How your restaurant design need to change because of COVID?

 

The coronavirus pandemic and the economic havoc it has created is beyond the imagination. While some have shut down others have adapted to the changing environment. One of the aspects of this change of sanitization and social distance is to re-examine the restaurant décor you have and how it can accommodate the changing needs. Few of the trends as a restaurant owner you should know to ensure you continue to get visitors and at the same time keep your staff as well as visitors safe from this virus.

Go Contactless: 

With the need to disinfect surfaces after every meal, many restaurants are doing away with traditional tabletop décor like lamps, candles, tablecloths, and flowers that would need to be cleaned between seats. Most of the restaurants have already replaced their menu cards with QR codes that allow them to load the menus directly on their smartphones.

Finding Ways To Ensure Social Distancing:

One of the common changes observed in this pandemic is reducing the indoor sitting capacity up to 50%. Many restaurants have installed a series of mini-greenhouses that seem to glow in the evening, creating a romantic atmosphere for guests. If your restaurant/café doesn’t have the provision for social distance, hire a commercial construction professional. The right professionals will help you make the space and give ideas to maintain social distance such as see-through partitions.

More Takeout: 

For some people, takeout is still the safest bet. If you haven’t started the takeout service before, it is time to start offering takeout service to your customers. Make sure you have a large area to takeout to minimize entry.

 

Open-air restaurants with individual booths will be preferred over AC rooms, bringing in a lot of natural light, green nooks will be the new trend. Call commercial maintenance services and invest in AC filtration systems with germ filters. The key is to create a vibe while still giving space to visitors to maintain social distancing norms
