- A useful starting point for
- A casual restaurant testing shared dining or larger parties.
- Geometry in this study
- 4 straight booth modules · 2 tables · inches in the editor. The study uses a 25-inch booth footprint and a 2-inch tabletop overlap at the front edge. Confirm actual seat and back profiles, table height, base placement and entry space together.
- The tradeoff to test
- Large tables can limit small-party flexibility. Review the real party mix and whether the tables should separate.
Your changes stay in this browser until you save or share through the planner. This opens a separate copy and preserves your ordinary planner draft. It does not create a shared live project automatically.
Turn this study into your measured plan.
- Measure your room, fixed obstructions, door swings and actual furniture.
- Open the editable copy. Move, rotate or resize the booths and tables for your space.
- Add the missing service and loose-seating information. Have accessibility, circulation and egress reviewed for the site.
- Save your layout in the planner, select physical upholstery samples and request a scope review.
