INTRODUCTION
In a restaurant, in primary space planning, the general rule of thumb for
determining the area allotted is that the dining area should comprise most of
the total area. The kitchen, storage and preparation area should take up the
remaining space.
Dining Room: 60% of Total Area
Kitchen, Cooking, Storage, Preparation, etc: 40% of Total Area
Designing a seating plan will depend on the type of restaurant. It’s important to
remember that banquet seating may use as little as 10 square feet per person.
However, fine dining may require 20 square feet per person. It is common for
most restaurants or coffee shops that have a general menu to average about 15
square feet per person. This is taking into account space needed for traffic aisles,
wait stations, cashier, etc.
o It has a special design, unique
decoration, high-quality
furniture.
FINE DINING
o Very often, there are certain
rules for dining which
customers expected to follow.
o Lighting should also be subtle,
leaning toward dim (romantic).
o Music playing subtly in the
background should reflect the
theme of the restaurant, such as
classical for a traditional fine
dining restaurant or jazz tunes
for something modern.
o Décor of such restaurants
features higher-quality
materials .
• Decor is often unique and based
on the type of food served. CASUAL DINING
• As a general rule, casual dining
restaurants fall between fine RESTAURANTS
dining and fast casual on the
“fancy” spectrum.
• These types of restaurants range
from local independent spots to
larger franchises.
• Seating is generally oversized
and comfortable.
• There’s generally a theme,
specific decor, and ambiance
that make the dining experience
stand out.
• Casual dining restaurants often
have a full bar with separate
bar staff, a full beer menu and a
limited wine menu.
 These types of restaurants often have
a more relaxed atmosphere than FAMILY STYLE
the fine dining and casual dining
models and cater to families with RESTAURANTS
children or groups of friends.
 These restaurants are all about
comfort and ease.
 Among all the types of restaurant
categories, family style restaurants
are often the go-to choice for
birthday parties, graduation dinners,
and other special occasions.
 This type of restaurant will follow
many traditions around the world.
 Family-style dining is, of course,
family-oriented, and they make for
a great day or evening out with the
family.
 CAFÉ OR BISTRO
• The bistro concept got its start in France as a place to
serve hearty meals at a moderate price in a not-so-
formal setting.
• When restaurateurs began opening bistros in the
United States, the format evolved to include more
refined decor, fewer tables, finer foods, and higher
prices.
• Cafes are characterized by, an unhurried
atmosphere, and the loyalty of their repeat
customers. Offerings include coffee, tea, pastries,
small items for breakfast or lunch, and a small
sampling of desserts.
• Diners order food at the counter, pay on the spot,
and serve themselves.
• Cafés serve many needs. They can be a social
meeting place, a mobile office, a leisure spot, or
somewhere convenient to grab a matcha latté or a
quick bite.
• In some areas, cafes offer outdoor seating. The word
comes from the French café.
 PUBS AND BARS
 The term Pub & Bar brings to mind the images of a
comfortable sitting area, pleasant ambiance, and lively
music.
 Traditionally the windows of the pub and bar were of frosted
glass to provide privacy, but they have moved to clear glass and
bright ambiance.
 Bars and pubs are typically more focused on serving a wide
variety of alcohol, and one can expect a more lively atmosphere
in these places.
 They are often associated with watching sports, playing
games, and playing live music and possibly even a dance
floor.
 The main difference between bars and pubs is that pubs will
typically offer table service, while bars do not.
 However, many bars will have a relaxed dining area during the
daytime, whereas pubs generally continue to serve food in the
evening.
 FAST FOOD
 Fast food is the most widely recognized
type of restaurant thanks to franchise
chains like Taco Bell, Burger King, and
KFC.
 Fast food restaurants attract diners because
of their price, convenience, and speed.
 Food is then delivered over the counter —
or through a drive-thru window — and
customers seat themselves.
 Pizza places like Domino’s and Little
Caesars fall into this category, too..
 Fast food restaurants emphasize speed of
service. Operations range from small-scale
street vendors with food carts to
multibillion-dollar corporations like
McDonald's and Burger King.
 Contemporary casual restaurants — a
recent offshoot of the fine dining concept
— cater mostly to young professionals in
CONTEMPORARY
urban and metropolitan areas.
 As a concept, these eateries are modern
CASUAL
and trendy and often offer a distinct brand
that diners find appealing.
 Such concepts include but are not limited
to:
o Eco-friendly
o Farm-to-table
o Large wine selection
o Locally sourced ingredients
o Fusion cuisine
o Extensive bar
 The food, and often the restaurant itself,
relies heavily on visual appeal (though
taste is also important) and caters mostly to
the Instagram generation.

  Each seater requires a minimum of 24" of space in terms of the
width. This includes the spacing between the chairs to allow
customers to get in and out and to sit comfortably.
30”  For full course meals a 30" x 30" table will comfortably serve
only 2 seated people. However, a cafe or an ice-cream restaurant
could seat 4 people on the same table size.
 Square or rectangle table tops make it easier to join tables
24” together when large parties come in thus making them more
popular among restaurateurs.
 At cafes, however, round tables are preferred due to the ability to
seat more people at one table where restaurant chairs can be
'squeezed' around them.
Service  14 sq. ft per person for spacious dining (allows for a table, chair,
Aisle and aisle)
 12 sq. ft per person for cafeteria or restaurant-style seating
 10 sq. ft per person for banquet, institutional, or close seating
 Allow 18 inches for the person seated from the edge of the table to
back of the chair
 Diagonal seating saves floor space.
STANDARDS FOR BAR AREA
 The bar base (“bar die”) is nominally 4″ or 6″
deep.
 Standard depth of 24” for bar equipment.
 Stainless under bar equipment is commonly
available from 12″ – 48″ wide, in 6″
increments.
 The bartender’s aisle should be 31” – 37”.
 Bar tops range from 24″ to 30″ in depth.
 Standard back bar depth should be 24” – 29”.
 Under bar stainless bar equipment is normally
30” high. This is the working surface height
for the bartender.
 The most critical bar design dimension is the
inside bar top overhang (11″). This will
ensure easy bartender access to the ice bins. It
will also reduce bartender back strain.
  The standard bar counter
Cocktail tables/ height is 42 inches.
 The standard bar counter width
seating for two is between 18 and 24 inches.
 The standard bar stool height is
between 28 and 30 inches.
 The standard height of a
commercial bar is typically 42
inches. This height is
considered the ideal height for
customers to comfortably rest
their elbows while standing at
the bar.
 The bar area dimensions will
vary based on the type of bar.
For example, a sports bar may
require more space than a
cocktail bar.
