Restaurant Layout- Follow These Simple Design Rules To Make Your Business A Success
Restaurant Layout- Follow These Simple Design Rules To Make Your Business A Success
Through strategic use of design, we can in fact make a valuable contribution to a business’ success. Some clients like to be ‘hands on’ during the design process, or even design their own restaurant layout and decor; some restaurateurs may be in the process of starting their first venture and perhaps cannot attract or afford an experienced designer; others meanwhile may be operating in those tricky regions where designers are few or far between, or even non-existent.
I hope these tips regarding space planning will help if you happen to be working in any of these circumstances.
Be space savvy
Good space planning is essential to success — and I do not mean squeezing in as many covers as possible.
All trained designers have been taught that form should follow function. Put into practice, this means that although it is crucial for a restaurant to be attractive in appearance, it will soon lose its allure if service is slow or inefficient as a result of the ill thought-through layout.
For this reason, back-of-house planning is just as vital as front. Your dining room is your salesroom, your kitchen is your factory; everything should be geared towards running the two together as sweetly as possible so that food arrives to the right table, at the right time, at the right temperature, with minimum disturbance to other diners.
When planning the layout, it helps if you consider a restaurant as a production line, in which each stage of the operation is laid out in the correct efficient order.
I frequently come across big mistakes. I recently redesigned a large restaurant in the UK that had been planned and built — for an experienced operator by a big firm of architects — without a dry store or an office.
The order of space planning
I recommend starting planning at the back of house — remember, function followed by form. The first piece of information

Coffee Shop Design – Innovate, Don’t Copy!
Original or bust! Copy-catting design may seem like a sure-fire recipe for success, but in the long term it will do your coffee shop more harm than good.
Here is the content of an email I received recently from a reader in Saudi Arabia:
Dear Nigel,
I am an owner of coffee drive-through and recently I opened a dine-in shop.
I designed my coffee shop to be modern, basing the style on pictures from the net and getting ideas from some famous restaurants — but the final result is not really very attractive, in my opinion
I have opened the shop, but business is slow and I feel an improvement in the design would go a long way towards attracting more customers.
How would you suggest I do this?
I often receive letters like this, from outlet owners who have copied designs and ended up with unsuccessful outlets.
To be fair, you can find these kinds of short-lived, derivative, copy-cat designs pretty much wherever you go in the world, not just in the Middle East — but it is true that most of the outlets that have sprung up in the hotels and malls of Dubai have been done before elsewhere.
If you’d prefer a new, exciting, successful outlet then you should adopt the MAYA principle: ‘Most Advanced Yet Acceptable’.
I don’t claim to have invented this ethos; it was first used by famous American industrial designer Raymond Loewy, who made fortunes convincing the corporations of America to be original by simply asserting that “ugly doesn’t sell”.
My message is that if you want to create a truly successful, recession-proof concept, you have to break the mould.
Frustratingly, my attempts to convince operators in the region to do anything new and original have nearly always been met with scepticism.
I have come to the reluctant conclusion that this comes down to a cultural division: despite its veneer of modernity, the Middle East remains obstinately
Coffee Shop Design – How To Make Your Coffee Shop A Success
Coffee Shop Design – How To Make Your Coffee Shop A Success
I am very fortunate to have a popular website about restaurant and coffee shop design which has thousands of visitors every week. As a result, very few days go by when my email inbox doesn’t contain inquiries from people who want to open their first coffee shop and would like to know more about costs and design ideas. I have been receiving these emails for many years now, and I always take the time to reply. You’d be amazed how many people are in love with the notion of opening a coffee shop.
However, have a look around your local town centre and you’re bound to notice that, whilst there will be several coffee shops; there will be very few independent operators. What prevents so many keen people from getting started? Well judging from the hundreds of emails I have received I have to say it’s naivety, although perhaps this is better expressed as an underestimation of the task.
If you are an independent operator and want to get the best living from your coffee shop or café, you have to compete with the multiples that have marched across every high street in the country. In order to successfully enter a crowded market you have to displace powerful incumbents. To do this your coffee shop has to create a clear and compelling case for its own existence.
This means you have to match every skill and resource of the chain brands, and more again. It’s for these reasons that you simply can’t cut corners, or compete without adequate investment, professional guidance and, of course, hard work.
Thankfully as an independent you will have passion. This is your one weapon that no chain can consistently compete with. If you find a way to engage emotionally with your customers and understand their desires, you’ll always outperform systematic and faceless organization.
