Study Notes
Space Analysis Overview
- Space analysis involves evaluating various functional areas in foodservice for optimal design and functionality.
- Key functional areas analyzed: Receiving, Storage, Office, Pre-preparation, Final Preparation, Bakery, Employee locker room, Service areas, Dining, Bar, and Ware washing.
Purpose of Space Analysis
- Serves as a reference guide for space requirement specifications and relationships among foodservice areas.
- Details include general descriptions, spatial relationships, spatial needs, and unique design features for functional areas.
Receiving Area
- General description includes delivery and inspection of goods.
- Must have access to storage areas and vehicle delivery routes, as well as proximity to preparation areas.
Pre-Preparation Area
- Required size for a small restaurant is approximately 225 square feet to accommodate necessary pre-preparation activities.
Final (Hot Food) Preparation
- Involves cooking processes such as frying, steaming, and grilling, typically aligned with meal service schedules.
- Requires direct links to pre-preparation and storage areas for optimal workflow.
Employee Locker Room & Toilet
- Provides restrooms and secure storage for employees, designed to be separate from main functional areas.
Baking Area
- Size of about 166 square feet is suitable for producing various baked goods.
- Should include access to pre-preparation and storage spaces; proximity to customers can boost sales.
Service Area
- Design varies based on the foodservice concept (e.g., fast food, table service).
- Adjacent to final preparation and ware washing areas to facilitate smooth operations.
Dining Area
- Space requirements depend on anticipated guest volume and seating turnover rates.
- Turnover rates for dining concepts range from 0.5–3.5 guests per hour, affecting seat count and layout.
Bar Area
- Serves spirits, beer, and wine, typically positioned near customer reception.
- Size recommendations increase with restaurant seating; for instance, a 100-seat dining room requires a bar space of 240 square feet.
Ware Washing
- Space needed is dictated by the volume of dishes washed hourly and the type of dish machine used; single-tank dishwashers require about 250 square feet, while flight-type conveyors need up to 700 square feet.
- Efficient workflow is important, linking ware washing with final preparation and service areas.
Size Examples
- Various functional areas such as a hot food preparation area need around 300 square feet for efficient cooking tasks.
- A small dish room setup might only require about 175 square feet, while larger operations can exceed 500 square feet based on dishwashing capacity.
