A modular restaurant or coffee-shop building, as Herauf builds it, is a food-service building made complete inside a factory and delivered finished to its site, where it is set in days. The standard Coffee Shop layout in the Herauf commercial catalogue is 50' × 18', with a kitchen and a pass-through window, and it meets or exceeds CSA A277 and the National Building Code like every other unit off the line.
For a site in Regina or southern Saskatchewan, the commercial modular buildings in Regina page covers the Zehner plant twenty minutes from the city. Everywhere else, the modular commercial buildings page shows the full range and the delivered projects. The rest of this article is what a food-service unit looks like and how it gets built.
What layouts are published
Two food-service layouts are printed in the commercial brochure. The Coffee Shop is 50' × 18' with a kitchen and a pass-through window. Concessions come in 30' × 20' and 42' × 18', both with washrooms and a change room. The washroom and shower line adds a 42' × 18' building with washrooms, a canteen and a change room. The full list is on the commercial catalogue.
Can the layout be changed?
Yes. The published sizes are a starting point, not a limit. Offices, washrooms, medical and retail buildings all start from a proven layout and get changed to suit the use, and a restaurant or coffee shop is drawn the same way. Send the use, the size and the site, and the quote is built around them.
What comes built in
The building is framed, wired, plumbed, insulated and finished indoors before it travels. Electric heat is standard and solar is optional. Where a site needs the building to move later, it can be specified on a steel skid with plumbing, electrical and HVAC self-contained, so the building can be lifted and relocated rather than rebuilt.
How long it takes
Most Herauf builds are manufactured and delivered in about 16 weeks, up to 50% faster than conventional construction. The time comes from running two schedules at once: the site work goes ahead on the lot while the building is produced indoors, out of the weather. Once it arrives, the crew on the lot is there for days rather than months.
What Herauf has delivered for public use
The delivered work closest to food service is buildings that take daily public traffic. The accessible washroom building at the Town of Pilot Butte spray park, ten minutes east of Regina, was delivered on time and within budget. A washroom and shower facility for a glamping resort at Diefenbaker Lake arrived ready for the season. Twin Valley Co-op's cardlock facility went in with touchless fixtures, epoxy floors and mechanical ventilation. Those projects, and the signed reference letters behind them, show the build standard a food-service unit gets.

Every building is quoted to its use and site, so there is no list price. Tell Herauf the menu you plan to serve, the size you have in mind and where the lot is, through the free quote form or by phone at 1.639.382.4106. A written quote usually comes back within one business day.
Common questions

A food-service building built complete as finished sections inside a factory, then delivered to its site and set ready to operate. Herauf's standard Coffee Shop layout is 50' × 18' with a kitchen and a pass-through window, and every unit meets or exceeds CSA A277 and the National Building Code.

How long does a modular food-service building take?
Most Herauf builds are manufactured and delivered in about 16 weeks, up to 50% faster than conventional construction, because site work runs in parallel with production. Once the finished building arrives, installation is measured in days.
