Why operators appoint us
An F&B opening is an operating deadline.
Kitchen and front of house resolve together
Extract, make-up air, drainage, power and fire strategy are coordinated with the dining room finishes before the design is frozen, so the back of house never compromises what the guest sees.
Approvals sit inside the programme
Landlord requirements, authority submissions and inspections are identified before mobilisation and sequenced against the opening date, not discovered on site.
One team through testing and handover
The same structure that builds the interior stays through commissioning, snagging and handback, so responsibility does not dissolve between trades at the point the venue has to open.
Restaurant & F&B scope
Front of house, back of house and the delivery that joins them.
Front of house
Dining, private dining and waiting areas. Bars, counters and host stations. Banquettes and bespoke furniture. Joinery, panelling and feature ceilings. Stone, tile, metalwork and specialist finishes. Lighting and acoustic interfaces.
Kitchen & back-of-house interfaces
Equipment-layout coordination, extract and make-up air, HVAC, power, drainage and plumbing, fire and life-safety measures, back-of-house joinery, and testing, commissioning and handover.
Delivery
Design development and shop drawings, scope, cost and programme control, samples and mock-ups, procurement, manufacturing and inspection, and site management, installation, snagging and handover.
Where Método fits
We build the approved concept. We do not replace its designer.
Método does not replace the restaurant concept designer. It takes approved design intent to a buildable state, coordinates the technical and operational requirements behind it, manufactures the bespoke elements and delivers the appointed scope.
Specialist package
One defined workstream, such as joinery, banquette furniture, feature ceilings or GRP and GRG elements, delivered against the main contractor's programme.
Integrated fit-out
Several connected workstreams coordinated under one interface, so finishes, services and FF&E arrive in the right sequence.
Complete interior delivery
The whole interior scope under one accountable contract, from design development through manufacture, installation, testing and handover.

Restaurant fit-out FAQ
Questions F&B operators ask first.
- What does a restaurant fit-out include?
- Scope is project-specific and may include design development, partitions, ceilings, flooring, joinery, bars, banquettes, specialist finishes, FF&E, kitchen and MEP interfaces, testing, snagging and handover. Exact inclusions and exclusions are stated before contract.
- How much does it cost to fit out a restaurant in Dubai?
- There is no responsible generic square-metre rate. Shell condition, kitchen and extract requirements, MEP capacity, authority work, bespoke joinery, specification, access and programme all materially affect cost. Método prices against the current design, equipment schedule, services information and opening date, with assumptions and exclusions stated explicitly.
- Do you handle the kitchen and MEP?
- We coordinate kitchen equipment with extract, make-up air, HVAC, drainage, power, the fire strategy and the front-of-house finishes that sit over them. Where these packages sit within Método's contract we deliver, test and commission them; where they sit with others, we manage the defined interfaces.
- Do you obtain restaurant approvals in Dubai?
- Responsibilities are agreed per project. Método can coordinate information, technical interfaces, landlord requirements and inspections within its appointed scope. The contract states who makes and signs each statutory submission.
- Can you work in an operating hotel or live venue?
- Yes, where the work can be phased safely. The programme sets access, noise, dust, isolations, night work, protection and clean handback around the venue's trading requirements.
- Are you an interior design studio?
- No. Método is a specialist main contractor and delivery partner that develops an approved design to a buildable state and coordinates the technical interfaces behind it.
- Can you deliver several restaurant or café locations?
- Yes. An approved prototype and control samples govern repeated joinery, furniture and finishes, while the programme, approvals and installation are set per location.
