But don't make that mistake, because the waiting area offers a great
opportunity to show next-level hospitality.
THE FULL-SERVICE BAR
FLOOR PLAN
You may need several POS terminals at different areas: one for the
bartenders, one for the hosts, and one for the servers, as well as
kitchen display screens for the kitchen staff. Or you may choose to
minimize the amount of technology visible in your dining area and
opt for one terminal hidden away from guests.
OUTDOOR AREAS
FLOOR PLAN
Your restaurant may have an outdoor patio or outdoor seating on the
street – if you do, great! Because a well-set-up patio can increase
gross profits by an incredible 65%.
The ideal location for a patio is close to the kitchen and dining room,
so servers don’t have to walk very far in between. The example
below from Acapulco’s Mexican Restaurant in Denver, CO has a
patio in the back of the restaurant, with round seating. The patio has
seven tables and is close to the dining room and the bathrooms.
THE ENTRANCE
FLOOR PLAN
Diners frequently choose not to visit a
restaurant based solely on its exterior.
Conversely, they can be lured on looks
alone. Before a server even greets a single
guest, you should ensure that your
restaurant invites them inside.
