    Restaurants are meant for eating of course, but along with the good food you serve, a customer would be expecting many more. A restaurant should be a place where one can pacify himself/herself. In today's world people need relaxation. The designing of a restaurant mainly depends on the kind of food you are planning to serve. Just identify the type of food planning to serve.
