What's Included with Coffee Drive-Thru Plans?
Coffee Drive-Thru Plans have been designed to be a complete set of working drawings for the construction of your espresso drive-thru building. Choose from one of 3 different floor plans, and 12 different exterior design concepts, or design your own unique exterior.
You will receive a link to download your drawings and all included support materials from the website: "Transfer Big Files." You can then slide the PDF copies of your drawings onto a memory stick and take them to any retailer who can make large format copies, such as Fed-X/Kinkos, Staples, Office Depot, or a local blueprint shop. An "authorization to make copies" letter is included with your support materials. Please understand that we must receive notification from PayPal of your payment before we will send you a link for your materials. This process is not automated, so while receiving your link will usually occur within a few hours, it could take as long as 48 hours if we are not in our offices, or in an area where we cannot receive a cell phone signal or Wifi. If you would prefer that we supply your w/ physical drawing hard copies (2-sets), and a memory stick w/ support materials to be mailed to your address within the United States, add $250. We do not send physical materials outside of the 50 United States.

What else will you need? We highly recommend that you use a qualified, licensed, general contractor, with affiliations with competent sub contractors, to construct your building using our plans. Your contractor should be willing to obtain all permits, and address any issues which may arise at inspections.
What about your local bureaucratic codes? We have designed these buildings to the highest standards, and the most current and stringent construction and food service codes. However, being compliant with the specific codes and preferred construction methods for each and every bureaucratic administration across America, is an impossibility. While the majority of bureaucracies may require no adjustments to these plans, some undoubtedly will.
