Reimaging Programme
A national corporate reimaging programme delivering a consistent, high-quality brand refresh across multiple restaurant locations at the same time.
The brief
What we were
asked to solve
Reimaging at national scale is a logistics problem before it is a building one. Every site has to land on an identical brand standard while working inside the quirks of its own building, and most of them have to reopen within days of the work starting.
Fast-track programmes, then, with no room to trade quality for speed. That is the bit most contractors struggle with.
Restaurants often reopen within days of works starting. The programme has to be quick and the finish still has to be right.
Our approach
How Cornerstone
delivered it
We ran teams across several sites at once and made the joinery in our own Lancashire facility, which is the only reliable way to guarantee the brand detail matches from one restaurant to the next.
Around that sat the programme management a national operator needs: clear communication, weekly certainty about what happens next, and zero-tolerance snagging before anyone hands back a set of keys.
The result
What we
achieved
Multiple sites delivered at once, to a consistent brand standard across every location.
All bespoke joinery manufactured in-house, giving brand consistency third-party supply chains cannot match.
Fast-track programmes hit, so restaurants went back to trading on time.
A relationship now past twenty years, which only comes from delivering consistently.
Outstanding feedback from the estates team, who treat us as an extension of their own delivery capability.
