Design and Construction
Max & Erma's takes pride in creating a building design that fully supports our unique character. We have translated that design to a number of floor plans that can be adapted to many sites and anticipated business conditions. We also have experienced a great success in designing locations for non-traditional sites that produce outstanding results, for example, Airports and Hotels. Our designers and construction project managers will work in concert with your architect and contractor to translate our design criteria and expedite construction of your building. In 2006, we introduced our new prototype which has been well received by our loyal guests and has brought great success.

We provide all Strategic Partners with a complete set of manuals that describe and explain how to implement our systems, procedures, and food and service standards.
