2 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 History
The term restaurant (from the French
word trestaurer, to restore) first appeared
in the 16th century, meaning “a food which
restores”, and referred specifically to a
rich, highly flavored soup. The modern
sense of the word was born around 1765
when a Parisian soup-seller named
Boulanger opened his
establishment. Whilst inns and taverns
were known from antiquity, these were
establishments aimed at travelers, and in general locals would rarely eat there. The modern
formal style of dining, where customers are given a plate with the food already arranged on it,
is known as service à la russe, as it is said to have been introduced to France by the Russian
Prince Kurakin in the 1810s, from where it spread rapidly to England and beyond.
2.2 Foreword
Eating is one of life’s pleasure and pride –
so is cooking and serving good food to others.
A restaurant is a commercial outfit which
specializes in the preparation of quality food
and to serve them to satisfy the customer’s
demands. Their motto is “Customers are our
assets and satisfied customers are our source
of wealth”. Restaurants do have state of the
art kitchens in their premises, where food
items are prepared, following a fixed menu to
serve the customers. Most restaurants are
also equipped with infrastructure facilities,
table settings, and dining halls of various sizes to cater to needs of small gatherings to
grandiose banquets to suit customer demands and above all, trained personnel to provide a
satisfactory service.
2.3 Types of Restaurants
Restaurants are classified or distinguished in many different ways. The primary factors
are usually the food itself (e.g. vegetarian, seafood, steak); the cuisine (e.g. Italian, Chinese,
Japanese, Indian, French, Mexican, Thai) or the style of offering (e.g. tapas bar, a sushi train,
a tastet restaurant, a buffet restaurant or a yum cha restaurant).

Figure 1: PUBS
This restaurant format is somewhat similar to the Sweets Shop format. Instead of
sweets, it offers cakes, pastries, snacks and various types of bread. The menu has a wide
variety and also gives an option of made to order to the consumer. It provides basic service
like delivery, self-service and may have a sitting area.
2.4 Program
Floor and restaurant layout plans vary by the type of venue and restaurant
furniture you use. It’s important to note that banquet seating may use as little as 10 sq. ft. per
person whereas fine dining requires at least 20 sq. ft. per person. It is common among most
restaurants and coffee shops to average around 15 sq. ft. per person. Seating capacity also
takes the space needed for wait stations and traffic aisles into account. The general seating
capacity regulations you should apply to your restaurant floor plan stipulates:
VENUE REQUIRED SQ. FT. PER PERSON
Fine Dining 18-20
Full Service Restaurant 12-15
Counter Service 18-20
Fast Food Minimum 11-14
Table Service/Hotel/Club 15-18
Banquet/Event Hall 10-11
2.4.2 Kitchen
Before starting to design a restaurant's kitchen, you need to think about work
flow and the essential pieces in your kitchen because different restaurant concepts
will have different needs.
For example, a contemporary bistro will need different equipment and designs than a
fast food establishment.
2.4.2.1 Kitchen Triangle Rule
The kitchen work triangle is
based on the three main work
areas: the sink, the refrigerator,
and the stove. According to the
kitchen triangle rule, each side of
the triangle should measure no
less than four feet and no more
than nine feet and, ideally, the
perimeter of the triangle should be
no less than 13 feet and no more
than 26 feet.
b. Simplicity
Kitchens are prone to clutter, and clutter leads to confusion and poor sanitation that
negatively affect a foodservice operation. To maximize space and effectiveness, consider
designing a kitchen with simplicity in mind.
c. Flow of materials and personnel
A kitchen designed around the flow of materials and personnel will have a logical
layout in which no employees or materials backtrack through the space. In other words, the
kitchen will operate in some type of circular pattern.The refrigerated and dry storage areas
should be near the receiving
area, for example, but the waste
disposal and warewashing areas
should be separate from the food
preparation and meal cooking
areas.
d. Ease of sanitation
Besides cooking,
restaurant employees spend the
most time cleaning the kitchen,
so having a kitchen that's
optimized for sanitation is a must.
A great way to make your kitchen
easier to clean is to install
casters on your work tables and
equipment, so you can move
them when cleaning the floors
and walls.
e. Ease of supervision
The executive chef has a lot to handle when it comes to managing the kitchen. He or
she finishes dishes, designs menus, orders supplies, monitors food quality, and ensures that
equipment is working properly.
f. Space efficiency
Most restaurants have minimal room for their equipment, so you'll need to figure out
how to get all of the necessary equipment in your limited kitchen space.For standard-sized
kitchens that are short on space, though, consider which pieces of equipment are essential.
For example, if you're only going to be frying foods a few times a day, a light-duty countertop
fryer is better than a large floor model. An optimized restaurant kitchen design can help
make your employees' jobs easier, help make your kitchen flow more efficient, and even
prevent accidents
b. Deliveries to be managed
The three main storage areas should be easily accessible to the receiving area
without interrupting kitchen operations.
2.4.3 Restrooms
It is undisputed that the
restaurant owners need to pay ample
attention to the food and services
offered by them, but at the same time,
the cleanliness of the restaurant,
especially the restrooms, forms an
integral part of the customer’s dining
experience. The toilets should ideally
be divided into male and female
sections. Give special attention to this
area as it is usually ignored in the
restaurant planning and design
stage. Restrooms leave a lasting impression on the mind of the customer. They should have
sufficient lighting and be easy to clean and maintain.
2.4.3.1 Toilets required
A restaurant is legally obliged to have at least one toilet pan per 100 male users and
one toilet pan for 25 female users. There should also be a urinal and washbasin for every
50 male users and 1 washbasin per 50 female users.
2.4.3.2 Considerations
A lobby is required where a toilet would, without a lobby, enter a room where open
food is handled unless other factors in this section provide an acceptable reason not to
enforce. These factors might be infrequent use of a toilet intended for disabled persons only,
or a considerable distance between the toilet and the open food handling area.
2.4.3.3 Toilets entering large spaces where food is handled some distance away
A lobby is required where a toilet would, without a lobby, enter a room where open or
wrapped food is handled unless there is an acceptable reason not to enforce such as the
distance between the toilet and the food handling area.On the basis of distance alone,
where a toilet with no lobby is located 20 metres from an area where open food is handled
and there is no food in the intervening area, then it could be reasonable not to enforce.
2.4.3.4 Toilets with special ventilation measures within the room containing the WC
or urinal
Ventilation within a room containing a WC or urinal is normally expected to achieve
3-6 air changes per hour. Ventilation rates in excess of this, to deliberately create negative
pressure taking air away from a food room, may be a factor to take into consideration when
deciding if a lobby is necessary.
2.4.3.5 Other requirements
The restrooms should be easy to access for the customers without
unnecessary wandering.
It is advisable that the restrooms shall also have wheelchair access for
catering to the specific needs of physically challenged customers.
It is necessary that the restaurant restrooms should be appropriately
equipped with sanitation facilities, especially trash disposal, and have proper
designated space on the bathroom floor plan.
One thing to remember when planning your layout and purchasing the furniture is to
match the tables and seating heights:
2.4.9.2 Dishwashers
If you are using dishwashers, it must be operated and serviced according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
2.4.9.3 Sinks
Food business site must have adequate facilities and appliances for cleaning and
sanitising the site, facilities, fixtures and appliances.
2.4.9.4 Eliminate risk of cross contamination
Consider your food activity and determine how you will eliminate the risk of cross
contamination. A wash hand basin should not be used for cleaning facilities, fixtures and
appliances.You need to separate these activities, so that the food business can adequately
meet the goal of hand hygiene as per the risk based measure.
You need to provide:
a sink for washing and preparing food
a sink for plate, crockery and cutlery rinse and wash
a cleaner’s sink for emptying and filling buckets for cleaning of large
appliances, floors and toilets and for mop rinsing if applicable.
2.4.9.5 Portable water supply
Your food business site must have an adequate supply of potable water.Water must
be available at a volume, pressure and temperature that is suitable for the purpose.You can
use a non-potable water supply if you can demonstrate there will be no adverse effect on
food safety.The capacity of the water supply to the food business site must be adequate for
the operations of the food business.
2.4.9.6 Hot water supply
A hot water system must provide the necessary temperatures and capacity for
effective washing of equipment, fixtures and the sites.
2.4.9.7 Drainage
The sinks in restaurant
kitchens will inevitably have a
large amount of food waste,
soap, and other bits of waste
washed down them. Most
kitchens will have multiple
large scale industrial sinks to
hold dishes and large stove
parts that require regular
cleaning. These sinks will have
large drains that allow a lot of
debris to pass through and
clog further down in the drain.
If the sinks in a restaurant
kitchen are not properly looked
after, it can result in regular clogs and blockages that will obstruct water flow and impede the
general use of the sink.
When grease and oils are sent down kitchen sinks, they also contribute greatly to
clogs and can damage the overall condition of your restaurant’s plumbing system. Due to the
high volume of oils and grease used in restaurants, these types of blockages are much more
common and regular than you would expect from the average household.
Liquid drain cleaners should not be used because they are harmful both to the pipes
and to those who might be breathing in the fumes caused by the unknown mix of chemicals.
This is especially true for commercial settings where food is in the immediate vicinity. Hydro
jetting only uses water pressure, which means your restaurant will maintain a healthy
environment while being far more effective than liquid drain cleaners.
2.4.10 Doors
2.4.10.1 Panel type
a. Single Panel:
o Select this if a single door will be enough to fill your finished opening.
o Typically, single panel doors are used to fill openings anywhere between 18"
and 44" wide.
b. Double Panel:
o Your finished opening is
wide, so you need 2 doors
to fill the opening.
o Typically, double panel
doors are used to fill
openings anywhere
between 36" and 84" wide.
2.4.10.2 Hinge type
o Since double panel doors will
have a hinge on each door panel,
a hinge side is needed for single
panel doors only.
o To determine a hinge side,
imagine yourself walking through
the door. As you push the door,
which way does it swing open?
That is the side the hinge is on.
2.4.10.3 Impact plates
o Impact plates add an aesthetic
appeal and will improve the
durability of the door panel.
2.4.10.4 Laminate or color
options
o Integrate our products seamlessly into the design of your building, or choose a
contrasting color that will complement your decor.
2.4.11 Windows
In the restaurant business, looks can make or break. People go to restaurants not
only to eat, but to enjoy the ambiance and the design of the place. The restaurant needs to
have a warm, welcoming and open look to it for people to really enjoy their experience.
Installing windows can be a big help. They let the light in, as well as give customers a view
outside (which is a big plus if your restaurant has a beautiful view). Choosing the right
window is crucial, and picking the right people to install windows in Lacombe can make it
easier.
Here are a few types of windows and their pros and cons:
a. Casement
These are the common windows that you see which have hinges on either the right
or left hand side. They open outward with a slight push or a turn of a handle. They offer
excellent ventilation and keep the area inside cool and breezy during a hot day. Edges
should be sealed to avoid any air-leakage when you want to keep the temperature inside
warm. Since these windows swing out, they need to have a wide space outside so they
don’t block the way or make the area feel stuffy.
b. Awning
These windows are similar to casement windows, but they’re hinges are found at the
top. When they’re opened, the glass can be used to create shade or even cover people
under it from the rain. It’s also a good vent for hot air to escape. Often time, they can be
a bit small, but there are some which can be customized to make them bigger
d. Gliding
This window lets you move one of the panels to the side to open it. It’s very easy to
open and you don’t need to project it outwards so it doesn’t take up more space. Bigger
gliding windows can even be used as emergency exists since people can easily fit into
the open side of the window. You can also have screens added to keep pest out, but still
have good airflow. The only downside to these windows is that you can only open one
side at a time.
e. Vertical slider
These are like picture windows but with sliders that you can move up and down to
open the window. A spring is hidden in the frame which holds the window in position so it
doesn’t close due to gravity. You get a beautiful picture window that opens and lets the
air into the space. They are a bit high on maintenance though and may need more
support for proper insulation.
2.4.12 Lighting
different technologies can control other facets of your establishment, like music, televisions,
thermostats, fans, and your security system.
2.4.12.6 Lighting for different times of day
When deciding how to light your establishment, keep in mind what type of mood you
want your lighting to create throughout the day. What are your restaurant’s hours of
operation? If you run a diner or pancake house and generate most of your sales during the
morning rush, you won’t be using the same type of lighting that a romantic fine dining
restaurant would. And if you run a business that’s open for multiple meals, it could be worth
it to adjust your lighting for your brunch, lunch, dinner, or other meal services.
a. Breakfast
Bright lighting should be used for meal services earlier in the day. In the morning,
customers need bright light to wake up and read their newspapers as they enjoy their coffee.
Natural light is the ideal source for this.
b. Lunch
Lunchtime services should have moderate lighting. Higher lighting levels are
especially good for fast food restaurants and convenience stores, where people won’t be
sitting down to eat, but they are grabbing something quickly instead. Lighting can even help
create faster turnover rates and flow customers in and out more quickly, so keep this in mind
if you'd like your busiest meal service to move faster.
c. Dinner
Establishments that do most of their sales during dinner services typically try to have
a more relaxing atmosphere, regardless of whether it’s a casual or upscale restaurant.
Dinnertime is the most popular time to go out to eat, since customers can sit back and relax
after their day. When you provide them with a relaxing atmosphere, your guests may linger
and spend more on food, drinks, and dessert, giving you a higher profit.
2.4.12.7 Restaurant lighting fixtures and their uses
From decorative ceiling-mounted light fixtures to wall-mounted sconces, there are
many types of lighting to suit your restaurant decor. Check out some of the most popular
lighting options below:
a. Pendant Lights
o Hangs from the ceiling and can be
positioned over bars, tables,
islands, countertops, and host areas
o Provides great task lighting for
guests when reading menus
b. Chandeleirs
o Hangs from the ceiling and creates a
focal point in an entrance way or dining room
o Provides light and elegant style
c. Ceiling Fans
o Creates light and air circulation
o Great for covered outdoor patios
d. Scones
o Provides accent lighting
o Attached to walls and can be used to
flank artwork or mirrors
o Often used in restrooms as vanity lights
e. Track Lighting
o Multiple fixtures are attached on a
continuous track and can be set to
direct light in multiple directions
o Creates focal points
o Can be placed on ceilings or beams
f. Led Lighting
o LED lights are more energy efficient
than other options, resulting in lower utility
bills.
o They're directional, so they focus the
light in one specific area.
o LED lights are ideal for restaurants and
bars that aren't looking for accent pieces
or decorative lights.
g. Recessed Lighting
o Have openings that are flush to the
ceiling
o Send narrow bands of light
downwards
o Used for ambient or task lighting
h. Utility Lighting
o Offers no specific design influence, but
provides important lighting to rooms
dedicated to service and function, like
commercial kitchens, dish rooms, and
storage areas
Lighting is an extremely important part of restaurant design. From the different types of
lighting and the proper use of natural light to the latest technology in smart lighting, there’s a
lot to take into account. So whether you’re trying to set the right mood in your new bar or you
need to adjust your restaurant between your lunch and dinner services, lighting can make all
the difference.
2.4.13 Colors
Interiors are not just about the ambiance and decor of the restaurant. Colors are
important aspect of the interiors as they play a significant role in influencing customer
perception, and also impact their purchase decision. Restaurant interior colors should be
chosen with care and should be in sync with your restaurant’s theme and concept.Studies
have shown that restaurant interior colors can impact the psychology of customers, making
them subconsciously react in many ways ranging from affecting the food choices of
customers to the amount of money they spend.
Impact of the various restaurant interior colors on customers:
2.4.13.1 Light colours: white, beige, and light grey
Colors such as white and beige have also been proved to evoke a relaxed feel
among customers, making them want to stay more as they feel welcomed.Also, the best
color for a restaurant ceiling is mostly white or beige, to make the place look more spacious.
b. Restrict odors
We all love the smell of delicious food. However, no one wants to leave the restaurant
with the smell of fried onions. Makeup air units and exhaust hoods prevent food odors from
moving into the dining space. This creates a favorable atmosphere both for staff and guests.
c. Control kitchen air quality & temperature
Commercial kitchens tend to get hot and stuffy. That’s because the air gets filled with
oven heat, fryer grease, and smoke. If the kitchen doesn’t have an efficient HVAC, it
becomes a dangerous working space.
To solve this issue, you’ll need air conditioning units, makeup air units, and exhaust
hoods. Moreover, you’ll need ventilators to prevent smoky air from affecting the staff’s
health.
d. Enhance air filtration & ventilation
Air conditioning, ventilation, and makeup air units circulate air throughout the restaurant.
These units work together, creating a comfortable and safe environment for occupants. Also,
they improve ventilation to remove airborne contaminants and pollutants. As you know,
unventilated air can promote the growth of bacteria, mold, and viruses.
HVAC engineers follow basic standards set by the American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). For example, a formula denotes
how much air is required for each person in a particular space, which establishes an air flow
level.
2.4.15 Flooring
The flooring becomes the foundation of your decor aesthetic. It also must be
functional and safe. It’s also important to evaluate rules with regard to quality flooring
options that are allowed in regulated spaces like prep areas.
There is a huge variety of choices when it comes to selecting your restaurant’s
flooring. You may choose to go with one seamless look or a combination of materials. Here
are some choices to start thinking about your flooring plan.
2.4.15.1 Concrete
Polished concrete is a great choice in terms of durability. It’s incredibly strong and
easy to maintain. It also resists stains
and damage from impacts. This makes
concrete an ideal choice for the high
traffic areas in your restaurant.
Concrete can also be extremely
versatile. It can be dyed or stained in a
huge range of colors. It can also be
etched or finished with a pattern or
texture for added style. Your restaurant
may already sit on a concrete slab that can be polished and sealed for a refined look at a low
cost.
2.4.15.2 Tile
Tile is a popular choice for commercial spaces and for good reason. It’s low
maintenance and water-resistant. Its durability and strength make it a great material choice
for a wide range of areas. It’s not only a perfect choice for dining areas but works well in
kitchens and bathrooms too.
Tile is also one of the more diverse choices for flooring. It comes in an endless array
of options and styles. Large neutral tiles are a good choice for large, open spaces. Smaller,
bolder tiles are a fun choice to make a big impact in more compact areas.
2.4.15.3 Cork
Does your restaurant have a strong emphasis on your wine menu? Then cork could
be the perfect choice for your flooring. It’s sound dampening nature is useful in crowded
spaces. Plus, it’s unique look makes a statement.
Cork is eco-friendly and easy to clean and maintain. When properly sealed, it can be
extremely durable. It can also be refinished to bring new life to it after several years. You can
even opt for cork plank flooring that is designed to look similar to hardwood.
2.4.15.4 Hardwood
Hardwood is a classic flooring choice for its durability and timeless style. It can be
used with any design aesthetic and is relatively easy to maintain. It can also be refinished
and restained to change up the look.
Hardwood installed in a herringbone or chevron pattern can create visual interest in
your space. Consider planks with different variants of stain colors for a more trendy look.
2.4.15.5 Laminate
Laminate is an
awesome choice to stand up to
the daily wear and tear your
restaurant experiences. Its
resin coating makes it a
scratch-resistant and easy to
clean choice for high traffic
areas. It will also be resilient to
any spills that are inevitable to
occur.
Its low cost and
flexibility make laminate a wise
choice for large spaces. It
comes in a huge assortment of
designs and colors. It’s often
made to look like wood but can also be designed to simulate tile and stone, making it a
budget-friendly option for a high-end look.
2.4.15.6 Epoxy
Epoxy is a resilient floor coating that covers an existing concrete floor. It’s a good
choice for large restaurant spaces as it’s extremely durable and simple to maintain. It’s
waterproof and eliminates the risk of mold or mildew.
You can create a seamless design as epoxy is an ideal material for all of the spaces
in your restaurant. It comes in an endless range of colors and can be as simple or as
complex as you want. You can opt for a flat finish for an industrial look or a metallic sheen
for a more decorative design.
2.4.15.7 Vinyl
Vinyl is a popular choice for flooring because of its cost-efficiency. It is also durable
and low-maintenance, making it a great choice for restaurant environments. Flooring made
of vinyl insulates sound and reduces echo. It also provides a soft, safe surface to walk on.
Luxury vinyl tile or LVT is a perfect balance of cost and design. It comes in a huge
range of styles and price ranges and installation is a simple process. It’s varying shades and
sizes make it a great choice for any type of decor.
2.4.15.8 Stone
Are you looking for a durable surface that is ideal for all of the areas of your
restaurant? Stone is a good choice for both high-end appearances and long-lasting use. It
stands up well to heavy traffic as well as drops and spills.
There are several types of stone used for flooring. Tiles made from granite and slate
are extremely durable and easy to clean. Look for textured stone to provide for good traction
to prevent falls. Stone tiles come in many styles and can fit well in a large variety of decor
themes.
2.4.15.9 Rubber
Rubber has been predominantly used as kitchen flooring, but it can be a great choice
for all of the areas of a restaurant. It is resistant to stains and water and extremely durable.
It’s also slip-resistant and absorbs sound. The softness of rubber flooring reduces the risk
that dropped dishes will sustain damage.
The selection of rubber flooring has been expanding in recent years. It is available in
a variety of colors and styles including solids and patterned designs. You can even opt for
recycled rubber flooring for an eco-friendly alternative.
2.4.15.10 Carpet
If you want to create a cozy, intimate setting in your dining room, carpet floors may
be the way to go. It may seem risky to opt for carpet in a room that will surely have food and
drink spills. However, there are options that can minimize these risks.
Carpet is sound dampening and soft underfoot, creating a quiet environment. It is
inexpensive and can be treated to make it more stain-resistant and easier to thoroughly
clean. You can even look for carpet tiles so if one is permanently damaged, just that piece of
the floor would need to be replaced.
2.4.16 Ceiling
Restaurants usually have a large number of rooftop units for kitchen vents, cooler
compressors, and air conditioners. This means that there are a lot of flashing details for
curbs, vents & pitch pockets & these are the most common source of problems on any flat
roof. When selecting a ceiling material for a particular application, several things, such as
type and frequency of maintenance, sound attenuation, fire control, etc., should be taken into
account.
When installing a ceiling, the following items must be noted:
a. Ceiling finishes in food storage, food preparation, utensil washing, refuse storage,
janitorial areas, service areas, toilet rooms and employee change/clothing storage
areas shall be smooth without texture. Painted surfaces shall be gloss or semi-gloss
enamel paint, or epoxy paint.
b. Open beam or rafter ceilings are not acceptable except at bars in which alcoholic
beverages are sold or served directly to the consumers, customer dining or sales
areas, and storage rooms where only food in unopened bottles, cans, cartons, sacks,
or other original shipping containers is stored.
c. Surface mounted piping is not approved. Piping, ducts, and conduits of all types must
be properly concealed within walls or above the finished ceiling.
d. Attachments to ceilings such as light fixtures, mechanical room ventilation systems
components, vent covers, wall-mounted fans, decorative items, and other
attachments shall be easily cleanable. However, exposed horizontal duct work is not
permitted except in customer dining or sales areas.
2.4.17 Parking
The number of parking spaces available near your restaurant can influence the
number of customers who enter your establishment. Some restaurant-goers, including
families, are more likely to travel by car, and a lack of parking can mean losing their
business. That’s why your restaurant needs to come up with solutions to solve its limited
parking lot problems. Parking is often sparse and expensive to gain in metropolitan areas.
Many restaurants, as a result, must make do with the parking they have available, whether
that’s a small lot, a nearby parking garage, or a few spots on the street. A popular solution
for many restaurants is to put up signs with a time limit so that they can keep the flow of
customers moving in and out of the parking lot.
Typical parking requirements for any restaurant or fast food land use is as follows:
o <2,500 square feet of building area – 1 space for each 100 square feet of building
area
o >2,500 square feet of building area – 1 space for each 75 square feet of building
area
o If no customer service or dining area is provided – 1 space for each 275 square feet
of building area
o Drive-in service – 8 queue spaces for each service lane
Reductions in the total parking requirement may be made to reflect different hours of
operation; different hourly, daily or monthly peaks.
with clearly visible signals or a voice announcement, making it clear to all occupants that
a fire is happening.
2.5 Vaastu
Vastu is a science of architecture that mainly focuses on direction of a living space
together with combining all five nature's elements to create a congenial setting/atmosphere
helping the occupants to experience peace, prosperity, happiness, and soundness of
health.Some of the vastu tips for restaurants are:
o It is advisable to make seating arrangements for the restaurant on the first floor only.
o Main entrance of the restaurant should always be from the East or North.
o Reception in restaurants should be better placed in the Northern side.
o Storage room to store raw material, grains etc. must be ideally placed in the South-
west.
o Kitchen in the restaurant should always be held in South-east and avoid other
location or direction

2.6 Landscaping
Not only interior aspects but the exterior views must be aesthetically pleasing too. If
The landscape is pleasing and beautiful then it will help in welcoming the patrons
naturally.Greens against concrete surfaces are very inviting, thus a good choice to use right
at the entrance. If there is enough space creating a pathway surrounded by colorful plants or
foliage would be a good idea. If none of this is applicable then use of some decorative
planters on both sides of the entry would also be appealing.It is the visible features of an
area of site. Besides serving great meals, a restaurant must present the perfect atmosphere
for the guests to savor their meals or drinks.Landscaping may vary from the climate, land
topography and surrounding of the site. For Hot Climate, Planting climbing vines, adding
flower, hydroponic or aquaculture system, planting shrubs around the Patio or in the
entrance makes the environment fresh and cool.For Cold Climate, Construction of fire pit,
providing patio furniture, creating open spaces for sunbath.

4 CONCLUSION
Going through the literature review and case studies and as discussed in the report
this research helped us compare between the existing restaurants and how the restaurant
should be built. Many differences were found while doing the case study. The unique theme
or features attract the customers more than the normal architecture.
This report suggests us that any high-quality restaurant design should provoke the
emotional engagement of all five senses - sight, smell, touch, sound, and taste. The more
our restaurant design allows for these to be brought together in a synergistic way, the
stronger the brand experience will be.
Finally we are aids for our study by this report as we can apply different design
guidelines for restaurants design mentioned here.
