    Design Guidelines for a Dining Room
    Main considerations
    Traffic paths
    Space allocation
    Typical table sizes
    Main considerations
    Main design considerations include ease of maintenance, sound control, wait stations, lighting, desired ambiance, menu offering, HVAC, seating arrangement, sanitation, cashier, control systems, regional competition, table service size and quantity.
    Traffic Paths
    Delineate good, clear paths between well-defined seating areas. Minimum traffic path between occupied chairs is 18 inches, 30 inches for minor aisles and 4 feet for major aisles.
    Space Allocation
    Space allocation for the dining area is usually based on the number of square feet per person-seated times the number of persons seated at one time. A turnover rate of three per meal period is usually a satisfactory design figure. Allow one half to one third of the overall square footage for the front-of-the-house.
    Typical table sizes
    Consider food presentation, plate size and desired turn over before selecting seating style.
