What is a prefabricated cafe?

Prefabricated steel cafes (steel frame cafes) are a business model that has been around for a long time but has become more popular recently. As the name suggests, this cafe model is built on a frame made of steel bars.
The main structure uses steel beams, prefabricated steel... produced directly from the factory. After completion, it will be assembled according to the drawings. Thanks to that, it will save a huge amount of cost.
 

Advantages and disadvantages of prefabricated steel cafe design

Similar to other coffee shop models, building a prefabricated steel coffee shop will also have its own advantages and disadvantages.

Advantage

Due to the simple material design and quick assembly process, prefabricated steel cafes will bring the following advantages:

• Possessing rustic but equally modern raw materials, impressing customers with beautiful textures.
• The installation process is simple, does not take up much space, so it saves costs compared to other coffee shop models.
• Easy to expand the shop thanks to the convenience in the assembly process.
• Construction time is 50% shorter than conventional coffee shops (concrete, steel).
• Steel frames are meticulously designed based on drawings, ensuring strong and sturdy joints. Quality steel frames can withstand 15-20 times more force than concrete.
• The design of the prefabricated steel cafe  is compact, does not use much thick concrete, creating an airy space.

Disadvantages

Although it brings many advantages in business, prefabricated steel cafe design still has some disadvantages to note:

• Prefabricated steel cafes can be limited in height, usually these types of cafes are only built up to 2 floors.
• Materials must be manufactured according to drawing specifications to ensure durability during use.
• Steel is a material that is quite poor at resisting heat, so additional fire-resistant coatings need to be used.
• Steel frames absorb a lot of heat so a good cooling system is needed.
• Although it has a higher load-bearing capacity than concrete, in terms of long-term durability, the traditional coffee shop model is still better than prefabricated steel coffee shops.
