When it comes to designing theme restaurants, a designer and consultant can dovetail the layout with décor in order to bring the underlying theme centre stage. A vision is needed which should be shared by the owner, the designer and architect for the final acceptability by the guest. Some tips on how to go about it and what to remember while doing so.
Planning
After providing space for basic essential back-up facilities for kitchen & engineering services. A ratio has to be planned between the area required for kitchen and restaurant.
This is determined according to the concept and cuisine of the restaurant. Area required for Indian, Chinese, Multicuisine Fine Dining, Multi-cuisine Fast Food Restaurant or any other speciality restaurant would all be different.
Having firmed up the area required of the kitchen, the location should be ideally on the opposite side of the entrance with a rear approach/access for services and staff entrance/exit.
Restaurant Plan & Design
First requirement is to consider a concept that has to be fitted into an existing site. One needs to consider all existing elements that would reciprocate to the design requirement.
Visual Form: The concept once realised, should be transformed into reality, by taking the existing situation and all elements to the advantage. Few Hindrances which disturbs the overall arrangement may be modified or eliminated, if necessary. (in consultation with an appropriate engineering expert).
Having got the site to design/ plan, it may be worth noticing the surroundings that could in any way directly or indirectly, functionally or visually give any enhancement to the quality of design.

Healthy Food - An Attempt to Meet Diners' Desire
Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2015, was about "Good Health and Well-being". This could be said to be an eye-opener and the source of making people aware of maintaining their health, which became more pronounced due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Consuming healthy food, since then, has become a significant - if not imperative - element in lives of almost everyone. And this healthy and nutritious food is also playing a significant role in the success of restaurants. Diners are now becoming more particular about the food they consume, making the F&B outlets offer a diverse and appealing menu of healthy food options. Ashok Malkani tries to evaluate how the restaurants and chefs are meeting this desire for nutritious food by customers and what are some of the healthy food options.
