Planning a Room That Works When Full
Rooms are usually planned empty and used full. Almost every problem in hospitality comes out of that gap: the interior looks good at handover and is in the way on the first busy Friday night.
Distances That Have Proven Themselves
At least 75 centimetres between table edge and wall so a guest can stand up without moving the neighbouring table. Main circulation routes 120 centimetres so staff and guests can pass each other. Save here and you gain two seats and lose service speed.
Chairs Decide Revenue
A chair that is hard to move costs seconds at every change of guests. Watch the weight, the glides and the question of whether the chairs stack or at least push together tightly. Selection: chairs and dining tables.
Acoustics Are Almost Always Forgotten
Baroque rooms with marble, glass and mirrors sound hard. Textile surfaces help: upholstered chairs, curtains, benches. A room in which people can hold a conversation keeps guests at the table longer than any menu.
Few Strong Pieces Instead of Many Small Ones
One large mirror works better than six small ones and only has to be cleaned once. The same goes for lighting and decoration. See decorations.
Plan a Reserve
Five to ten percent reserve on chairs and upholstery. The first breakage arrives faster than the second delivery, and a single mismatched chair is immediately visible in a designed room.
