Choosing the proper number of tables and making sure the seating is comfortable is important but it’s just one part of making your dining area the type of environment that brings customers back. Below are a few more suggestions that can help make your establishment stand out from the rest.

Camouflage Problem Areas with a Good Restaurant Design

Every restaurant has problem areas in the dining room. These are those places where you need to put tables but where most customers don’t want to sit such as areas near the restrooms, the front entrance and the entrance to the kitchen. There is no way to avoid this problem but there are ways to make it better for your customers. You can use interior design to camouflage the entrances to these areas of your restaurant.

Consider placing some type of divider between the table and the problem area. For example, you can place beautiful plants at tables near the restrooms and front doors to block the view of these entrances. Another option would be to place a decorative partition in front of the entrance to the kitchen.

This way, the wait staff can walk behind the partition to go in and out of the kitchen and all the guests will see is the beautiful design on the partition, which will make sitting at these tables more pleasant. This option will also work for bathrooms.

Install Proper Heat, Air and Ventilation Systems

Another important aspect of restaurant design is the heat, air and ventilation system. When customers visit your restaurant, they want to be comfortable. They don’t want to shake and shiver or be too hot to enjoy their meal.

Our interior designers have more than 26 years of experience designing restaurants and we have the expertise to ensure your design includes an adequate heating and cooling system along with proper ventilation for your kitchen. After all, you don’t want all the different smells of the kitchen interfering with the delicious aroma of the foods your guests order.

Installing Speakers for Music

Music is a very important feature for many restaurant interior designs. It’s used to set the proper tone for the establishment. However, the location of the speakers will make a big difference in how effective this tactic is.

When creating the dining room layout, the interior designer must pay close attention to the position of the speakers to ensure the sound radiates throughout the room evenly. You don’t want the music to be so loud in some areas that it makes your customers uncomfortable while others can barely hear it.

Implementing these tips and suggestions into your interior design can help you create a warm and welcoming environment that customers love. This is what keeps them coming back, securing the success of your business.
