This list is to help you get started. We recommend you consult with a professional. Interior Designers can
help you save money by taking advantage of their planning, design and construction experience.
Design is a business just like running a restaurant, nightclub or other hospitality organization.
Entering into a renovation project without adequate knowledge can be very costly. p

Many people underestimate the cost of chairs. Chairs can range for $150.00 to $600.00. This range is
based on quality. In a hospitality setting chairs will get a lot of abuse. There are two philosophies, one buy
an inexpensive chair and expect to replace the chair frequently or buy a more expensive chair and it will
last for years. The first options requires less upfront cash where the later is usually a better buy for your
dollar and stress.

There are numerous elements that contribute to the success of a hospitality business. We are going to
focus on the layout and how it can increase profitability. Layout has a strong impact on the customer and
your ability to service the customer. p
When developing a space plan for your restaurant, nightclub or even retail store there are a few issues
that must be addressed. p

ÿ Where do you want to lead your clientele?p

 How does the staff relate to the clientele?p

The answer to the first question is simple. You want t to lead the customer to the area that generates the
revenue. For example, in a nightclub you want to lead them to the bar. In a restaurant your target areas
the tables. In a retail store you want to lead the customer to the merchandise. You need to evaluate which
areas of your business generates the most revenue and that is where you lead the customer. p

Now lets look at the second question. In all cases the staff must serve the customer but, how the
customer is served will vary from business to business. In a restaurant or nightclub the staff needs ample
room to serve the food and drink to the customer while maintaining room for customer flow.
In a retail store environment your employees need to help the client with selection of merchandising and
fittings as well as ring up the customer. The quality of service the customer receives is equally as
important as getting the customer to the desired location. The layout of your space can greatly enhance
or hinder the customer service process. p

Once you have determined where you want to lead your clientele and have analyzed how your clientele
relates to the staff. You must analyze the most effective way to do that within your square footage. Here
are a few key points to get you started.p

× Location of key elements: bar, merchandise, dance floor, lounge area, rest rooms, fitting rooms,
cashier, etc. p
× Creating a good customer flow p
× Square footage vs. anticipated capacitypp
× Analysis of the different types of activities happening within the space and how much square
footage each activity needs. p
× How do the activities relate to one another. p
× Is your staff fully equipped to service your customerspp
× Is the staff satisfied with the layout of their equipment?pp
× How can you optimize the staffs working environment?pp

A good way to get started with this process is by creating bubble plans or adjacency plans. These plans
can help you determine the location of key elements, analyze your activities and see if the relationship is
appropriate. An interior design firm can help you with these issues especially in determining the amount
of square footage each activity needs. p

In summary, you want to create a layout that moves your clientele through the space without creating
bottle necks. Develop a space that creates a total environment that is conducive to your staff and leaves
the customer with a pleasant experience. Also keep in mind that creating one area that generates cash in
not always the most effective method. You want to optimize your square footage by placing several
smaller key purchase points. Therefore, leading your customers through the space while generating
revenue from several areas of your building. In the end layout and design can increase profitability and
has a strong impact on the customer and your ability to service the customer. p
