Restaurants, cafés & kitchens

Restaurant moving services in the Treasure Valley

Kitchen equipment, dining rooms, bars and decor, moved on a schedule built around your service hours and your reopening date.

Moved like a Friday-night rush

Every day your restaurant sits between locations is a day without sales. We plan a restaurant move the way a good kitchen runs a rush: organized, fast, no wasted motion. We're veteran-owned and operated, and that discipline shows in the plan.

A coffee shop in downtown Boise, a family restaurant in Nampa, a full commercial kitchen in Meridian: our crew shows up with a plan, the right equipment and enough people to get you cooking in the new space.

Heavy kitchen equipment

Ranges and ovens, commercial refrigerators and freezers, prep tables, stainless shelving, dish machines, fryers, griddles and that big industrial mixer. Our crews bring the dollies, ramps and straps to move it safely, and protect the floors, corners and door frames at both buildings.

Dining room, bar and decor

The dining room is where your brand lives. We move tables, chairs, booths, bar stools, host stands, patio furniture, shelving, glassware racks and the decor that makes the place yours.

What we don't move

  • Food and perishable inventory. We don't hold a food license, so food goes separately, with your team or your distributor. Better to say that up front.
  • Anything still connected. Gas, plumbing and hardwired electrical must be disconnected by a licensed technician before moving day. Once they are, we handle the lifting.

Scheduled around service

Restaurants can't close for a week to move. We build the plan around your hours and your reopening date: early mornings before prep, after close, or a tight turnaround between your last service at the old place and your first at the new one.

Hung back up at the new place

Anything we take off your walls goes back up on the new ones: TVs, menu boards, framed art, mirrors, signs and shelving. You're not chasing a handyman during reopening week.

Clear pricing. After a short walkthrough you get a free written quote showing the crew, the trucks, the hourly rate and the travel fee up front, with what's included. Nothing gets added on moving day that wasn't on the quote, unless the move itself changes.

Better Route Movers and Storage provided an exceptional moving experience for us. We were relocating from three storage units plus our house, a complex job that they handled flawlessly. They honored their original quote with no hidden fees, which was refreshing. …

Eric was able to get me moved 2 days after I called him. He sent me 4 young men that worked so hard . Was so respectful, to me and my old things that I couldn't part with. I was impressed beyond my expectations. Can't thank you enough Eric for the delightful young men you sent to get me moved. Price was excellent . Thank you so much. God bless you and your boys and thank you for your service in military.

Eric and his team were excellent to work with and very reasonably priced. We would recommend them to anyone moving to Idaho especially from another state. They were able to accommodate our changing schedule, loaded and delivered our things quickly without any damage. Thanks!!!

Restaurant moving questions

Can you move commercial kitchen equipment?

Yes. Ranges, ovens, commercial refrigerators and freezers, prep tables, dish machines, fryers and industrial mixers. Once gas, plumbing and electrical are disconnected, we bring the equipment and crew to move it safely.

Do you move food or perishable inventory?

No. We don't hold a food license, so we can't transport food. We move your equipment, furniture, decor and boxed smallwares. Plan to move food inventory separately or through your distributor.

Do you disconnect gas or plumbing lines?

No. Gas, plumbing and hardwired electrical connections should be disconnected by a licensed technician before moving day. Once they are, we handle the heavy lifting.

Can you move us outside our business hours?

Yes. We schedule restaurant moves around your hours and your reopening date, including early mornings, after close, or a tight turnaround between your last service and your first.

Can you store equipment between locations?

Yes. If your new space isn't ready, we can store your equipment and furnishings until it is.
