With the development of the catering industry, good value for money, food variety, adequate supply of buffet restaurant is more and more popular with ordinary consumers, so many restaurants have chosen to make the restaurant into a buffet mode, and now many enterprises and institutions of the canteen also choose the form of buffet. But the design of the buffet restaurant, because of its special form of food, in the appearance of the layout of the design is not the same as the ordinary restaurant, so in the process of design to consider a variety of factors to ensure that the overall flow of the restaurant is smooth.

Buffet restaurant, the classic type of self-service, different from the sitting and waiting service, counter service, buffet restaurant has the characteristics of dynamic dining. Its spatial layout must be based on the design of traffic flow as a skeleton, to ensure that the logical relationship between different spaces is clear and reasonable, the guest flow and service flow of the two major streams can not have obvious conflicts, must try to reduce the cross, confusion. Emphasis in the design of the guest flow line, weakening the service flow line, the successful flow line design can make the restaurant busy in order, can effectively avoid the customer dining process of the body bumping into the collision, so that the dining process is more relaxed, elegant, but also to make the restaurant’s service is more apparent quality.Buffet restaurant design idea | Buffet restaurant layout plan

Self-service restaurants have a high demand for food trays, so in the process of customer dining will be due to pick up food and dining to produce a large number of need to recycle and clean the tableware. Therefore, it is very important to set up the tableware washing area. Taking into account the flow of customers to and from the process of food cross-line, we should choose the design of the cleaning area from the dining area closer to the location, while the waiter in the recovery of cutlery in the route will not be and the customer’s food route cross-collision, to prevent the impact on the customer’s meal. So this design detail is often overlooked by inexperienced designers.

Buffet restaurant is an open area, so the overall space in the restaurant design needs to be spacious and bright to provide consumers with a dining space without constraints. The style of the entire buffet restaurant should be simple and bright, and through the arrangement of lighting and wall materials to create a relaxed and pleasant environment and atmosphere.

When paying attention to the design style of the restaurant, the top priority is the construction of fire safety. Buffet restaurant belongs to the high traffic, crowded places. In the process of restaurant design must use fire-retardant materials, design layout to design sprinkler facilities. At the same time in the overall layout of the restaurant should be planned emergency evacuation routes, once an accident occurs to facilitate the evacuation of the crowd.Buffet restaurant design idea | Buffet restaurant layout plan

Buffet table selection in the buffet restaurant design is also a very important part of how to choose and design to be able to show customers more of their own rich and varied delicious dishes, how to place in order to allow customers to come to dine in the restaurant to fully feel relaxed and free of charge dining atmosphere at the same time, and the whole buffet restaurant space layout with the complement each other, do not destroy the original spatial design.

We go to the buffet restaurant dining, often see the centre of the restaurant will be placed in an “O” type dining table, which is commonly known as the island table, the island table is a buffet restaurant in the most central, the location is naturally the most important, both conspicuous, but also to be able to fully consider taking care of the customers sitting on the edges and corners of the restaurant, so it will be placed in the central position of the restaurant.Buffet restaurant design idea | Buffet restaurant layout plan

In addition to the most core “O” dining table, buffet restaurant in the common dining table form there are many, the most used two, “I” type and “L” type, the former because of its simple shape, in most cases are placed in the wall, the peak of the meal is also convenient to drag it to the location of the need to independently set up to facilitate the access of any direction of the customer dishes, and the latter is more fixed in the corner of the cafeteria! Immovable, generally by two long table spliced together. There are usually some columns in the restaurant, these columns are not only as a pure furnishings, we can also be used, the most common practice is to use the dining table will be columns around, so that you can have a 360 degrees can be free to take the food area, of course, you can choose not to place dishes, but as a place to put condiments or tableware for customers to take it at any time.
