This will involve detailed analysis of current traffic patterns and operational bottlenecks, followed by strategic design improvements.
-
Selecting a Reflective Color Palette: Develop a color scheme that embodies the café's brand colors—earth tones accented with rich, deep greens and blues—to elevate the mood and complement the overall design theme. The chosen palette will enhance the brand's identity and be applied in ways that psychologically boost customer satisfaction and comfort.
-
Incorporating Ergonomic and Stylish Furniture: Select furniture that not only aligns with the modern-rustic aesthetic of the café but also supports ergonomic health and comfort for both customers and staff. This includes custom-built wooden tables, comfortable yet stylish seating options, and functional staff workstations that enhance productivity.
