CG Moving Company provides restaurant moving services and retail moving services for full-service restaurants, fast-casual operations, bars and nightclubs, retail boutiques, specialty stores, and food service businesses across San Francisco and the Bay Area. Restaurant moves cover commercial kitchen equipment, refrigeration units, cooking equipment, bar infrastructure, and dining room furniture. Retail moves cover display cases, shelving and fixtures, point-of-sale systems, and merchandise inventory.
Restaurant and retail moves run outside business hours. A restaurant cannot shut down for a move during a lunch or dinner service; most restaurant moves in San Francisco and the Bay Area run overnight or over a weekend when the business is closed. Retail moves follow the same pattern: the store opens in the new location without customers seeing the transition. CG Moving Company schedules around these constraints as standard.
Short and long-term storage at the South San Francisco warehouse for surplus IT equipment, peripherals, and assets during phased transitions.
Enterprise-scale multi-phase corporate moves for restaurant and retail chains relocating or consolidating multiple locations under one project.
Single-office and single-floor relocations for businesses of any size across San Francisco. For enterprise-scale multi-phase moves, corporate relocation services on this page apply.

Restaurant and retail moves vary by business type, the volume of commercial equipment, and the access constraints at origin and destination. CG Moving Company handles the following restaurant and retail business types across San Francisco and the Bay Area.
Moves for full-service restaurants covering commercial kitchen equipment, refrigeration units, cooking lines, hood systems, walk-in coolers, bar infrastructure, POS hardware, dining room furniture, and decorative elements. Full-service restaurant moves require careful planning around the kitchen equipment layout at the destination. Most run Friday night through Sunday to allow the restaurant to open Monday.
Moves for counter-service restaurants, fast-casual operations, and quick-service locations. These moves are typically faster than full-service restaurant moves because the kitchen equipment is lighter and the dining area is simpler. The scheduling constraint is usually the landlord's access window at the new location.
Bar and nightclub moves involving draft systems, back-bar refrigeration, bar furniture, audio equipment, and lighting fixtures. Draft system disconnection and reconnection is coordinated with the draught contractor; CG Moving Company handles the physical move of equipment between disconnect and reconnect.
Espresso machine moves, coffee equipment, display cases, pastry refrigerators, and cafe furniture. Espresso machines are heavy precision equipment and are moved with extra care. Equipment disconnection and gas line work is coordinated with the relevant contractors before the move begins.
Retail store moves covering display cases, shelving and fixtures, point-of-sale systems, and merchandise. Retail moves are scheduled around lease end and new-location opening dates, and often run over a weekend so the store opens in the new location without any customer-facing downtime.
Multi-location openings, closings, or transitions for restaurant and retail chains. Chain moves benefit from a standardized inventory and move protocol developed at the first location and applied to subsequent ones.
CG Moving handles every step: pre-move survey, COI, loading, and placement at destination.
CG Moving Company uses a pre-move equipment survey, written inventory, after-hours scheduling, and destination placement verification to manage restaurant and retail moves from the initial walkthrough through the final setup.
A surveyor walks the origin with the business owner or manager before any estimate is confirmed. The survey documents every piece of commercial kitchen equipment, fixture, display case, and fitting by position. The output is a written equipment inventory and a destination layout plan so the crew knows exactly where everything goes in the new space. Equipment that requires specialist disconnection is identified and a contractor coordination plan is confirmed before move day.
Commercial kitchen equipment is heavy, expensive, and sensitive to movement. Refrigeration units are drained and padded for transport. Cooking equipment is secured and wrapped. POS systems and electronics are boxed and labeled. For equipment requiring gas line, refrigerant, or electrical disconnection before transport, CG Moving Company coordinates timing with the relevant licensed contractor so that move day runs as a single connected sequence.
Restaurant and retail moves run after close-of-business: overnight, on Saturdays, or over a full weekend. The schedule is confirmed with building management at both locations for freight elevator access, parking, and COI requirements. The crew works from the written inventory, placing each item in its documented destination position.
Equipment is placed to the destination layout at the close of the move. The business owner or manager walks the new space with the crew to verify placement. Any items not yet reconnected are documented for the contractor. A delivery record closes the move. The business is ready for reconnection and setup on the agreed date.
Restaurant and retail move costs depend on kitchen equipment type, display cases, and installation.
Restaurant and retail move costs depend on the volume and type of commercial equipment, contractor coordination requirements, access at origin and destination, and the scheduling window available.
The volume and complexity of commercial kitchen equipment, refrigeration, bar infrastructure, display cases, and retail fixtures. Heavy equipment like walk-in coolers or commercial ovens takes more time and requires more crew than standard restaurant furniture.
Equipment requiring a licensed contractor for disconnection or reconnection before or after the move adds coordination steps. Gas lines, refrigerant systems, draft beer systems, and electrical disconnects are common in restaurant moves.
Freight elevator windows, parking at both locations, COI requirements for building management, and the available scheduling window. A move that must complete in one overnight session costs more than one with a full weekend.
Common factors that affect a restaurant or retail move estimate:
Volume of commercial kitchen equipment, refrigeration units, and cooking line components
Whether any equipment requires licensed contractor disconnection before transport (gas, refrigerant, electrical)
Weight of items: commercial refrigerators, ovens, and bar equipment significantly affect crew and truck requirements
Freight elevator access windows and loading dock availability at origin and destination
COI requirements at both locations: additional insured wording and waiver of subrogation from building management
Scheduling window: one overnight session vs. a full weekend affects crew scheduling and costs
CG Moving Company reviews equipment volume and type, contractor coordination requirements, access conditions, and scheduling window before preparing a written estimate. Projects are priced on a flat or hourly rate specific to the scope. No charges are added after the estimate is signed.
