Your coffee shop layout is a big part of determining either or not any coffee enterprise you plan to start up can become a successful, flourishing business. In fact, it can be the disagreement in the middle of profit and loss.
While you might be mental about the economics of your coffee shop layout, you also want to be mental ergonomics for staff and customers alike!
Coffee
Ergonomics is the study of human movement and interaction with machines. Fantasize a coffee shop layout where those in a queue are constantly having to move and re-adjust as citizen trying to sit down with their drinks shuffle through and around them, carrying laptops and bags. It will be awkward and uncomfortable for those in the queue and those who want to determine down and enjoy the ambience of your shop. I have been in places like this - I wasn't keen to return. One of the keys to flourishing coffee shop layouts is something that can filter your customers to where they want to go quickly, certainly and comfortably.
Something similar also applies for your workplace for staff. If staff must move and be at pains not to bump into one someone else you are increasing their stress and decreasing how efficiently and quickly they can serve and sell. This kind of coffee shop layout is guaranteed to limit your earning potential!
Finally, tables and chairs are also a challenge. While you want something that fits in with your total make concept, you also want something that allows citizen to feel they have their own personal space, where they can breathe out and relax a little. Again, think about how you can funnel citizen and avoid that "bumping into" factor.
If you are mental about coffee shop layouts, bear these factors in mind and you will avoid some very basic mistakes that will damage your lowest line.
