The lockdown is slowly lifting up and we are gearing towards normalcy. Humans like most mammals exhibit social behaviour. We like to gather, and interact, communicate and socialise. This pandemic has forced us to question that very nature and has forced us to do that one thing that we inherently cannot; ๐๐ค๐๐๐๐ก/ ๐ฅ๐๐ฎ๐จ๐๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ฃ๐. The Restaurant industry is suffering a major setback due to the current situation and itโs important to plan the future and the sustenance. It employs millions and is directly linked to other ancillary industries; farming, food production, logistics and many others. While internationally a lot of ideas have been proposed for restaurants having outdoor access, we at the studio decided to take up an existing indoor restaurant project as a ๐พ๐๐จ๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ช๐๐ฎ with local relevant conditions to plan design, planning and operation based SOPs with minimal interventions and cost as and when they open up.The big idea is to develop a sense of trust in customers, foster a sense of community connect and encourage transparency thus connecting with the customers to eliminate fear and feel safe. ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ will be of the utmost concern and hence, some / most of these interventions would be required to be done physically, and operationally so that the customers and the fraternity can bounce back, share ideas, feel safe emotionally and thereby reviving the industry we all love so much.

Take it as a mandate to spread awareness of ๐๐๐๐ก๐ฉ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ง๐ค๐ฉ๐ค๐๐ค๐ก๐จ, ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ratings and SOPs and complete ๐ฉ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐ฎ to promote a sense of safety and defeat fear. While kitchens are opening for Contactless deliveries to extend an in home dining experience, we are anxious to resume visiting some of our favorite restaurants and reconnect with friends and savour delectable cuisines. We have looked at these following aspects that any restaurant should include on a temporary/ permanent basis to fight the current situation.
+ Staff and customer entry
+ Health and hygiene
+ Interior layout for Physical Distancing
+ Food preparation and back of house
+ Operation ideas
+ Use of Technology/Automation/touchless
+ Cloud touchless Deliveries
+Death of shared tableware/food products/Buffets
