Ideas for a burger joint?

Question from Dennise: 

Hi Jake, We are opening up a burger place and we just rented a mess. All the furniture will be gone, they are all previous owners. I know the place is a mess, but I have high hopes. I want the place look cozy, warm and not so pricey. It is mainly a burger place. I want to change the flooring and maybe add some windows too, but I am totally clueless about what to do, so I would greatly appreciate your ideas! 

Jake's Answer: 

Dennise,

Sorry, but I won’t be able to help you with this question.  I would strongly urge you to consult with an architect or interior designer that can visit with you at the site and see what you have to work with.  Make sure you have a budget in mind for the improvements you want to make. 

Since this most likely represents a sizable investment on your part, don’t short-change this important step.  

Good luck!
