Denver-based Rego Restaurant Group, the parent company of Quiznos and Taco Del Mar, has partnered with BCubed Manufacturing LLC to build modular restaurants. The new restaurants, dubbed “The Qube” for Quiznos and “Baja Shack” for Taco Del Mar, are designed to be small, efficient, and easy to build.
The Qube and Baja Shack restaurants are both 650 square feet in size and feature a drive-thru window. They are built off-site and then shipped to the restaurant location, where they can be assembled in just a few days. This modular construction process is much faster and more efficient than traditional restaurant construction, which can take months or even years.
The Qube and Baja Shack restaurants are also designed to be energy-efficient. They feature LED lighting and insulation that helps to keep the interior cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This helps to reduce operating costs and make the restaurants more sustainable.
Quiznos and Taco Del Mar are hoping that the modular restaurant concept will help them to expand their reach and grow their business. The small size of the restaurants makes them ideal for urban areas and other locations with limited space. The fast construction time also makes them a good option for franchisees who are looking to open a new restaurant quickly.
BCubed Manufacturing is a Michigan-based company that specializes in modular construction. The company has a long history of building modular homes and other structures, and it is now expanding into the restaurant industry. BCubed Manufacturing is confident that its modular restaurant concept will be a success, and it is excited to partner with Quiznos and Taco Del Mar on this new venture.
Benefits of Modular Restaurants
There are many benefits to modular restaurants, including:
- Faster construction time: Modular restaurants can be built in a fraction of the time it takes to build a traditional restaurant. This is because the modules are built off-site and then shipped to the restaurant location, where they can be assembled quickly.
- Lower construction costs: Modular restaurants are typically less expensive to build than traditional restaurants. This is because the modules are pre-fabricated and can be built in a factory setting, where labor costs are lower.
- Increased efficiency: Modular restaurants are designed to be efficient and easy to operate. This is because they are smaller and have less equipment than traditional restaurants.
- Reduced environmental impact: Modular restaurants are often made with sustainable materials and are designed to be energy-efficient. This helps to reduce their environmental impact.
The Future of Modular Restaurants
The modular restaurant concept is still in its early stages, but it has the potential to revolutionize the restaurant industry. Modular restaurants offer a number of advantages over traditional restaurants, including faster construction time, lower construction costs, increased efficiency, and reduced environmental impact. As the modular restaurant concept continues to develop, it is likely that we will see more and more modular restaurants being built around the world.
