How to Design a Restaurant
Restaurant design, and all that it entails, doesn’t just help to create a certain mood or ambiance for potential customers, but it will also directly affect the way the staff is able to function and basically determine the comfort level and satisfaction of everyone involved.
First, having a concrete plan in place that will adequately address all of the important aspects of designing your restaurant interiors will give you the edge needed to succeed in this most competitive industry.
Another crucial matter regarding your restaurant design you may want to consider early on is the issue of comfort versus practicality, which extends to just about every aspect of owning a business like a restaurant.
While you will, of course, want to optimize the available space you have to seat the most number of people possible to in turn also optimize your sales, you certainly do not want guests to be sitting on top of one another, and you’ll want the staff to be able to move about without disturbing the customers.
Traffic flow is another part of restaurant design you won’t want to overlook, taking into account the matter of the inevitable and frequent times of cross traffic. Creating “passageways” for the staff to do their jobs comfortably is imperative to keep your patrons happy, well catered to, and coming back for more time and time again.
Your restaurant design plans should also include specific ways of addressing the issue of keeping the food prep area out of sight of the diners. When kitchen areas are too close or not separated in some way from the dining area this is an intrusion to customers, making it more difficult for people to communicate over the din of the wait staff preparing the food.
Truth be told, nearly every single restaurant regardless of the size or type will have at least one problem area in the form of a “bad table,” or those that customers would prefer not to sit at like those situated near the bathrooms, the front entrance, or entryways into the kitchen.
A good, all inclusive restaurant design plan will have already addressed these issues and included a few methods of disguising or camouflaging problem spots such as the use of permanent or moveable dividers or partitions, and adding a few tall screens or plants.
Having an effective cooling, heating and ventilation system in place is yet another aspect of restaurant design to be concerned with and this is certainly one area you won’t want to compromise on.
A commercial kitchen will be emitting plenty of smoke and different smells, neither of which customers will want to be subjected to, so having the proper ventilation is critical. Equally as important are matters of heating and cooling, both of which directly affect your patron’s comfort levels as well as your profits.
Other vital issues of restaurant design to familiarize yourself with completely include lighting, the furniture and fixtures, and general aesthetic appeal both inside and out, all of which will greatly help to increase your chances of being successful. When you plan to open a restaurant you should consider these issues.
