Restaurants
Whether a single restaurant location, prototype development, or program implementation, NORR knows restaurant design. We consider location and local relevance on balance with food and beverage concept, format and brand to achieve both a successful restaurant operation and guest experience. The field of choice for guests is growing resulting in new restaurant formats, as well as an expanded breadth of the existing formats.
Quick Service
We design for quick-service restaurants by combining modern flourishes to compliment a client’s brand with high-tech tools to speed-up service and increase the bottom line while preserving guest experience. The line between quick service and fast casual continues to blur. Quick-service restaurants are adopting the upscale decor of their casual dining competitors such as locally relevant art and graphics. They have also been able to innovate with double drive-thru lanes and expanded pick-up windows. At the same time, operators’ efforts to reduce the costs of construction, cut waste and increase sustainability result in repurposing old buildings and investing in energy-efficient equipment. As the sector evolves so do we, with an evidence-based design strategy.
Casual and Fast Casual Dining
Since the advent of the fast casual restaurant decades ago, we have been providing specialized architecture, interior design and engineering services to suit the unique needs of casual dining and fast casual dining restaurants. To ensure flawless exchange from front of house to back of house, we combine current technology with a purposeful design aesthetic to expedite service and enhance guest experience. With years of restaurant design and an uncompromising dedication to quality and service, we create unique, experiential dining spaces to meet the goals of every project.
Fine Dining
A well-designed fine dining restaurant will enhance the overall dining experience through attention to detail. We are adept at the creation of fine dining spaces that balance the restaurant’s core mission with contemporary design to create a compelling atmosphere that will be memorable for guests.
