Cafe Kitchen Fitouts
Kitchen planning, equipment supply, stainless steel fabrication and installation for new cafes and existing kitchens.
Planning Your Cafe Kitchen
MVO helps cafe owners plan and equip their kitchens, from a new coffee shop to a refit of an existing venue. We can help with equipment supply, stainless steel fabrication and installation.
A takeaway coffee shop needs a different setup from a cafe serving breakfast and lunch. Milk storage, preparation benches, cooking equipment and wash-up space all need to suit what you serve and how busy you expect to be. Bring a floor plan and your proposed menu so we can discuss the layout and equipment together.
We supply coffee equipment, refrigeration, cooking appliances, display units and dishwashers. There needs to be room for the equipment and its connections, as well as deliveries, ingredient storage and staff moving between workstations.
Equipment for Your Menu
At a coffee counter, milk storage, cups and order collection need to be within easy reach without crowding the barista. A breakfast or brunch menu also needs space for cooking and plating several orders at once, with enough dishwashing capacity to keep up.
For sandwiches, pastries and display food, allow for chilled ingredients, assembly, replenishment and packaging. Be clear about what is made on site and what arrives ready to serve. That helps you work out how much preparation space and storage you actually need.
If you already have appliances in mind, include their model details with your enquiry. You can also browse our equipment ranges:
Refits and Custom Stainless Steel
Our in-house stainless steel fabrication covers benches, sinks and shelving, including barista workstations. If a standard bench leaves an awkward gap or too little preparation space, a custom piece may be a better fit.
Tell us what you want to keep and what is causing problems. A crowded coffee station, too little cold storage or an awkward wash-up area gives us somewhere to start. Photos of the kitchen and model details for retained equipment are useful here.
If you need to stay open during the work, include your trading hours and any access restrictions. It also helps to separate the changes you need now from upgrades you may want to make later.
Installation and Timing
Installation, commissioning and training can be included in the agreed scope. Electrical, refrigeration and mechanical ventilation requirements should be discussed before equipment is ordered. MVO’s focus is the commercial kitchen; if the project also involves seating, shopfronts, decorative joinery or building work, let us know so responsibilities can be confirmed.
Equipment delivery is available Australia-wide. On-site fitout and installation availability needs to be confirmed for your address and project, so include the venue location when you contact us.
The time needed will depend on equipment availability, fabrication and how much work is required at the premises. Tell us your intended opening date or closure period early, along with any work being done by other contractors. A project schedule can then be discussed before an installation date is agreed.
Get a Cafe Fitout Quote
Cost depends on the equipment, custom fabrication and installation work required. A small cafe can still need significant changes if the menu calls for extra cooking or refrigeration capacity.
To help us quote, send:
- Your venue address, floor plan or measured sketch, and site photos
- Your menu, service style and expected busiest period
- The equipment you need, plus model details for items you want to keep
- Your budget, preferred timing, known service connections and access restrictions
If you are still working through some of these details, tell us what is undecided. When reviewing the quote, check what is included for delivery, installation, connection work, commissioning and training, and who will handle any separate building work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can MVO operate Australia-wide?
Yes. MVO provides cafe kitchen fitouts Australia-wide, including equipment supply, stainless steel fabrication and installation. Send your cafe location, plans and preferred timing so we can discuss your project.
Does a cafe kitchen fitout include the whole premises?
This page covers the kitchen and equipment side of your cafe fitout. If your project also involves seating, a shopfront, decorative joinery or other building work, include those requirements in your enquiry so the responsibilities can be agreed.
Can I keep my existing coffee machine or refrigeration?
Existing equipment can be considered as part of the kitchen plan. Send the make, model and dimensions of the items you want to keep, along with photos and any available service information, so they can be considered alongside the new equipment.
How much does a cafe kitchen fitout cost?
The cost depends on your menu, equipment selection, custom stainless steel work and the installation required at the site. Share your floor plan, equipment priorities and budget so we can prepare a quote for your cafe.
Can a refit be planned while my cafe keeps trading?
We can discuss the work sequence around your trading hours and the equipment you need to keep available. Tell us about access restrictions and any possible closure periods so the installation arrangements can be considered before dates are agreed.
What should I send with my cafe fitout enquiry?
Send your cafe address, floor plan or measured sketch, site photos and proposed menu. Include equipment you want to retain, your budget, preferred timing and any known service or access restrictions.
