Overview

EvacPath makes AS 3745-compliant evacuation diagrams for restaurants and hospitality venues from A$70 per diagram (Basic A$280 for up to 4 diagrams, Standard A$420 for up to 8), delivered as print-ready PDFs in 3 to 5 business days with no site visit. You see your first draft before you pay.

Restaurants, cafes, pubs, and bars are busy places with customers who do not know the layout. In an emergency, clear evacuation diagrams help staff guide patrons to safety quickly. Venues of every size need an emergency plan under work health and safety law, and Australian Standard AS 3745 is the benchmark for the diagrams that go with it.

Section 02

Why restaurants need diagrams

  • High turnover of customers who have never been in the building before
  • Kitchen areas present specific fire risks
  • Staff need clear guidance on evacuation routes and assembly points
  • Liquor licensing and council inspections may require proof of compliance
  • Insurance providers may check for current evacuation diagrams
Section 03

Where to install diagrams

  • Near the main customer entrance
  • In the kitchen (visible to all kitchen staff)
  • Near staff-only exits and back doors
  • In storage areas and cool rooms
  • Near the bar or service counter
Section 04

Common challenges

Hospitality venues often have compact, complex layouts with kitchens, storage, cool rooms, and multiple exit paths. Diagrams need to be clear and readable at a glance, even in high-stress situations.

What clients say
Read case studies
“We were fitting out a new clinic and needed evacuation diagrams before opening. John drew them from our architect's plan, no site visit needed, and the first draft was with us within days. Really easy.”
A cosmetic clinic owner, Hobart, Tas.Cosmetic clinic, 4 diagrams
“We needed five evacuation plans for a client's three-level office fit-out. John drew them from the designer's as-built drawings, no site visit, and the set went to our client the day it arrived. John was responsive, proactive and extremely clear in communication. Extremely pleased with the process and delivered product. Would highly recommend to any landlord or facilities management teams.”

FAQ

Restaurants FAQ

Do small cafes still need AS 3745 diagrams?

Yes. Size does not remove the emergency planning duty that comes with being a workplace, and the diagrams follow the same AS 3745 rules as a large venue. A small cafe still has a kitchen with fire risk, customers unfamiliar with the layout, and licensing inspections that check for current diagrams. The diagrams may be simpler than a multi-room restaurant, but they still need to be in place and up to date.

Are kitchen diagrams different from front-of-house?

Each diagram shows the area where it is mounted plus the path to the nearest exits and assembly point. A kitchen diagram emphasises kitchen-specific fire equipment such as the suppression hood, extinguishers, and gas isolation, while a dining-room diagram focuses on customer egress. Both share the same site plan and assembly area so the diagrams stay consistent across the venue.

How quickly can we get diagrams before an inspection?

Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 business days from receiving your floor plan and information. If your inspection is sooner, contact us directly: in many cases we can prioritise your job. Most hospitality venues are happy after a quick round of refinement because the layouts are well defined.

EvacPath. We make AS 3745-compliant evacuation diagrams for restaurants and hospitality venues from A$70 per diagram, fully remote with no site inspection or site visit, and you see your first draft before you pay.

Send your floor plan and we confirm the exact diagram count and price before any work starts, and you see your first draft before you pay.
