Coffee shop renovation scope for kopitiams and hawker stalls
Here, “coffee shop” means a kopitiam, hawker stall or shared food-court operation. A specialty espresso cafe has a different service flow and should use the separate cafe renovation guide; keeping the briefs separate prevents the wrong exhaust, counter and seating assumptions.
- Single stall fit-out — strip, retile, new counter, stainless cladding, sink, signage and exhaust connection check.
- Drink stall — beverage counter, ice machine, blender station, water filter, fridge.
- Cooked-food stall — wok station, gas line, exhaust hood (or hood-canopy connection), grease trap.
- Coffee shop common area — flooring, lighting, ceiling cleaning / replacement, partition wall, queue zoning.
- Rest-room and dishwashing area — wet area waterproofing, drains, hand-wash basin, dishwasher loop.
- Submission checks — confirm which grease-trap, stall-layout, town-council, landlord or HDB shopfront requirements apply to the specific premises and scope.
