Lion Craft

The seating is only half the front of house. The host stand a guest meets first, the service stations your staff work from all night, the back bar behind the bartender, the paneling that gives a room its character — all of it is restaurant millwork, and all of it should be built to the same standard as the booths. Lion Craft is a custom hospitality manufacturer in Phoenix. We build restaurant booths and banquettes, and we build the restaurant millwork that completes the room, so an operator or a general contractor can source the whole front of house from one shop, on one schedule, with one point of accountability.

What we build

  • Host & hostess stands — the first impression of the room, built to your finish and your logo.
  • Maître d’ and reservation desks for higher-volume and fine-dining floors.
  • Server and barista service stations — durable, functional casework sized to your service flow.
  • Back bars and bar millwork — bottle displays, under-bar cabinetry, and bar die.
  • Banquette-integrated millwork — dividers, planter walls, and partitions that tie into the seating we build.
  • Wall paneling and feature walls that carry a concept’s design language.
  • Custom tables, tops, and retail or display casework.

Millwork We Have Built

Bar dies, back bars, host stands, service stations, paneling, and casework from our Phoenix shop. Filter by city to see millwork we have installed near you.

Built to a designer’s spec

We work from your package. Send drawings and a finish schedule and we produce shop drawings for approval before anything is cut. Customer’s own material and specified finishes are welcome, construction is hospitality-grade, and we coordinate delivery and installation with your construction schedule so the millwork lands when the room is ready for it.

One shop, one point of accountability

The advantage of building millwork and seating under one roof is simple: the finishes match, the schedules align, and there is one team responsible for both. If you’re already speccing booths and banquettes, adding the host stand, service stations, and back bar to the same order removes a sub, a schedule, and a finish-matching headache. See our restaurant booths and banquettes, built by the same shop. Our restaurant-booth division, Custom Built Booths, handles seating-only projects.

Restaurant Millwork Questions, Answered

What counts as restaurant millwork?

Everything wood-built and fixed to the room: bar dies and back bars, host stands, server and POS stations, wall paneling, wine displays, banquette substructures, and casework. If it’s on your architect’s millwork schedule, it’s what our shop builds.

Do you produce shop drawings?

Yes — every millwork package gets dimensioned shop drawings for approval before fabrication, detailed to hospitality construction standards and coordinated with your finish schedule.

Can you match an existing finish or brand standard?

Yes. Finishing happens in our controlled spray environment — stains, conversion varnish, and catalyzed lacquer — matched to your sample or brand standard.

Do you work with general contractors on schedule?

Constantly. We sequence fabrication and installation around your construction schedule, deliver finished pieces, and install with our own crews — one trade, one point of contact.
