Goal 2.02

 designed so employees can do their job efficiently  designed so customers can enjoy their dining experience without distraction 1. Balance 2. Menu 3. Turnover rate 4. Traffic Paths 5. Bypassing 6. Production space 7. Layout of work areas

 dividing space to meet the customer’s and preparation staff’s needs  maximum number of tables in dining area but also need a kitchen big enough to serve all the customers efficiently

 menu design- most important  need appropriate equipment, storage space, and work surface to make all menu items

 average number of times a seat will be occupied during a block of time  ex: the average customer takes 20 minutes for breakfast so adding in the time to prep the table in between customers the turnover rate is 2 ½ times per hour.  higher turnover=more tables close together+extra staff to take care of all the tables

 how people and materials move within a foodservice operation  balance between keeping traffic paths to a minimum but make them wide enough for movement of equipment and people  do not want to waste space

 happens when people or materials must walk or be moved past unrelated stations during foodservice  work stations need to be laid out in a logical sequence  keep to a minimum  cut vegetables then passed to be grilled should not pass through the baking station (interrupts the workflow)

 amount of space allowed for food production  depends on the type and size of the facility  must be divided into necessary areas (storage, food prep, dishwashing, etc)

 designed to limit necessary movement of people and goods  saves time, money, and energy  easy maintenance and inventory access  safe and productive environment  flexible work process  protect equipment from damage
