Instruction manual

1

Decide on the choice of premises. For the dining room, it should consist of a rather large hall, a kitchen that involves zoning in the cold, hot, pastry shops, as well as all the necessary additional areas. It is also important to consider a sufficient number of utility rooms and an office. As for the location, when you open the dining room, you need to look for a room in a zone with high traffic, as well as the presence of institutions (universities, business centers, etc.) that are ready to supply anchor customers.

2

Find out if there is enough power in the future dining room. If the room is located in the city center, there is a high risk of electricity restriction. For the catering, this is one of the most important issues, solve it at the very early stage of the design of the dining room. When difficulties arise with electricity, it is worthwhile to consider the operation of thermal equipment using gas, for which you will have to draw up and register a so-called “gas project”. It is not cheap and, moreover, takes a lot of time, but in the process of operating thermal equipment will be very profitable.

3

Calculate the required number of cold rooms. Remember that they must be of different temperatures: freezing chests, refrigerators with a minus zone for fresh fish and meat, refrigerators for ready meals with zero and plus zones. If your dining room provides for its confectionery industry, this should also be taken into account when drawing up the specification of refrigeration equipment.

4

Make a list of the necessary electrical, electromechanical and mechanical equipment. This may include all kinds of mixers, blenders, combines, graters, shredders, etc. If you open a dining room without a chef, but plan to attract it in the future, analyze the menu of institutions of a similar format. Having an idea of ​​the dishes you want to see in your future menu, it will be easier to guess what kind of equipment you need.

5

Choose a distribution line, as well as tables and chairs for the hall. If the first should be chosen according to functionality, then the furniture - depending on the general idea of ​​the design of the dining room. In any case, rectangular tables are preferable to round ones, and hard chairs will ultimately be more appropriate than soft ones. The reason is simple: you, as the owner, are more interested in frequent turnover of seats, rather than in long gatherings over one teapot of tea.

note

If you ignore the requirements put forward by the CPS and the Fire Inspectorate, you can lose not only time, but also money.

Useful advice

Before contacting the equipment supplier, it is advisable to present the menu on which the dining room will work. It directly depends on what exactly and to what extent you will need.
