Solutions for Restaurants
Deliver Restaurant Projects On Time and On Budget
From full-service dining to fast-casual concepts, restaurant construction has unique demands: complex kitchen builds, health department approvals, and tight opening windows. RolloutIQ™ brings it all together.
The Challenge
Where restaurant builds go sideways
Complex Kitchen Buildouts
Type I hood and fire suppression coordination, custom hood lead times, and makeup air sized to the equipment load make the kitchen the highest-coordination part of the site, and a missed step means tearing out finished work.
Health Department Compliance
An undersized grease trap found at rough inspection forces an upgrade mid-build. Local health departments set trap sizing, three-compartment sink placement, and handwash sink spacing, and each jurisdiction writes its own rules.
Utility and Permit Delays
Chipotle's CFO said in early 2024 that a restaurant build that used to take 15 to 16 months was running closer to 21 to 22 months, blaming permitting, inspection, and utility-installation delays among other causes.
Change Order Overload
Unexpected site conditions, hood and equipment coordination misses, and last-minute design changes drive restaurant projects over budget. Without a clear approval workflow, costs spiral.
Platform Features
Built for Restaurant Construction Teams
RolloutIQ™ gives restaurant development teams one place to run every phase from site survey to grand opening.
Your Formats, Templated
Each restaurant format gets its own schedule with phases, dependencies, and owners. Apply it to a new build, remodel, or conversion and the dates lay out from your start date.
Kitchen Equipment on the Schedule
Each long-lead equipment delivery is a deliverable with the date your vendor committed to, so you can see how much slack it has before it touches the opening.
Health, Fire, and Building Inspections
Each inspection is a dated step with an owner and a place for the sign-off document. If one runs late, the critical path shows whether the opening moves.
Governed Budgets and Approvals
Lock each project's budget with an approval, then change it only through routed, versioned revisions, so every cost change gets the right sign-off and a permanent record.
For franchise groups
For franchise groups running full-service brands
Many of the largest franchise groups run a casual dining brand next to quick-service ones, each on a different prototype with its own franchisor review. RolloutIQ keeps them in one workspace, tagged by brand.
Franchisor approvals as milestones
Put plan approval and the franchisor's final inspection into every prototype template and give each one an owner.
Brand on every store
The store and project lists, Reports, and Portfolio Explorer can each show one brand, and portfolio health groups by brand across the company.
Contractor access by store
Assign each general contractor to the restaurants it is building. Its people can open those projects and none of the others.
Single Source of Truth
One source of truth for your Restaurants portfolio
As your Restaurants footprint grows across sites, the same store ends up spread across separate spreadsheets and point tools, and the numbers drift apart. RolloutIQ™ keeps one durable record per store from the first deal through opening day, so your Restaurants rollout runs on one set of numbers every team can trust across the whole multi-site portfolio.
