Coffee shop design, cafe design and bar design as a means of generating profit

A well-designed interior of a cozy cafe will be comfortable for staff and attractive to visitors. In the format of a cafe, which implies the preparation of not only drinks, but also dishes, it is worth considering a place for storing and preparing food, as well as a place for washing dishes. The design developed for such a cafe, the photo of which is shown next, takes into account all these features.

If we consider the design of a small coffee shop, then all areas related to the preparation of products can be excluded. All that remains is the welcome area, the checkout area and the bar, which can be combined behind the bar counter. If this design is chosen for the coffee shop, then the main hall may consist of a couple of tables and bar stools at the counter. The typical design of a coffee shop, the photo of which can be seen next to it, implies the allocation of space for a toilet room and a small utility room.

The interior design of the cafe depends entirely on the chosen direction in style. It is often recommended to use pastel and light colors. It is psychologically difficult for a person to stay in bright, flashy shades for a long time. The design of a cafe should include both large elements (furniture, lighting, room colors) and small ones (additional light sources, figurines, mobile suspensions, paintings, landscaping elements).

Even an inexpensive cafe interior is designed to be remembered and encouraged to make purchases. The atmosphere of friendliness and unobtrusiveness is quite achievable even in modest areas. The cafe, the interior of which is thought out from the point of view of the staff’s work, will be remembered by the speed of service. The interior decoration, rich in interesting elements, will delay the client to see everything. A place for a photo zone with a memorable decor will bring additional advertising and mentions. An example of this is the interior of a cafe, the photo of which is placed next to it.

Separating the directions “design for a coffee shop” and “design of a bar”, nevertheless, they are one and the same direction in the provision of catering services, but in its different forms. Establishments of this kind consist of two obligatory main parts: the premises where the services are rendered, and the auxiliary premises.

main hall

A cafe project, regardless of its size, necessarily includes this part. It can be divided by walls or otherwise zoned into:

• a welcome area for guests;
• bar area;
• checkout area;
• hall with seats;
• wardrobe, toilet for visitors.

When designing the design of a mini coffee shop or bar, it is important to assign your place to all these zones. Part of the functions can be performed by the bar counter itself – to combine the functionality of the welcome area, cash desk and bar. In the warm season, it is logical to use the adjacent territory to accommodate guests or a welcome zone. The design of the cafe, the photo of which is shown next, implies just such a merger.

Utility rooms

Considering the interior of a cafe, these include:

• loading and unloading area;
• food warehouse, refrigerator (if available);
• kitchen;
• service rooms for staff, service toilet.

The design of a small cafe may provide for the merging of several zones, but it is important to remember that there should be enough space for the comfortable work of the staff.
