrical and lighting works, wall and ceiling finishes, commercial flooring, painting and final finishes, fixtures and hardware, and defects inspection through to handover.

Materials

The completed café uses a durable, hospitality-grade material palette selected to withstand daily service, including commercial-grade kitchen surfaces and stainless steel, warm timber joinery to the bar and dining areas, durable commercial flooring, easy-clean wall finishes, and a mix of feature and task lighting across the dining and servery zones.

Results

The completed fitout delivered a fully functional commercial kitchen alongside a durable, welcoming café and dining fitout, coordinated as one project across kitchen services, joinery, bar and dining construction. The project reflects FRANCA FITOUTS' capability in hospitality fitouts and commercial kitchen coordination across Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.
