Create A Great Atmosphere For Your Restaurant Using 3 Top Tips

How many restaurants do you know that serve fabulous food but their décor or all round atmosphere leaves you feeling a little flat? You might even be a restaurant owner who faces this exact predicament, so what do you do? Here are 3 top tips to create a great atmosphere to match the food.

Define your concept

A confusing restaurant concept just might be enough to put diners off from coming back again. Whereby one with a clear concise story to tell is sure to make the the overall experience all that more memorable for the customer. For example if you’re championing local produce then why not put up past and present pictures of your area and build up a history in pictures. Alternatively if your passion is serving great rustic French food then you might want to make your interior typically French with Tolix chairs and chequered table cloths. Whatever your concept make sure your customers understand what you’re about.

Shed a little light

This is a tricky one to get right. Too much light and it ruins the ambience and mood but too dark and you can’t see what it is you’re eating. Okay so maybe in some restaurants that’s not a bad idea but on the whole the right amount of spotlighting and up-lighting is key. If you’re stuck for inspiration, then there are are a multitude of design websites that are dedicated to lighting so spend some time understanding what it is you need.

30 Minute seating

In the old days some restaurant furniture used to be known as 30 minute seating. This is because customers could just about sit on the hard surfaces for 30 minutes before they became completely numb. This was ideal for busy restaurants looking to turn tables quickly. Nowadays however a greater range of styles means that more focus is being placed on the right comfortable furniture. In these days of social media and restaurant reviews, you really don’t want to be known as the eatery with the rock-hard seating – so don’t be swayed by price or style alone. Instead it pays to try before you buy. Remember if it’s comfortable for you, then chances are it’s going to be comfortable for your customers too.
