5 Construction Decisions That Matter Most in a Toastique Build-Out
90 Degree Construction was hired by the franchise owners to complete the build-out of a new Toastique Marietta, transforming a former fan merchandise store into a fully functioning fast-casual restaurant. The compact footprint required careful planning to accommodate a large order and service counter with custom sneeze guard glass, a small but efficient kitchen, two restrooms, and a dedicated dine-in seating area.
Located in a busy shopping center anchored by high-traffic tenants such as Trader Joe’s and CVS, the project demanded close coordination and thoughtful sequencing. The build-out incorporated franchise-specific finishes, including custom millwork, tile, flooring, mural walls, and a ceiling trellis feature, all of which required precision installation to meet brand standards while supporting durability and daily operations.

With that context in mind, here are five construction decisions that matter most in a Toastique build-out:
1. Early Coordination with Franchise Requirements
Understanding Toastique’s brand standards early allowed franchise-specific elements — including custom millwork, the ceiling trellis feature, tile, flooring, mural walls, and sneeze guard glass — to be planned and installed correctly from the start.
2. Layout Planning for Customer and Staff Flow
Careful planning ensured the large service counter, kitchen, and seating area function efficiently within a limited footprint while maintaining clear sightlines and smooth circulation.
3. Coordinating Multiple Deliveries and Installations
Restaurant build-outs often involve key components arriving in phases. For this project, coordinating two separate kitchen equipment shipments, along with delivery and placement of dining furniture tables, required precise scheduling and sequencing to avoid delays and protect finished spaces.
4. Material Selections That Balance Aesthetics and Durability
Franchise-specific materials were selected and installed to maintain Toastique’s clean, modern aesthetic — including elevated elements like the ceiling trellis — while holding up to the demands of a high-traffic shopping center environment.

5. Consistent Quality Control Throughout Construction
Maintaining oversight from rough-ins through final installation ensured brand standards were met and the space was ready for a smooth opening.
