Restaurant concepts in Bali: the four formats we build.

Restaurant concepts in Bali come down to four formats, and each one changes the floor area, the kitchen, the licence code and the tax on the bill. We build all four with the Kimo Construction team: full-service restaurants, cafés and coffee shops, bars and rooftops, and beach clubs.

Area comes first. Our calculator plans about 2.6 m² of gross floor per seat for a restaurant, 2.2 m² for a café, 2.0 m² for a bar and 4.5 m² for a beach club, where pools, decks and several service points take the space. The kitchen follows: café equipment costs IDR 80–200 million, a full restaurant kitchen IDR 3.5–7 million per seat. These are indicative ranges for 2026; a fixed price follows drawings and a bill of quantities.

Licences differ more than owners expect. A restaurant is registered under business classification code (KBLI) 56101, a café under 56303, a bar under 56301. Since May 2026 the status of the lower-risk codes for new foreign-owned companies in Bali is disputed, and bar-led venues may fall under an entertainment tax of 40–75% instead of the 10% restaurant tax (Law 1/2022, as reported by Pajakku).
