Vastu Tips For Restaurants
Ground floor would be apt for the reception
and restaurant purposes.
It is always better to have the main entrance
of a restaurant in east, north or northeast directions. If it
is to be planned in the west, it should be towards northwest,
but not in the southwest corner on any condition.
The storeroom for a restaurant should be
built in the southwest.
Installation of AC plant should be preferably
in the southeast.
Generator, transformer and other electrical
installations should also be placed in the southeast corner.
Washbasin area should be in the northeast.
Washbasins should never be kept in the center of the
restaurant, even for the sake of convenience.
Landscaping and fountains or artificial water
falls can be constructed in the northeast, north or east of
the entire site.
According to Vastu experts, kitchen is
considered to be the most sensitive region for the restaurant
business. If the placement of the kitchen cannot be done in
the southeast direction (the best), it should be placed in the
north-west.
There must be adequate provision for light,
ventilation and a large open space for the kitchen.
Large open ground, lawn and space for
organizing conferences etc. should be maintained in the open.
The wall color should be mild and soothing to
the eyes. Glossy or dark colors should not be used. Soothing
colors will positively affect the temperament and behavior of
the customer. The happy and satisfied customer is a potential
advertiser for a restaurant. Nothing else works like the 'word
of mouth'.
The staff at reception counter should not
face south or west direction. They should, rather, face north
or east direction. This will help give them a positive
attitude, which will lead to good rapport with customers.
Restaurants should not have a round top, as
it brings in losses.
