1 5 2 FEATURE CFR highlights the various ways industry suppliers have helped to develop exceptional restaurant experiences Delivering high-quality dining areas Alan McVitty, Founder and CEO, M Studio “When designing a dining venue, M Studio considers how to create a harmonious experience for both the guests and those operating the space. It is key for diners to enjoy the experience in this space and that service also appears effortless. We consider individuals, couples and groups, taking into account where tables are placed and the proximity of diners to one another. In addition, we also think about the noise levels, the comfort of the seats, lighting, waiter stations, material selection and the flow within the space. M Studio selects products that are fit for purpose, aesthetically pleasing to the guest, and durable for the operator ’s peace of mind.” “Whether it is a fast-food or fine dining venue, the most important factor for any type of restaurant is to make the client ’s branding visible and perceptible to guests. At Steen Friis Design, we do this by designing the restaurant interior to reflect and communicate the intended narrative and gastronomic experience, ensuring that the design engages the guests and activates their five senses. To achieve this, we must consider many underlying elements, such as creating a seamless flow and optimising acoustics. Each element is equally important and plays a role in tailormaking a successful restaurant and a memorable dining experience.” Bente Medelbye Hansen, Design Director, Steen Friis Design
