Congratulations, you’ve decided to invest in a restaurant. Perhaps, you’ve already decided on the location, perhaps you’ve already gotten the space, perhaps you’ve already had an idea of how your restaurant will look like, well, it would be a good idea to research a little and look at the settings of restaurants with that are similar to what you will be investing in.
Now, what do we mean by type of restaurant? The restaurant type is simply the style of restaurant that you are looking to establish. Whether it is a bistro style café, a fine dinning restaurant, family style buffet restaurant, bar and grill, etc., knowing the similarities and what customers expect when they patronize such a restaurant will help with your decision in planning and choosing of the furniture and furnishings.
For example, customers would expect to be seated quite closely to each other, outdoor seating, fresh flowers, having the daily specials written on a blackboard, decorated artistically, at a bistro styled café. It is almost an unspoken rule of all bistro style cafés.
Another example, customers would expect to be seated in little private areas with enough space between tables for private conversations, dark colors, fanciful linen, sophisticated looking chairs, artfully printed menus, at a fine dinning restaurant. As mentioned before, it is almost an unspoken rule of all fine dinning restaurants.
Another example? All right. Customers would expect to be seated in larger tables, perhaps made of strong sturdy wood that rustic looking, warm colored lights, an open concept kitchen where you can smell the meats being cooked, at a family style buffet restaurant that specializes in meats. You are right; it is almost an unspoken rule.
Knowing the type of restaurant that you are interested in, is half the battle won. The next logical step would be to find the furniture and fittings.
