LOTT Restaurant Construction is a full-service Commercial Construction and Consulting firm that specializes in restaurant development.
Who We Are
Over the past several decades, LOTT has carved a niche in the restaurant and hospitality fields, becoming the go-to builder for restaurateurs and designers alike. Our team has built restaurants for many of the top 20 national restaurant holding companies as well as independent and specialty small business operators.
There is no restaurant or kitchen project too large, too small, or too complex. We provide turnkey solutions for hard-to-solve problems with the client’s budget and deadline always the top priority.
With more than a quarter century of success in restaurant construction management, we have the experience and knowledge to understand your vision and turn it into reality, from soup to nuts.
As Founder Frank Lott says, “We equate the construction of a restaurant to that of a fine watch. It must be precise, exact, consistent, and on time.” That’s the LOTT way, and we stake our reputation on that!

The Brand

In 2024, LOTT Restaurant Construction reclaimed its original name to reflect our enduring focus on restaurant and hospitality projects. With over 550 restaurants completed across 22 states, the name proudly serves as both our flagship and the cornerstone of who we are. LOTT Builds remains active for retail and other non-restaurant projects. Together, these sister companies embody our legacy of excellence across the construction industry.
What We Do
We build restaurants. That’s what we do, so we speak the language. We understand the consequences of an equipment breakdown or shutdown. We build restaurants to last and to hold up to the rigorous activity of a commercial environment. LOTT guarantees bringing jobs to completion in record time, without the constant change orders most builders charge. We believe “Do it right the first time.” Our no-nonsense principles have successfully guided us through the construction of hundreds of projects nationwide and led to our stellar reputation for “getting the job done right, every time, on time.”

Why Choose Us

We are not just a general construction company. We specialize in restaurants. After investing countless hours on the menu, design, kitchen layout, equipment, and real estate, why hire just a general contractor to build your restaurant? By working with us, all you’ll need to do is stock it and operate it! That’s how LOTT is different from everyone else out there.
- Soup to nuts – If you’re building a restaurant, we have the dedicated team you need for completing every phase and component of your project. From site selection to the design, build-out and FF&E (furniture, fixtures and equipment), we can fully perform or assist your team at every stage. We can orchestrate all components of the turnkey fit-out, including permitting, programming, budget, design and construction, as well as the procurement of FF&E.
- On budget and on time – Opening on time and within budget is as important to us as it is for our clients, and critical to our success and future referrals.
- Qualified field management – All of our field personnel know restaurant construction. Since many restaurant owners are running other restaurants while building their current project, having a contractor on site that knows all critical steps to completion and has opened over 550 locations is a valuable resource that is not represented on any bid form and often overlooked.
- You’re in good hands with LOTT on the job! You’re working with one of the best in the business.
