Knock-down restaurant

A Hong Kong based international architectural and interior-design firm is now offering to ship a fully equipped, prefabricated Chinese restaurant anywhere in the world. The company designs and provides everything from chopsticks to uniforms, ceiling decorations, floor coverings, furniture, exterior facades and, if needed, will send along a six-month supply of food ingredients and an experienced chef, as well.

A 450 square metre restaurant at a cost of about $100,000 can be set up within three months of receiving the order. The first order is reported to have come from a customer in Australia.
