|
Kitchen, Cooking, Storage, Preparation, etc.
|
40%
|
|
|
SUGGESTED sq-feet/person FOR

16 -18 sq-feet
|

12 - 15 sq-feet
|

|

15 - 18 sq-feet
|
Banquet (minimum) |
10 - 11 sq-feet
|
When originating space requirements, anticipate that Banquet
seating may use as little as 10 sq-feet for person. A good average for restaurants or coffee shops will general
menus is about 10 sq-feet for person. This will provide for traffic aisles, wait stations, etc.
The traffic path between occupied chairs should be at least 18
inches.
In determining the length for a bar, allow 1'8" -1'10"
for a person (standup) or 2' per bar stool.
