The first thing a guest sees when they come to your establishment is the design and interior. For your cafe to be memorable, work on the concept and the interior so that everything is thought out, from the signage to the design of the bathroom.
Choose the right cafe interior
Just because you’ve found the right space doesn’t mean the layout is right for you. You need to distribute the workspace so that it met your ideas for the future interior design, and at the same time was convenient for the work of staff (quick access to the kitchen, cash registers, etc.). First of all, you need to determine the target audience: the status, age of visitors, their needs and expectations.
You will owe the interior of the cafe for attracting and retaining the customer during the ordering process. Undoubtedly, the quality of service and good food are also involved, but still, from the first sight of a visitor to fall in love with your institution makes it successfully created interior. Interesting and non-trivial ideas for a cafe can be found on Pinterest, by entering “cafe” and “interior” into the search box.
What’s an interior without furniture? The most important points you need to consider when choosing furniture:
- Stylistics. The furniture should fit your concept perfectly.
- Comfort. The furniture should be comfortable, both for resting visitors and for eating. If you miss at least one of these points, the client will not retain even the most skillful chef.
- Practicality. Make sure how easily the purchased furniture can be cleaned and repaired.
- Quality. You can always find budget solutions and save a little money on furniture. But be prepared, if the quality of furniture is low, then the time of replacement will come much faster.
Think of a logo and signage for your cafe
It is by looking at the signboard that a person begins to form an impression of the institution. The logo is the face of your brand, something that should be seen in the image of the institution and its overall concept. Take the creation of the logo seriously, because correcting the first impression at a later stage will be much more difficult. We recommend entrusting this to an experienced designer or studio who will offer several options so you can choose what you want to see on your signage.
“You absolutely cannot do a project without a designer. And you can’t go wrong with one either. How do you know you’ve chosen the wrong designer? You tell him what to do, ask him to play with colors, fonts, textures, and he happily draws you 128 layouts and 15 options for finishing walls. Then you choose the color of the chair together and show him where to hang the light fixture. If you’re faced with a story like this, it’s better to lose time and money now, but stop and find another person.”
