Introduction It is usually very important for any restaurant, not just a university restaurant, to have an adequate floor plan that ensures the correct flow of activities and service. Otherwise, accidents usually occur, such as guests having difficulty locating the guest room or even getting lost while traveling, servers and guests colliding with each other while turning a sharp curve, or when people have to sit next to them. a stranger(s) in order to give space for another individual to pass through a corridor. To avoid such situations when designing the restaurant it is necessary to investigate the specific needs of the restaurant which in this specific case include; 3000 square foot burger restaurant on a small college campus in New Jersey. Burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, light breakfast and drinks will be served. The restaurant opening hours will be from 8:00 to 23:00. Seating will accommodate 100 customers at tables of 4 people each. The staff will be made up of a head chef, 3 assistant chefs and 6 kitchen staff.

Conclusion If all the important factors are considered and taken into account, you are likely to come up with a practical and functional floor plan that will ensure maximum customer satisfaction. Building users, including employees, should feel comfortable working/eating within its walls. Works Cited Laine, T., Kosonen, R., & Gordon, E. (1999, September).
