Not Just Design & Build.
Designing and building a restaurant in a Singapore mall requires careful consideration of various factors to ensure success. Having partnered with MallSpacesAsia, IW Design Studio has learned and adapted their design and understanding of unique mall requirements and optimizing the best recommendations for their customers.
The following are 18 key considerations Ivan and his team considers when designing and building your space:
Understand and comply with the specific regulations and guidelines set by the mall management regarding design, construction, and operation.
Optimize the use of space for both the dining area and kitchen. Ensure efficient flow for both customers and staff.
Design an aesthetically pleasing interior that aligns with your brand and attracts the target customer demographic.
Ensure the restaurant is easily accessible, considering factors like ramps and elevators for customers with disabilities.
Obtain all necessary permits and approvals from local authorities and the mall management before construction begins.
Design an efficient kitchen layout to streamline food preparation and service, considering the menu and expected customer volume.
Integrate modern technologies for point-of-sale systems, reservations, and online ordering to enhance customer experience and streamline operations.
Ensure compliance with health and safety standards, including proper ventilation, sanitation facilities, and fire safety measures.
Choose furniture and decor that not only enhances the ambiance but also aligns with the overall theme and branding of the restaurant.
Maintain or enhance your restaurant’s brand identity through consistent design elements, color schemes, and decor choices.
Determine the optimal seating capacity based on the space available, ensuring a balance between maximizing customers and providing a comfortable dining experience.
Consider acoustics to create a pleasant dining environment. Incorporate materials that absorb sound to minimize noise levels.
Plan lighting carefully to create the right ambiance. Consider natural light during the day and ambient lighting for evenings.
Develop a waste management plan, including recycling and disposal, in compliance with mall regulations.
Design staff areas, service stations, and storage spaces to enhance operational efficiency and service quality.
Ensure clear and attractive signage for visibility within the mall. Consider how your restaurant will stand out among neighboring establishments.
Plan for a smooth customer flow from entrance to exit, minimizing congestion and creating a positive experience.
Consider sustainable practices in design and operations, aligning with growing environmental awareness.
By addressing these factors, you can create a restaurant in a Singapore mall that not only meets regulatory requirements but also provides an inviting and efficient dining experience for your customers.
