Restaurants & Food Service
A great restaurant concept still needs the right real estate.
Restaurant real estate involves significantly more than rent and square footage. Theresa helps operators evaluate locations based on the requirements that can make or break a restaurant concept.

Second generation or build from scratch?
An existing restaurant space can potentially reduce build-out requirements — hoods, grease traps and plumbing may already be in place.
But existing infrastructure still needs careful evaluation against the new concept's operational needs. Size, condition, layout and capacity all matter, and Theresa will encourage review by your contractor and other professionals before you commit.

Theresa’s approach
Theresa starts with your menu, service model and volume goals, then works backward to the space — so the location supports the concept instead of forcing compromises in the kitchen.
