The restaurant will be offering the Japanese cuisine. It will also provide the typical food offered in Japan which resembles the home cooked meal by a mother. The restaurant will also offer its customers alcohol beverages. The restaurant will be located independently in the property within the suburban region.
Since it will be serving alcohol to passersby and motorists, it will be located in an open place, preferably along a road. The seats in the restaurant will have 50 seats, tables for four clients, 5 tables or counter tables for two people, and 2 tables for 10 people each. As the owner, I expect the overall turnover to be at least being one hundred and forty Yen during the opening day. The restaurant should close by 4.30 pm in the evening.
Layout of the bar and reception
The reception area in a restaurant plays a very important role because this is the place where customers make their fort stop to make enquiries. It will include a tray dispenser, some posters briefly describing the services offered by the restaurant, and a nice vantage point for the customers to view the scenery.
Through the reception, the customers know where to go and what to buy. The utensils and napkins should be dispensed near the serving area. The customers must be able to move quickly through the reception area and as such, it should have ample space. It will also have large and wall mounted monitors displaying the daily specialties of the day available there.
