Coat Check Area
This old custom has turned into a trend once again. Restaurants are able to make their guests feel comfortable and taken care of right from the start by hanging their coats in a room designed specifically for this purpose.
Open Kitchen Layout
Connecting the center of the restaurant (the dining room) to the heart (the kitchen) allows guests to feel part of the preparation process. Visitors can learn about the dishes and interact with the staff as the food is being prepared, which gives a never ending topic of conversation and a source of entertainment during the whole evening.
Outdoor Dining Space
This trend had been accentuated due to pandemic regulations in the last years, but it stuck because of the great appeal it found among guests. Restaurants also use outdoor spaces as a way to display their unique identity with creative decor.
Outside Kitchens
This trend goes hand-in-hand with outdoor spaces. Outside kitchens allow staff to work efficiently and serve guests outside while allowing them to have the same source of entertainment open concept kitchens provide indoors.
Craft Beer or Wine Storage Room
Nowadays, people go to restaurants in search of a new experience. Restaurants that brew their own beverages or allow visitors to go through their wine cellar to select their drink are more attractive.
Private Dining Rooms
Select groups of people enjoy having dinner in private suites that oftentimes have exclusive dinner options and integrated technology into the design.
