How a Smarter Process Leads to Smarter Hospitality Spaces
If you’ve worked on a hospitality fitout before, you know this much is true:
The real problems don’t usually show up on the first day of construction.
They show up when something was missed—or misunderstood—early on.
Maybe the power supply doesn’t suit the new combi oven.
Maybe the cool room can’t be delivered in time.
Maybe the layout looks good on paper, but doesn’t actually work when the staff hits service mode.
That’s why our approach at Forward Creations always starts with one thing: understanding your business.
Consult.
Every project starts with a conversation.
We get to know your team, your service model, your menu, and your volume.
Are you serving 40 covers or 400?
Do you need a bar that flips from daytime café to evening cocktail service?
Do you have a heritage building with limited access and council restrictions?
This early consult phase helps us set the right direction before anyone picks up a tape measure or selects a piece of equipment.
Design.
Once we know how your business works, we can design a space that works with you.
That might mean:
Compact layouts to suit a high-efficiency, low-labour model
Smart flow between bar, pass and floor staff
Equipment recommendations that suit your output and budget
Energy efficiency considerations
And of course, compliance with food safety and building regulations
We back this up with detailed drawings, equipment schedules, and budget estimates—so there are no surprises later.
Transform.
This is where it all comes together.
We coordinate with our trusted trades, your suppliers, and contractors to bring the plan to life—without the headaches that come from poor preparation.
Our goal isn’t just to build a kitchen or a bar.
It’s to create a space that performs—one that helps your team work better, your service flow more smoothly, and your business grow more profitably.
