Indicative interior-only range for planning, not a quote. Excludes GST, kitchen equipment, licences, rent deposits and major landlord or base-building upgrades.
The calculator starts from SprintCo’s published per-sq-ft benchmarks for restaurant interiors, then adjusts for format, city and site. The formula is simple: area × finish rate × format × city × site.
Budget ₹800–1,200, mid-range ₹1,500–2,500 and premium ₹2,800–5,000+ per sq ft, for a restaurant in a metro on a bare shell. These are the same benchmarks as our restaurant interior design cost guide.
Bars and pubs cost more per sq ft (bar counter, back bar, acoustics and lighting). Kiosks cost more per sq ft because counters, services and signage are spread over a small area. Cloud kitchens cost less, with no dine-in finishes.
Tier 2 and tier 3 cities are usually lower on labour-heavy work, while materials and equipment cost much the same. Reusing an existing restaurant’s services saves money; converting an office or shop to F&B usually adds services work.
| Factor | Adjustment to the per-sq-ft rate |
|---|---|
| Restaurant, café, QSR | Base rate |
| Bar, pub or brewery | +15% |
| Kiosk | +30% |
| Cloud kitchen | −20% |
| Tier 2 city / tier 3 city | −10% / −15% |
| Existing F&B site / converted non-F&B space | −10% / +10% |

As a planning benchmark, restaurant interiors in a metro run about ₹800–1,200 per sq ft for a budget setup, ₹1,500–2,500 for mid-range and ₹2,800–5,000+ for premium concepts. Format, city and site condition move the number up or down, which is what this calculator adjusts for.
For a restaurant on a bare shell in a metro, roughly ₹8–12 lakh at a budget finish, ₹15–25 lakh mid-range and ₹28–50 lakh+ premium, for interiors only. See the 1,000 sq ft cost breakdown for what sits inside and outside that number.
No. It is an indicative range to help you plan and compare. A real number needs a site survey, an agreed scope and a bill of quantities. Share your site details below and we will come back with a scope-based estimate.
A kiosk still needs a counter, services, lighting, signage and display, but those costs are spread over a very small area, so the per-sq-ft rate is higher even though the total is lower.
No. Kitchen equipment, GST, licences, rent deposits and major landlord upgrades are budgeted separately. Our commercial kitchen equipment guide has a printable checklist for the kitchen.
Yes. We plan design, MEP and build together so the budget is checked during design, not after. See our restaurant fit-out service.
