Predictions on post-pandemic restaurant design. It’s time to rethink restaurant design.
Restaurants will be back, but they won’t look the same as they did pre-pandemic, and that is obviously a good thing. Safe distance table layout. Designated takeout counter space and entrance. Safe open kitchen layouts for customers and employees. Sanitary antimicrobial linens. One time use menus. Smarter with less space. These are all the “new world” ways of thinking about design planning for a restaurant moving forward into today’s new normal. The old, wide open, large dining rooms, 50+ table sections, community bar tables, are now a thing of the past. Which likely seems odd to read. As much as we love this atmosphere, this will not be available anymore in a post pandemic social distancing world. Our children will grow up not knowing how it used to be. Moving forward we will appreciate the experience of going out to eat and enjoying the smaller intimate connection with the restaurant. It will become an event rather than a necessity. More than ever each aspect of the dining experience will be noticed, especially the ambiance and style. An estimated 1 out of 5 restaurants will be permanently closed due to COVID-19 (read full Business Insider article). Once we learn more about COVID-19 and find a way to live and survive alongside it, restaurants will start to open up again in time. Unfortunately, the restaurants that closed will not open up as they once were. To operate, they will need to pivot and readjust their business plan. If they don’t, they will not survive another pandemic in the future. This is their opportunity to rebuild stronger by becoming a recession and pandemic proof operation. The restaurants that will survive COVID-19 are the restaurants that adjusted quickly and provided new innovative services.- Improved takeout packaging
