Furnishings-
I have chosen three main types of seating for the café and an additional stool bar which can seat up to six people for convenience if they only want a quick sandwich.
I have placed six small 2person tables in the far corner where the bay windows are so that they can enjoy the views.
There are then six larger tables which can each seat 4people, they are in the middle of the room next to the 2-person table because this makes use of the space and keeps the seating area altogether instead of having it scattered.
If there are any school groups which may need larger table there are two six-person tables right in the middle of the room and the option of adding an extra table if needed before the schools arrival, there is also a corner table in the top right hand corner of the room, this has six bar stools, and helps seat customer who wont be spending long and the other seating is all full.
Also, the 4person tables are a standard shape which can be joined together for large groups.
I have chosen square tables so that they can be joined together for larger groups as circle table cannot be joined together easily.
With the amount of tables and seating area the café can seat up to 54 people with an additional dozen children or so in the Kids Korner.
The Kids Korner has a TV unit and table where they can get dot-to-dot drawings and match up fish, they are learning activities to help them remember what they learned in the aquarium earlier.
There is a small fish tank wall divider which separates the Kids Korner from the seating area so that parents/guardians can still keep an eye on their children but other visitors can also have peace too.
There is also a packed lunch bar beside to the entrance/exit, this is for parents who want to buy a small packed lunch for their child to have later in the day or simply for people who don’t want to join the queue but want to buy a quick snack which they can take out.
Beside the Packed Lunch Bar are the bins for people to put their rubbish on the way out.
As people enter the café there are fish shaped footprints to guide them to the food counter and there is a fish tank dividing the space so that when people walk around it there can be a longer queue and they also have something interesting to look at.
In your industry, an entry barrier is to provide customers with high quality, fresh, homemade products. With the surge of the health craze, more people are likely to go to a Café type establishment, than go to a fast food restaurant. Health-conscious customers have come to know and expect this from any café/restaurant trying to enter this market.
... are enough power outlets to fuel the creative mind of the techno-geared caffeine addict. The unique decor and fantastic music give it the feel of an NYC cafe. The friendly staff also contributes to the pleasant environment. All of the capable baristas are introduced on the restaurant’s website, with short and sweet bios about them all. This creates a close-knit family, all with a love for quality coffee. This familiarity encourages loyalty to the coffee shop. The full wall of windows provides a view of Bedford Street and again stresses that the products should be enjoyed in the morning. On a sunny morning, the light fills the cafe and illuminates the mural, a focal point. The artistic, wispy design disguises a boring brick wall as a magnificent work of art. The cozy and intimate setting encourages the consumer to return to enjoy the food and people that they love.
When walking into the lobby, one will be greeted with a smile and be treated like family. They have a lovely dining room, filled with old family photos, which creates a real homey feel. In the center of the dining room is a grand family table. It’s great for family seating or a big event. When taking young children to a restaurant, many customers have difficulties having children happy or calm. At Carrabba’s children can expect to be entertained by receiving the “Bambini menu” (kid’s menu) and pizza dough to play with. Customers also have an option to sit front seat at the kitchen counter, where they can interact and watch the chef create the delicious meals. Patrons can also chose to sit at the bar with availability to television screens or have a more private setting. The kitchen also omits wonderful smells, making one think that they’re back at their mother’s house for dinner. The ambience of Carrabba’s can create a home away from home feeling, that will surly make one feel homesick when they haven’t visited
One key design principle of this establishment was of a casual sit-in dining restaurant opposed to being seated with a server and menus, a person must order from the front. This cuts down on the time it takes a family to wait, settle in, wait, and then order off or a menu. Also the restaurant is spacious and has a lot of seating allowing for a rush of people with no problem. Another key design that governed that effectiveness of this process what the way the kitchen was mostly exposed and in the front. If you were sitting close to the front you could watch your food be prepared. I’m sure the cooks feel the extra pressure being under the watchful eye of the people whom the food belongs to. Another design principle that governs the effectiveness of the process in Jason’s Deli is the menu itself. The menu is pretty diverse but the one common denominator is that the food is recognized as healthy and made from the freshest ingredients possible. Finally I would add the self-servicing drink station is another key design principle because this cuts down on the time it take to wait for a waitress for a drink refill (if this were a formal restaurant).
This table is high off the ground and we sit on stools, which makes it feel like we are at a bar, or another type of informal eatery.

BB's Cafe offers New Orleans-style dishes with a touch of Texas flair. Its welcoming setting is great for grabbing a bite to eat for lunch with colleagues or dining out with family. Owner Brooks Bassler is proud to share his grandmother's recipes with locals or travelers to the area. BB's Cafe has starters like fried pickle chips and Cajun-style taquitos stuffed with blackened shrimp. Patrons can enjoy an entrée of crawfish tails smothered in a red roux, shrimp and grits or oven-baked flounder filled with crab dressing. This restaurant also serves its popular New Orleans-style po' boys and hearty salads.

Customers arrive at the first station and wait in line to be served next. First, customers can choose from an option of rice bowl, taco or burrito in the first station. Then, customers continue down the line and choose between brown rice and white rice along with the choice of beans, fajita veggies, and different meats. Next, the food moves to the third station. Customers can choose among different salsa, cream, lettuce, guacamole, and cheese to add to their food. Last, customers can pay their food by cash or credit card and add drinks in their meals. After customers make payments, they can get a cup of drinks, choose from soda, lemonade, water and iced tea from soda machines, which are next to server stations. Since Chipotle's menu is very simple, customers usually do not take a long time thinking what they want to order. Thus, this design improves the efficiency of the ordering process. In addition, the continuous supply of pre-preparation of essential items, such as different salsa, from their kitchen also maintain the smooth flow of the ordering process.
Many of the customers are regulars who have been coming to the restaurant ever since it first opened, which is why the owners make it a priority to provide a consistent menu with the customer’s favorite entrees. The restaurant strictly serves dinner options, as it opens its doors at 4pm. The menu consists of seafood, pasta, steak, and sandwiches, as well as a daily entrée and soup specials, allowing every customer to find something that appeals to them on the menu. Although the menu features a wide variety of food, many of the options, especially the seafood, can be quite pricey for many customers. This results in many customers only being able to come in for special occasions, as the food is too expensive to pay for on a regular basis. Some of the restaurants most popular items, such as the prime rib, are only available on the weekend, resulting in customers who come into the restaurant specifically for thos...

...nd if possible barriers such as tables should be avoided (Cole, 2005). In group intervention the placement of chairs is very important in the facilitating of communication. A circle shape should be formed in order to allow all parties to communicate; this is to avoid the OT being the centre of all communication (Cole, 2005).
My company plan is open a small cafe in CBD. My Café will be located on the West Street, Near Auckland University. Because mostly students visit café for food, entertainment and coffee and they enjoy some time with their friends. So my café fulfill students all needs and provide opportunities to enjoy with friends and colleagues.
The coffee shop I decided to do my observation was the well known Starbucks just a couple blocks away. The reason I chose this coffee shop was because of it 's style inside, it attracted me. For example, one side of the wall has a glass top, and the lower part of the wall, made of wood and painted in a bright red color, which was one thing that attracted me and stood out. Outside of the shop people can actually see through the glass wall and get to see what’s happening inside of the coffeeshop. By the entrance you see these two red ceiling lamps which were shaped in a flower bud and these two tall green plants. Once you were in, on the right of the shop there was a counter with food and things to put in your drinks such as milk, sugar, chocolate, etc and the colors and how the food was displayed and served was appealing to my eyes. Behind that counter there was a long table with different electronic devices plugged into the wall. On the middle of the those there is a fridge just for ice and when I turned to the other side and I noticed a big menu on the wall. Further more into the shop, there was an area filled with tables, chairs, and sofas. The tables were in different shapes, one was round and the others rectangular, also there was four bamboo baskets and I looked around and noticed that the walls in that area were decorated with paintings.
