Restaurant Safety • Help develop work procedures that recognize safety concerns. • Train employees to use safe work procedures. • Conduct continuous inspection of food service areas to ensure that the equipment & facilities lend themselves to safe work practices. • Complete accident reports, assist in accident investigations, and do all that is necessary to quickly correct problems causing accidents. • Seek medical assistance to injured employees & guest, &, if qualified, administer first aid. • Report needed repairs, maintenance, changes in work procedures, or other conditions which can potentially cause accidents. • Regularly conduct schedule safety meetings & other programmes for dining service staff.

Checklist for Effective Design • Completed dining area must have a proper appeal & ambience. • A minimal investment for dining service is made. • A maximum return on the investment in space is realized. • There is a practical layout to ensure an efficient flow of guests, employees, food products & equipments with dining areas. • Simplified procedures for performing required task is possible. • Dining areas provide safe work space for employees & public access space for guests. • Dining areas adhere to the high sanitation standard which the property requires. • Design provides guests with the ‘comfort zone’ they desire.

Designing Tips  Avoid too much distance from the service counter & customer. • Too vast menu causes delays on the part of customers in making his selections.  Ensure proper sizes & positioning of service stations.  Lighting that falls on the ceiling makes spaces look larger.  Use of glass panels, mirrors, paintings with a deep perspective or sceneries on walls which suggest to the viewer something distant.  A lighted wall panel gives a feeling of spaciousness.  By using cool, light colors on walls, floors, ceilings, furniture, etc or colors that blend well practically no contrast or pattern. • Clear plastic or glass tops of tables through which floors are visible make them appear larger instead of being cut into small segments with piece of furniture.
