FAQ

How soon can we open

With a ready site and realistic scope the range is three to eight weeks. Permits and fit out drive the timeline.

Do you work outside Klang Valley

Yes. Travel costs apply for on site work. Remote planning works well for early phases.

Can you help hire staff

We prepare role definitions, interview scripts and training packs and can support shortlisting with your HR partner.

What is the typical budget

Small cafe capex often sits around RM 80k to 150k. Casual dining is higher. We map capex and opex with a clear runway.
