 RESTAURANT
A restaurant is a place where you go to eat food that you typically have to pay for.
Usually, these places are found inside of structures. If you have the money, restaurants
will provide you food, and most of the time they'll even let you sit down and eat it. The
French verb restaurer, which meaning "to provide for," is the root of the English word
"restaurant."
1. Fast Food Restaurants (QSR)
Fast food restaurants are the original quick-service restaurant. In the industry, they are
often just referred to as QSRs. A defining factor of fast food businesses is that the menu
can be prepared very quickly, usually taking only minutes. Many ingredients are
precooked or frozen and only need to be reheated. Orders are served packaged in
disposable food wrap and takeout boxes. This style of mass-produced cuisine is called
"fast food".

2. Casual Restaurants

A casual restaurant offers full-service dining, where guests are seated and waited on by
the server staff. But unlike more formal dining rooms, casual restaurants provide roomy,
comfortable seating and a laid-back atmosphere. Menus contain comfort foods and
items that are tried and true. You won't find experimental cuisine and trendy decor at a
casual restaurant. Diners, mom-and-pops, and many popular chain restaurants are
considered casual dining restaurants.

3. Fast Casual Restaurants

Fast casual eateries combine the quick service of a fast food joint with an elevated
menu of healthier, less processed food options. Build-your-own menus are a common
fast casual concept, featuring sandwiches, wraps, or burritos that are prepared fresh to
order. Ordering, payment, and food pickup are all performed at the counter. Self-serve
drinks and coffee stations are common. Some fast casuals may perform limited table
service by delivering orders, but there is no serving staff.

4. Contemporary Casual Restaurant

Contemporary casual restaurants offer sit-down table service just like a casual eatery,
but they have an elevated theme, a trendy menu, and picture-worthy decor. Many
contemporary restaurants feature global or fusion cuisine, gluten-free and vegan
options, and eco-friendly practices. These upscale casual restaurants are independently
owned or part of a small regional chain. For the young and hip, a contemporary casual
restaurant is usually a top choice when dining out.
5. Fine Dining Restaurant
Fine dining restaurants occupy the peak position when it comes to formality and price.
The style of fine dining service is an age-old tradition with many rules and nuances.
There are extra little touches that you won't find in any other type of restaurant, like
when a server "crumbs" the table to remove any crumbs from the tablecloth. Even
guests are expected to follow a dress code when dining out at an upscale
establishment. This gives fine dining an exclusive feel and makes it a treat reserved for
special occasions, such as an anniversary, a birthday, or a wedding. A fine dining menu
will feature items that you wouldn't eat every day, like caviar, steak tartare, or foie gras.

6. Cafe or Coffee Shop

Coffee shops and cafes occupy a special place in the hearts of many consumers.
They're often associated with rituals like buying that first cup of coffee on the way to
work, gathering with friends to chat, or waiting for the return of a beloved seasonal
drink. Many cafes are now co-working spaces too, so remote workers can enjoy their
favorite coffee drink while working on their laptops. Cafes and coffee shops feature a
drink-heavy menu that focuses on coffee and tea, but they may also have a bakery case
and offer small, easy-to-prepare breakfast and lunch items.

7. Specialty Drink Shops

Specialty drinks shops that sell bubble tea, smoothies, or fresh juices are becoming
more popular and widespread. The beverage industry is growing, and coffee and tea
aren't the only drinks in the spotlight anymore. Smoothie shops and bubble tea shops
offer a menu of customizable drinks with many flavors, toppings, and add-ins to choose
from. These businesses usually occupy a small storefront with no seating or sometimes
a small seating space. Customers place their orders at the counter and drinks are
prepared with specialty beverage equipment.

8. Buffet Restaurants

The next type of restaurant on our list is the all-you-can-eat buffet. A buffet restaurant
operates differently than other eateries. Instead of a menu, buffets are distinguished by
self-serve food stations where guests can fill their plates as many times as they like for
a flat price. Instead of cooking dishes to order, buffet cooks prepare large quantities of
dishes that can be held in salad bar stations or hot food stations. Because of this, you
won't find delicate dishes at a buffet. But you will find a large variety of comfort foods
that fill guests up quickly.
9. Food Trucks

Food trucks started as a trend, but they've become a mainstay in the foodservice
industry. What's not to love about mobile restaurants that can bring popular foods to
businesses, events, parks, and even residential neighborhoods? Food trucks are
compact kitchens on wheels. They offer a select menu that usually focuses on one type
of cuisine, but they do it well. Guests order and pay at the window, then pick up their
meal when it's ready. Busy food trucks might use online and mobile order-and-pay
options to speed up their service.

10. Concession Stands

Sometimes forgotten on the list of restaurant types, concession stands and snack bars
are viable foodservice businesses. A concession stand booth usually occupies a very
small space with just enough room for a service counter, some light equipment, and
occasionally a small kitchen area. Some concessions take the form of mobile carts or
kiosks that can be operated by one person who serves customers and prepares orders.
You'll find concession stands inside ballparks, theaters, and amusement parks.
Boardwalks, festivals, and outdoor events are also prime locations for selling
concessions.

11. Pop-Up Restaurants

Pop-up restaurants, bars, and stands are a newer business model that allows owners,
chefs, and guests to try out new food and restaurant concepts. A pop-up business
occupies a temporary foodservice space for a short period and tests out a menu. Some
pop-ups continue to use the same method and "pop up" for events or on a monthly
basis. Other pop-ups end up growing into larger businesses, sometimes food trucks,
bars, or sit-down restaurants.

12. Ghost Restaurants

A ghost restaurant, also called a ghost kitchen or virtual brand, is a restaurant that
operates without a storefront. Essentially, a ghost restaurant is just a kitchen. All sales
are performed digitally and food orders are usually delivered. There is no guest
interaction at the business location. A ghost kitchen may even support multiple brands
or concepts. Virtually, each brand has its own identity and menu, but inside the ghost
kitchen, all orders are prepared side by side. Pete's Pizza and Tina's Tacos appear to
be two different restaurants with different websites, but the menus are both being
prepared in the same satellite kitchen.
PLANNING AND DESIGN CONSIDERATION

Outline Each Space

Your restaurant is a little like a home in that you have separate spaces that must
function both independently from one another and together.

You’ll find several important spaces to consider:

1. The first space to think about is your kitchen. It should take up about 30-40% of
your space. While this may seem like a lot of space, it is the central part of your
restaurant. Without your kitchen, you have nothing. Start here when planning your
layout.

2. The next most obvious space is your dining room. Experts agree you
should allocate 40-60% of your space to your dining room because like your
kitchen, your restaurant doesn’t survive without customers.

3. When it comes to the bathrooms, consider putting them near your kitchen so you
can tie into your existing plumbing and water lines. If you have enough room, a
staff-only bathroom is handy. Don’t skimp on your public restrooms, though. Tip –
make sure there are enough stalls in your ladies room.

4. Do you need a bar area? Not all restaurants will, but if you do, consider this into
your overall layout plan.

5. Your entry area is also important as it’s the first glimpse patrons have of the inside
of your restaurant. If you anticipate waits, make sure the area is large enough to
handle the crowd. If not, and you’re fast casual, this area can shrink in size.

Think About Seating Capacity

Your restaurant layout should be comfortable. While you may want to stuff as many
tables and chairs as possible into your dining area, we encourage you to think about
your customers’ comfort.
Ambiance is an important part of a restaurant’s success, and if yours is overcrowded
and uncomfortable, you’ll lose repeat business.

FUNCTIONAL AREAS

Functional areas are working spaces designed for specific tasks, and Briana
determines the following areas will be needed in her restaurant: loading dock/receiving
area, storage area, food preparation area, dining area, dish washing area, office space,
employee break room, and public restrooms.
