REPORT ON CASE STUDY ON RESTAURANTS

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
With the increase in urban population and people being more involved in economic activities that
requires them to step out of their house, more people are unable to prepare the food. This has
caused upraise in the food business and increase in the number of restaurants. More than necessity,
the idea of modern restaurant has reached its core of rural commune. Restaurant has evolved itself
as economy, recreation, and even the major factor of tourism in the place.

1.2 OBJECTIVE AND METHODOLOGY


This report represents a collaborative effort by the students of Chitwan Engineering College to
produce a comprehensive guidebook for designing learning spaces and is intended to serve as a guide
when considering the construction of restaurants and cafes.

This review began by searching databases using relevant search terms. This produced a large number
of articles and PDF books, which were briefly considered for relevance and reduced to a smaller
number that could be read in full. Moreover, for studying the design and structures of restaurants, we
visited few restaurants nearby and gathered the required information. Our current database of
relevant material now contains more than 15 references.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION
2.1.1 WHAT IS RESTAURANT?
A restaurant is a business that prepares and serves food and drinks to customers. Meals are
generally served and eaten on the premises, but many restaurants also offer takeout and food
delivery services. Restaurants vary greatly in appearances and offerings, including a wide
variety of cuisines and service models ranging from inexpensive fast food restaurants and
cafeterias, to mid-priced family restaurants, to high-priced luxury establishment.

2.1.2 HISTORY
The word derives from the French verb "restaurer"(to restore) and, being the participle of the
verb it literally means "that which restores". The restaurant was defined in 1507 as a
"restorative beverages", and in correspondence in 1521 to mean "that which restores the
strength, a fortifying food or remedy. The first use of the word to refer to the public venue
where one can order food is believed to be in the 18th century. In 1765, a French chef by the
name of A. Boulanger established a business selling soups and other "restaurants"

REPORT ON CASE STUDY ON RESTAURANTS

(restoratives). Additionally, while not the first establishment where one could order food, or
even soups, it is thought to be the first to offer a menu of available choices. The "first real
restaurant" is considered to have been "LaGrande Taverne de Londres" in Paris, founded by
Antoine Beauvilliers in either 1782 or 1786. According to Brillat-Savarin, this was was "the first
to combine the four essentials of an elegant room, smart waiters, a choice cellar and superior
cooking. In 1802 the term was applied to an establishment where restorative foods, such as
bouillon, a meat broth, were served (établissement de restaurateur).

2.2 TYPES OF RESTAURANTS

1. Fine Dining
Most of the population might only visit high-end establishments
for special occasions, such as an anniversary, birthday, or wedding.
The majority of fine dining restaurants have High-end decor and a
formal atmosphere. Menus may feature exotic or interesting
dishes and ingredients. Some fine dining restaurants have
sommeliers to help you with food and wine pairings.

2. Casual Dining
The ambiance of casual dining restaurants varies greatly based on the brand and intended
customer base, Moderately-priced menus, Table service, Low-key atmosphere.

3. Contemporary Casual
Recently, contemporary casual restaurants have emerged. These types of eateries are modern
and trendy with a distinct brand. Many follow eco-friendly protocols and serve unique, healthy
food options featuring fusion cuisine.

4. Family Style
Some family style restaurants only feature shareable platters. Other restaurants offer a family
style option along with the option for individual dishes.

5. Fast Casual
There is a rising number of fast casual restaurants that cater to
people looking for a quick bite that's healthier than fast food but
more affordable than sit-down, casual restaurants.

REPORT ON CASE STUDY ON RESTAURANTS

6. Fast Food
You're likely familiar with the most popular fast food restaurants, like McDonald's and Taco
Bell. These kind of restaurants focuses primarily on quick service.

7. Cafe
Whether you need a quick cup of coffee on your way to work or are catching up with an old
friend, cafes provide a versatile space for different purposes. Most cafes usually serve coffee,
tea, pastries, and small items for breakfast and lunch.

8. Buffet
Buffets allow guests to customize their dining experience by providing an array of options to
choose from. Some are referred to as "All You Can Eat" restaurants, and most feature a theme,
such as buffets that specialize in Chinese or Indian food.

9. Food Trucks and Concession Stands


Food trucks and concession stands can take various forms. This
might be your city street falafel food truck, your baseball game
hot dog stand, or your organic burger food truck. Food stands
and food trucks are convenient options, as owners purchase a
small unit (food truck or stand) instead of a large brick-and-
mortar space.

10. Pop-Up Restaurant


Pop-up restaurants, bars, and stands are a new trend that allows owners, chefs, and guests to
try new food and restaurant concepts and creations. Pop-up restaurants can be anything from a
beer garden only open for the summer to a sit-down restaurant in an unconventional location
that's briefly open for a month or two.

11. Ghost Restaurant


Ghost restaurants are also known as virtual restaurants or delivery-only restaurants. Ghost
restaurants minimize overhead costs, so owners and chefs can focus on efficiency and
developing quality culinary creations. They have more flexibility to alter their menus, as they
don't need to change physical copies and only need to update their online websites.

2.3 GEOGRAPHICAL CONSIDERATIONS


1. Visibility: Choosing a space somewhere that’s visible. To determine visibility, looking at foot
and car traffic patterns. If people are walking by, who’s walking by? Is it nannies with strollers?
If the restaurant is not kid friendly, they aren’t going to go inside. Are doctors and nurses
passing by from a nearby hospital to grab a quick bite on their lunch breaks? What about local
hipsters who want a trendy long lunch? Determining if nearby pedestrians are the target
customers. If not, the space probably won’t work.

2. Parking: Whether opening fine dining or a popular chain, the land rent or bought should be
big enough to accommodate parking.

3. Space Size: The space you rent or buy needs to fit your size requirements. For every
restaurant seat, you need about five square feet of kitchen space, so if you have eighty seats in
your restaurant, your kitchen needs to have 400 square feet of space minimum. Larger spaces
reduce workplace accidents by minimizing slips, trips, and falls, the most common workplace
accident.

4. Crime Rates:Crime rates are unglamorous considerations, but if the restaurant in a crime-
laden area, the target customers may not visit. High crime rates can make potential customers
uncomfortable, and if they feel they’ll be mugged walking to their cars, it will only drive away
business.

5. Accessibility: Some restaurants find success in just-off-the-highway locations, or located near


exits for those interstate travellers who need a bite to eat but don’t want the usual fast-food
restaurant.

6. Surrounding Businesses and Competitor Analysis: Research surrounding businesses.


Researching what types of restaurants do well in the area. Areas can only support so many of
the same type of restaurant. What will distinguish any new restaurant is excellent service and
consistently wonderful food.

2.4.2 ENTRANCE
The entrance area to a restaurant should be just as important as the inside, because this is what
forms a patron’s first impression, especially when it comes to gaining new customers. Using
signs, music, lighting, and décor make for an attractive restaurant entrance. Choice of such
components really depends on the restaurant’s theme. According to vastu, entrance should be
in north or east direction. The main entrance should look attractive and bright, which will bring
positive energy inside the restaurant.

13
REPORT ON CASE STUDY ON RESTAURANTS

2.4.3 WALLS AND CEILING

Walls

Walls of restaurant should be tinted with light shades and avoid dark and complicated colors.
Shape of the plot in commercial place plays a significant role in making business healthy and
wealthy, so Vastu suggests having regular shape plot for restaurant. Standard wall construction
for restaurant kitchens should be water-resistant gypsum board (commonly called “green
board” for the color) over a metal stud wall. Albert Penna, of DNA Architects, says that,
“Properly installed tile or FRP helps protect walls from the elements (grease, water, pests)
throughout the operation of a commercial kitchen.” In addition, says Penna, “All walls need to
meet health department requirements—a hard, light-colored, easily cleanable surface,” which
both tile and FRP provide.

Ceiling

The height of the ceiling is often dictated by the lighting fixture types, the atmosphere of the
restaurant’s interior spaces, and the available building height and building look desired. 8′–0″ is
typically the minimum for any non-suspended fixtures. While you can go a little shorter, it
makes even your bathroom spaces feel small. 10′-0″ is the recommended minimum if you are
using any pendant lights above tables. Materials should be light-colored and easily cleanable,
and “need to provide light to the workspace and sanitary protection from above.

2.4.4 DOOR
Single door as well as double door are used in restaurant. The standard door size for toilet is
minimum 600. The minimum width is 32inches and maximum width is 45 inches. The kitchen
door should operate faster and be extremely smooth in their operation with no hindrance.
double action door gives space for the movement of staff and food to and fro.

2.6 LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL


One of the most important features of restaurant design is lighting. Lighting in a restaurant can
add to the ambiance of our dining room or ruin the experience completely for the customer.

Natural Lighting

To best use natural light, we need to understand the natural light patterns that our restaurant
experiences throughout the day due to the movement of the sun. Patrons who are seated
facing towards the east or west will be affected the most by direct sunlight, installing curtains
or blinds on windows helps to keep the sun out of their eyes.

Artificial lighting

Electric light fixtures are the easiest types of lighting to control and they include overhead
fluorescent lights, recessed lighting, tabletop lighting, candles, and any other lighting that you
can control and adapt for a restaurant.

Other subdivisions of lighting contain:

• Ambient Lighting is the main source of light in a room, and it can be natural light or
provided with electric overhead fixtures. It allows people to see and move around easily and
comfortably.

• Task Lighting allows customers and staff members to perform functions that may need a
more concentrated light source, like reading a menu or cooking. It can take the form of
overhead lamps, bright fluorescent lights in your kitchen, or a small table lamp on your hostess
stand.

• Accent Lighting adds drama to your space. It is used to construct focal points around
your front-of-house area. This can be done by using light to highlight pieces of artwork or
adding decorative island lights over your bar top.

Electrical

The switch box should be installed so either its top or bottom at 48 inch mark or it should be
centered on the mark. The bottom of the switch box should be placed at 48 inches from the floor
means that the top of the box will fall at 52 inches above the floor.

24

2.6 HYGIENE AND SANITATION


(i) For safe handling of the customers, the employees should be provided with clean clothing,
proper gloves, hairnets and other safety, and hygienic tools that are necessary for overall
hygiene maintenance.

(ii) It can avoid bugs, mice, and other pests that might arise in a dirty environment.

(iii) Cleaning everyday will also distinguish the restaurant from competition by providing the
business with a better reputation.

(iv) For better hygiene and sanitation, proper amount of water should be available mainly near
kitchen and bathroom.

2.7 DRAINAGE AND SEPTIC TANK


Drainage systems, if properly installed, should keep water away from your roof and your
foundation. Drainage needs to be planned as part of the building process. It needs to be
installed in the correct location and fit for purpose. It minimizes soil erosion and foundation
damage.

Septic system has the responsibility of processing all waste from your diners .Septic tanks are
used in conjunction with flushing toilets and tend to be useful especially where there is a lot of
other wastewater produced (for example, water from laundry) or a high ground water table.
They are also sometimes required before connection to a mains sewer, to reduce the risk of
blockage. The design logic of a septic tank is to retain wastes within a watertight holding tank
for a period of time –wastewater remains in this tank between one and three days, during
which time partial treatment of the wastes occurs. Wastewater that then exits the tank has a
lower (but still very significant) pathogen load, and therefore subsequently needs to be
infiltrated into the ground through an infiltration trench or soak pit (or, where available,
wastewater can be discharged into a sewerage system).Solids build up within the tank as a
sludge that must be periodically emptied (and safely treated or disposed of offsite). Depending
on the specific circumstances, this period can be anything from six months to ten years or 34
more. To function properly, a septic tank must be well designed. Examples of potential
problems are; i. If the wastewater entering the tank has been underestimated or the tank has
been undersized, the retention time will reduce, meaning treatment effectiveness will reduce.
ii. In high groundwater areas, if the tank is lighter than the groundwater it displaces, it might
float. iii. If an infiltration trench or soak away pit is not included in the design, effluent from the
septic tank will discharge directly to the ground or a surface water channel, creating a public

25
REPORT ON CASE STUDY ON RESTAURANTS

health risk. This might also happen with a badly designed infiltration trench that may not be
able to soak away all the wastewater.

2.8 HVAC AND FIRE SAFETY


HVAC:

It simply refers to the flow of air. There must be sufficient amount of air exchange between
indoors and out. Too much or too little will cause drafts and slamming doors, terrible air
quality, reduced energy efficiency and book venting of combustion gases.

Air Quality: Cooking will release gases, grease and smoke, all of which are not only unpleasant
but can be dangerous. When designing the kitchen we should take into account placement of
appliances, hoods, vents and exhaust fans and also try to coordinate this to increase HVAC
efficiency, thus improving air quality.

Fire Safety:

• Food preparation involves high temperatures or open flame, a risk of fire exists. Fire
extinguishers must hang in easily accessible locations.

• In case of a fire, customers and employees alike should have easy access to at least two
emergency exits that lead directly outside.

• Each emergency exit must have lighting above it to clearly mark the exit, and the door must
unlock from the inside.

• 750mm door width in a normal fire risk premises has a capacity of 100 people and a 1050mm
door can take 200.

• As a matter of interest, the minimum standard dimensions for a fire escape roof window (as
opposed to a door) are 660mm by 1180mm.

• Exit doors should not be less than the min width of stairs, corridor

• Accessible parking spaces must be
provided for each parking structure
associated with the building and

• The entrance to a car park needs to


be a clearly legible, without dominating
a building or the streetscape.

• Accessible spaces must be dispersed

2.9.2 LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS


A. PLANTS
Plant creates outdoor rooms, trees, shrubs and ground covers can be used to emphasize the
desirable architectural lines and masses .Plants can be used to soften and balance harsh and
awkward architectural angle, masses and materials.

B. PAVILION
A pavilion is also a temporary or permanent freestanding architectural open space that is
flexible and can be used in a variety of ways – from lounging, to dining, cooking or gathering
people. It gives shelter and coverage while you enjoy different outdoor activities. Aside from
being functional, it is also decorative as it adds an interesting visual element to outdoor living
spaces.

C.PAVING
 The path defines the passage in the landscape created. it could be paved or unpaved.
paving materials are used to eliminate hazards from mud and dust and to form a
smooth surface for ease of circulation.
 Various design patterns in the pathways help beautify the surroundings and look
pleasing to the eye.
 The paving material could be natural or man-made. Man-made paving materials are
available in the wide variety of textures and colors. some of the materials used are
explained in the following.

D. WATER BODIES
 Water, which is a natural element, can be a prominent feature in the landscape.
 It may be used in the form of fountains or pools for its reflective qualities, differences
in sound or cooling effect.
 Programming the flow of water in fountains is done by an electronic timing system
which may also control the night light sequence.
 The water flow and lighting must be coordinated to achieve maximum effect.
 Sculptural elements of granite or concrete can be integrated in a water cascade or
fountain effect.

2.9.3 GUARD HOUSE


A guard house (also known as a watch house, guard building, guard booth, security booth,
security building or sentry building) is a building used to house personnel and security
equipment. Guard houses are generally placed at the entrance as checkpoints for securing,
monitoring and maintaining access control into the secured facility.

2.10 SUSTAINABILITY
Running a restaurant which is actively committed to the promotion of sustainable solutions to
areas impacted by the business, such as the environment, food sourcing, and society is a
necessity in modern time. By incorporating more-sustainable practices, a business can make
greater impacts on environmental conservation, reduce health concerns by customers, and be a
community role model for change.

To assess the sustainability of restaurants, following points should be taken into considerations:

 Food Waste: Keeping food waste out of the landfill by donating it to people in need or
repurposing it as a valuable addition to healthy soil.
 Food Sustainability: Sourcing food that is sustainably grown, processed, and transported
to reduce environmental degradation and mitigate global warming.
28
REPORT ON CASE STUDY ON RESTAURANTS

 Product Sustainability: Ensuring that all materials, including cutlery, plates, bowls,
napkins, cups, and other supplies, minimize impact on the environment and global
warming. If you’re really intent on implementing eco-friendly restaurant design,
choosing furniture that’s made from wood that grows quickly, like bamboo, can limit
negative environmental effects.
 Energy Usage: Conserving energy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using efficient
equipment and reducing energy waste which reduce energy costs at the same time. In
the long-run, converting to renewable energy is the most sustainable option. Choosing
suitable windows also make quite a difference in energy usage. Like big, clear, clean
windows let in a lot of natural light, reducing the need for lamps and overhead fixtures.
Imagine how much energy a restaurant could save if they didn’t need to turn on the
lights during daylight hours.

Water Usage: Reducing water use conserves limited water resources, and simultaneously
reducing costs.

2.11 NEPALESE TREND IN RESTAURANTS


Back in the early days, restaurant was a place for gathering and limited to having meals. As the
tourism industry blossomed and modernization took new phase, a lot of changes are visible in
present time compared to the past. They are not only adding the modern feature but also
incorporating the traditional typical features of the Nepalese culture, hence creating new fusion
of style for restaurants. For example, Chitwan is famous for Tharu culture, it has many resorts,
restaurants which are dedicated to and inspired from Tharu culture and cuisine, which provides
both delicacies and brief review about their culture. Apart from that there are many modern
themed spots like otaku café, Korean, Chinese, French restaurants paving its way to national
hospitality industry. The additional architectural features are giving new aesthetic vision to the
building as well as breaking the chain of using regular shapes, walls, roofs. There is wide
variance of design, materials used nowadays.

Winter low: January low is 3 to 13 °C (37 to 55 °F)
Rain: Around 750 mm (30 in) of precipitation per year

C) Concept
Located on the ground floor of an early 19th-century building in the Santos parish, in
Lisbon, the building presents a colorful, luminous and bold appearance from outside to
attract visitors' attention. The project based on the idea of creating a more interesting
ambiance inside, the architects' intention was to create a space inspired by the artistic
period of the 1920s and specifically in an Art Deco style – as personified in the figure of
the actress Louise Brooks, who gives the restaurant its name.
The initial idea of the project was to insert the technical program in the secondary areas
of the space, without natural light and close to the existing patios, in order to enable the
installation of the technical equipment for air conditioning and ventilation."

D) Entrance
Entrance faces directly onto the restaurant’s
main façade.

F) Zoning

G) Exterior and interior space


It is located on the ground floor of an early
19th-century building in the Santos parish, in
Lisbon.

The functional program consists of a bar


area, with seating and service counters, a
customer area, with seating and a dance
area, customer sanitary facilities, and
technical areas with restricted access,
such as the kitchen, pantry, and storage.

34
REPORT ON CASE STUDY ON RESTAURANTS

As regards the positioning of the bar, was considered a solution facing the entrance, serving
both as a waiting and customer service area.

The layout is divided into two volumes that


branches out. One of the volumes is
dedicated to the restaurant across a mini
bar, other volume is used as a lounge -
vestibule and service counters are placed
across the lounge. To create a diversity
inside, given the geometry of the lot itself,
two rooms are used for the restaurant and
the lounge area.

The first one, adjacent to the main façade, is


characterized by the strong entry of natural
light and clear visibility to the public
thoroughfare since the previously opaque
shutters have been replaced by shop-window
type openings. The design team designed a
fixed L-shaped sofa along the bordering walls to
combine with individual tables that can be
freely grouped, while next to the exterior
openings, two-person tables can be arranged
for more intimate use.

On the other hand, in the second room, there


is an interior having limited natural lighting,
to be used for a more relaxed environment
through the positioning of a single ample sofa
that. Thanks to this, the space creates a fluid
organic design, which can streamline the use
of the space. With a central focus on a DJ

35
REPORT ON CASE STUDY ON RESTAURANTS

table and punctuated by low tables and separate poufs, this room can be used freely,
somewhere between a bar and a dance floor.

There is a small courtyard connected via lounge behind the DJs’ spot.

The customer toilets were placed in the annexed volume, adjacent to the western façade of the
building, and these can be accessed via a flight of internal stairs.

A changing room is placed right across the bar, its entrance is linked to the passage joining
bar and lounge.

H) Lightning
For the natural daylight,
previously made opaque shutters
were converted into windows on
main façade of the building.
There is also meticulous artificial
lighting which, through a control
system, provides for changes
between various scenarios and,
consequently, a total alteration of
the space throughout the day and
night, resulting in an exuberant,
enveloping, and specific
atmosphere for each use. It is
immensely dressed in neon lights
to give 1920’s retro vibe.
