These guides are founded upon KRG Hospitality’s proprietary database of previous project costs, which includes project data from restaurants, bars, hotels developed over the past 24 months. Drawing upon this comprehensive guide, an industry leading expert has analyzed the information and provided a succinct and user-friendly summary of the findings for each major start-up category. While using this guide helps develop a rough preliminary financial and strategic milestone plan, it is strongly recommended that you seek professional expert advice to provide a more precise, project-specific estimate as each concept and market will be slightly different. KRG Hospitality Inc. is therefore not responsible for any project that is not currently under contract with the company.
