How to Design your Restaurant

So you finally did it! You managed to get that small business loan to open your first restaurant. This day has been a long time coming, and there are still plenty of long days ahead of you. First things first, hiring a great staff to help you get this place going - and after that, it's time to start decorating and providing the perfect dining experience for your guests. This sometimes can be easier said than done because you want to make an everlasting first impression on your guests so they keep coming back.

What you need to do first is determine what style of restaurant you will open, which is probably already pre-determined in your mind because you know the kind of food you are going to be cooking. Once you have a food style picked out, the decor will have to match that style of cooking to give customers a full dining experience! You also want the back of the house to be hooked up with the best technology possible, so you can get your food out as quickly as possible. Check out some of  Culinary Depot's  appliances that help make a perfect back of the house for any restaurant!

Italian Style: So you decide to go with that good old classic Italian style cooking. Yum! It is important when you have a pizza place or even a more upscale Italian restaurant to keep the vibe homey and comfortable. An addition of booths along the walls and a few tables in the center will keep the space cozy while providing enough room for your waiters to move around. On the tables, try to keep it simple with salt and pepper shakers, parmesan cheese shakers, and silverware. Italian restaurants are meant to be a place for families to gather and talk and feel just like they are at home, and most people who go to Italian restaurants do not want excessive items taking up too space on their tables.

Asian Style: If you go with an Asian Style kitchen you want to keep the atmosphere a little darker than other restaurants. You want to keep the table and chair sets simple because then you can decorate with some pretty awesome decorations. Check out  Culinary Depot  for some fantastic decoration ideas. Do not be afraid to go over the top in an Asian Style restaurant because the more ornaments you utilize, the better the experience for the diner!

Cafe/Coffee Style: Now these kinds of restaurants are pretty easy to decorate, you want to make sure you keep it hip and stylish. Add smaller tables in places like this for people who just come for a cup of coffee and some wifi. Make sure your wifi connection is excellent by the way! Try and add some comfy chairs (maybe around a fireplace) so people feel comfortable staying for a couple of hours. Often places going for this style do not have waitress or waiters. Instead, customers just order at the counter and the food is brought over to the them. Consequently, consider adding some  table top number holders  so food can be easily delivered to customers after they order!

Spanish Style: A Spanish-style eatery can be set up in many different ways based on if you are going for quick service, or more upscale. A lot of bright colors should layer the walls in a place like this to help give it that Spanish feel. Add some wine glasses to the tables so people get excited to start their meal off with a drink as well! Also, try and add table clothes to all the tables. Spanish food can sure get messy, but it is so delicious!

Now, you can design your restaurant anyway you want, because guess what? It's yours! Once you get the diner's experience up to par, you can just focus on your delicious cooking, because that is what is going to get those diners coming back! But these quick style tips help you out and give your patrons some of their best and most memorable dining experiences.
