Speaking to Space Planning and Out Door Patio Areas
and how they relate to the interior hospitality space.

We provide a consulting service that supports local design and constructions efforts to create successful Food and Beverage Facilities. Our consulting efforts focus on facility space planning and how the preprogrammed activities of the space support informal social interaction among your guests.

The consulting services are cost effective and compatible working with design professionals and owners representatives.

On site review of the project is billed on an expense only basis, scope of involvement evaluated and fee's negotiated. Our experience includes all types of beverage oriented facilities from major clubs to urban neighborhood pubs.

Contact us today, schedule an on site review and take the first step towards a successful development.

Successful beverage operations are a chemistry of many variables, the one factor commonly overlooked is the social engineering of the space and defining the specific activity mix for the operation.

Sociability and guest interaction is the core of every successful beverage operation and that informal customer interaction is created in the floor plan.

Bar placement, food service traffic, games, entertainment, smoking patio access, even bathroom placement should be part of a this strategic plan.

If your design team isn't discussing these details of the floor plan you need help.

1. Bar, soffit and supportive seating style and placement.
2. Seating height, drink rail placement and traffic patterns both service and social.
3. Entertainment staging, dance floor access, TV and equipment placement.
3. Correct coin op game placement, mix and supporting seating.
4. Smoking patio development, access, activity, heating, windbreaks and custom seating.
5. Lighting fixture type, position and dimming controls.

"All to often, restaurateurs and designers ignore the human factor in quest for a fashionable look. While a stylish interior may initially attract customers, it will not repeat business if it makes patrons feel awkward. No restaurant or lounge should be planned without consideration of human presence. For in the end it is the interaction of people and their environment that generates and sustains excitement."
