Restaurant Planning Guide
Restaurants combine customer spaces, kitchen equipment, point-of-sale, Wi-Fi, cameras and operational systems in a compact environment.
Separate equipment needs from general power
Build an equipment schedule early and confirm actual electrical requirements before rough-in. General receptacles and lighting should be planned alongside dedicated or specialty loads rather than substituted for them.
Treat POS and connectivity as operational infrastructure
Point-of-sale terminals, printers, back-office systems, payment devices, music, displays, cameras and staff devices may all depend on reliable connectivity. Their cabling and equipment locations should be considered before finishes.
Plan cameras around operations
Entrances, service areas, cash-handling points and exterior approaches may have different visibility requirements. Camera pathways and network equipment can be coordinated with the broader buildout.

As early as practical, especially before walls and ceilings close. Early planning gives the project team more options for pathways, equipment locations and coordination.
