Building a Scalable Foundation for Growth

As Portillo’s, a fast-casual restaurant chain, continues expanding into new markets, maintaining consistency, controlling costs, and evolving the customer experience have become increasingly important. PM Design partners with Portillo’s to support prototype development, new restaurant construction, and remodel programs across the country.

Working closely with client stakeholders, our teams provide architecture, engineering, and project management services that help align operational goals, brand standards, and development objectives across a growing portfolio.

 

Evolving the Prototype While Reducing Cost

PM Design supports Portillo’s through prototype development and management, schematic design, design development, value engineering, surveys, and project management. Our team helped implement nationwide cost-saving strategies, including structural reductions and prototype optimizations and applied lessons across multiple locations. 

By maintaining proactive communication with landlords, developers, and internal teams, PM Design helps provide consistent design quality, streamlined construction, and measurable reductions in building costs–helping the client achieve their vision of an efficient, modernized “restaurant of the future.”
