What is It

• Lighting: Daylight or bright lighting is preferred for daytime meal services.
Subdued light is more appropriate for evening dining. Candlelight can
enhance the mood for evening dining but should not be used for daytime
events. The lighting level is crucial in setting a comfortable feel. The
lighting must be dim enough to create an intimate and inviting feel, but not
so dim as to interfere with a guest’s ability to easily read the menu.
• Views: tables should be set to take best advantage of the views from
dining room, which is subject to the limitations of space.
• Communication: Let the staff know why the restaurant is designed the
way it is. For example, some are known for its chalkboards, famous quotes
on the walls, and classic rock music. The team must know that the
chalkboards are there as a tool to communicate food and drink features and
special events, the quotes convey the message of fun and irreverent
attitude, and the music is create an upbeat and comfortable atmosphere.
• Measure the dimensions of the room and draw a sketch of the space on
grid paper, using a scale. This planning is useful because of relative
inflexibility of furniture arrangement in a dining room. The chairs need to
be drawn up to the table, and this configuration dominates the room.
• Assess the position of your planned seating arrangement and the location
of the windows, to prevent glare in the eyes of people seated at the
table. Even if the dining room is used mostly for entertainment, this can
be a factor in the seating arrangement for weekend luncheons or Sunday
brunch.
• Walk through the mechanics of serving a meal from kitchen to dining
room. This will help you decide where to put serving or storage cabinets,
so that you do not have to maneuver around the chairs to the far end of
the table in order to set down a heavy platter or other serving dish.
FURNITURE ARRANGEMENT
• Place the bulkiest piece of furniture first. While this may violate the
classic vision of a table centered under a lighting fixture, it allows for
a more efficient use of the remaining floor space than centering the
table and then expecting to tuck other furniture pieces against the
walls.
• Put regularly empty chairs against the walls, in the corners or even in
another room. Guests will feel less hemmed in if there is no empty
extra chair next to them. The meal will seem more complete without
empty places at the table.
6
• Incorporating a bench seats a flexible number of people, especially
children, and may be the perfect solution for available seats if an
unexpected guest comes along.
• Replace your square or rectangular table with an oval round table that
can be enlarged with leaves. The absence of sharp corners increases
place setting space and lets you include more people at the table.
Placing Accessories
• Use painting, mirrors and other size dependent items strategically
• Size rugs carefully
• Use high curtains
• Use symmetry
7
Ambient Sound
There are customers who are not in the restaurant to listen to music,
so it is better to play classical music. It is effective in creating a positive
mood.
An ambient sound will create a positive image of your restaurant and
customers will truly have the best dining experience.
Whatever your music selection is, always play it softly. It should be suited
to the setting and theme of the restaurant. On one hand, it should not be
too soft that it can barely be heard and thus fail to set the mood intended.
On the other hand, with very loud music, customers will not be able to
converse easily. They may need to shout for them to be heard. Hence,
the music should neither be too loud nor too soft for a conducive dining
experience.

• To remove allergens, in particular dust.
• To prevent wear on the surface (e.g. by using a floor wax or protective
sealant).
• To make the environment sanitaryeven in the kitchen.
• To maintain an optimum traction such as for dance floor.
Sawdust is used on some floors to absord any liquids that fall. The
sawdust is swept up and replaced each day. This was common practice in
pubs in the past and is still used in some butchers and fishmongers.
9
Wood Flooring should be treated completely
Be sure to ring out the mop thoroughly before using it on the floor.
Run the mop back and forth, going with the grain of the wood in
smooth strokes. If your floors are lacquered or shellacked, do not
use water. Using soap can stain the wood and cause buckling.
Buff the floor with a soft cloth to remove any soapy residue. Cloth
diapers work well for buffing because they are very soft and
absorbent.
10
Nowadays, many modern kitchens, stairs and bathrooms have tile
flooring that can be cleaned in three simple steps:
• Have a floor cleaning solution or spray bottle for the appropriate floor. If
you are cleaning stone floors such as those made from marble, granite,
travertine, etc., make sure the cleaning agent states that it is for stones.
An acidic tile cleaning solution can be used on ceramic and porcelain
floors.
• After spraying the tile or stone floors in small area, use a mop to clean and
scrub the floors.
Properly cleaned and maintained carpets will last twice as long. Learn the
effective strategies for keeping a carpet looking new and fresh for years.
Strategies:
1. Remove dirt. Dirt is like thousands of little blades that cut carpet fibers.
• Set the vacuum at the right height.
• Vacuum often to protect carpet.
• Start with a clean bag or filter.
• Vacuum at a high speed
• Use walk-off mats
11
1. Clean stains right away
• Do not dig or scoop food spills. Digging or scooping can stain the carpet.
If there are solids on top of the stain, use a spoon or dull knife to carefully
scrape the food toward the middle of the spill and into a white towel and
then treat the stain.
• Remove the stain immediately.
• Try water first, 80% of stains can BE removed using plain water.
• Do not rub or scrub. Scrubbing a stain will damage the fibers and create
fuzzy area. Be patient. Work water gently into the spill and then blot with
a dry cloth. If you are patient, you will almost always be able to remove
the stain. On tough spots, try vinegar or club soda. If water does not
work, try a white vinegar and water solution with eaqual amounts of club
soda before trying commercial cleaning products. Test commercial
product first. Some products
can cause carpet to accumulate dirty faster or can damage the carpet’s
color and texture.

sufficient to beat the heat. So the higher the area to be ventilated, the
greater HP is needed.
Keep in mind that air conditioners are meaured using the Energy Efficiency
Ratio (EER). The higher the EER, the more efficient the unit is. Each increase
of 1.0 EER is equivalent to 10% in energy efficiency. So the highest EER
proviodes extreme cooling capacity. If you want to know more about EER
details, it is usually found on Energy Guide of the unit you want to purchase.
The comfort of our guest is a key element during their stay or during dinner.
Ensuring a high degree of environmental well being should be one of the main
goals. The real challenge is to meet this need with an air conditioning system
that is reliable and is energy efficient.
