Restaurants, cafes, and bars built to work as good as they look. Local trades, owner-managed since 1983.
Hospitality Shopfitting on the Sunshine Coast
A hospitality venue lives or dies on the feel of the space. People remember how a restaurant made them feel before they remember what they ate. But behind the atmosphere is a space that has to function under pressure. Fast service, tight kitchens, health codes, council sign-off. It all matters.
LJ Shopfitters has been fitting out cafes, restaurants, and bars across the Sunshine Coast for over four decades. We've done the lot. Full restaurant builds. Bar constructions from scratch. Cafe counters that handle the morning rush without falling apart. Our joinery workshop in Landsborough means every bar top, counter, and custom piece is built by us, in-house.
Leo and Andrew handle every project personally. They know the Sunshine Coast council requirements. They know the food safety specs. And they know that your venue needs to open on time because every day it's closed is money gone.
We Know Hospitality Compliance
Food safety regs, ventilation requirements, grease trap specs, council approvals. We've dealt with all of it on Sunshine Coast hospitality builds. You won't need to teach us what BCA compliance means or how a commercial kitchen has to be laid out. We already know.
Custom Bar and Counter Builds
Your bar or cafe counter is the centrepiece of your venue. We build them in our Landsborough workshop to your exact design. Timber, stone, mixed materials. Whatever suits the look. And because we build it ourselves, we can adjust the design right up until it leaves the workshop.
Owner-Run, Not Franchise-Run
There's no head office. No franchise fee baked into your quote. Leo and Andrew own the business, run the jobs, and build the work. That keeps our overheads lower and our accountability higher. The person who gives you the quote is the same person who'll be on your site.
Full Venue Fitouts
We handle the whole space. Kitchen, front of house, bar, seating areas, outdoor dining. You don't need to split the work across multiple contractors and hope they coordinate. One team, one timeline, one person to call if something needs fixing.
Our Process
Consultation
We'll meet you at the venue (or look over the lease plans if you're still signing). Leo or Andrew will walk the space with you and talk through the layout, the menu style, the vibe you're after, and the compliance boxes you need to tick. It's a real conversation, not a sales pitch.
Design
We put together a detailed plan covering the kitchen layout, front of house, bar (if you've got one), counter placement, and customer flow. Food safety and ventilation requirements get designed in from the start, not bolted on later. You'll know exactly what the space will look like before we pick up a tool.
Build
Custom pieces (bar tops, counters, cabinetry, shelving) get built in our workshop in Landsborough. On-site, we work fast to get you open sooner. We coordinate around your other trades if needed, and we keep the site clean. Nobody wants sawdust in their cool room.
Handover
We walk the venue with you before we call it done. Every door, every drawer, every fixture gets checked. If the council inspector needs something adjusted, we handle it. You open your doors with a space that works from day one.
