Ideas on Layout and Design for Your Restaurant

​While exceptional food and quality customer service are critical to running a business, setting the ambiance and atmosphere of the restaurant is just as vital. You’ll want customers to be at ease as they enjoy their meals. Restaurant design sets the mood and standards of your guests.

Seating Capacity 
First of all, the maximum capacity must not overrule the welcoming ambiance. Both should tip the scale equally. This means you’ll want to attract enough customers to maintain your profit while also keeping the comfort of your guests at bay. However, there are a variety of restaurants that focus more on the other, such as diners and fine dining restaurants. Diners tend to seat more people, while fine dining restaurants complement the ambiance more.

Problem Areas
Perfect restaurants don’t have an area called a “bad table.” Unfortunately, there is always that place in the dining room that most customers tend to avoid. Among these restaurant problem areas are tables that are near comfort rooms, the front entrance, and the kitchen entrance. Tables glued in the middle of the room is also not a very popular place to sit either. For design ideas to make these places more attractive, you can add dividers such as tall plants, screens, or wooden partitions.

To spot a problem area before you open your restaurant, try to sit in every chair in the room and evaluate the views and surroundings of each seat. You might realize that there are those with the restroom view and one with a draft from the entrance door.

Music
You’ll want the perfect tune to set the tone and atmosphere in your restaurant. This will have to complement the style of your menu and the paintings you chose to display. For your staff’s sake, try to avoid repetitive music as they will have to listen to it throughout their shift. Although having a radio is less costly for casual establishments, non-commercial channels are still preferred.

Albeit expensive, live entertainment sets a special kind of ambiance in the room. Excellent musicians are most likely to attract more customers than any specialties on the menu. Plenty of restaurants cater to live music to feature on weekends or specific nights of the week.

In the course of your business, losses and damages, such as broken kitchenware, are difficult to avoid. Make sure to have the appropriate business insurance to cover instances like these.
