Okay, the relocating the sink tip alone was worth the video. I design custom homes, so examining floor plans like this is nerd heaven for me 😍

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

😂 glad you could nerd out. We come across so many issue from designers who stay in the office their whole life. Only to make a design that will never be practical

Thank you so much, I really understood the whole thing that you explained. I'm in the second year and our first commercial project is design a cafe so i loved how you first explained about the functionality and flow which are one of the important aspects. I just wanted to ask that where should we place the plates and mugs that we are going to use to serve the food and coffee?

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Hello, so the mugs would normally sit on the top of the coffee machine to pre heat. The mug saucers would be in a stack on the bench where the barista has finished pouring. The food plates are in the kitchen near the food pass. 👍🏻

I feel like the layout at 8:33 may have customers clogged in one area between ordering and picking up if there is a rush.

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

this is the design the cafe has adopted, they currently to 40kg of coffee per week, they find as they have space out side in a little court yard the customers have space to wait. they are very happy with the workflow from the constraints they had to work with.

[@boblagasse7971]

In the best workflow plan you have the grinder on the left, is that ok for workflow?, as I've seen grinders mostly on the right. Thanks.

[@xxcarolxannexx]

I’m working at a cafe right now and clearly the previous owners didn’t think this layout through. When it’s busy, as I’m making drinks I’m bumping into the person making sandwiches because they crammed everything in the corner

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Damm, that’s never fun.

[@rehabbrada4841]

amazing bro

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Thanks👍🏻

[@edgunawan]

Nice

[@haydens2831]

Great video very helpful taken alot of info out of it got me thinking I reckon you could improve on the design as well move the display in the corner as customers come in they see the food straight away and the display is angled in the corner, put the coffee machine where the display is and switch the pick up and order taking around put the kitchen sink at the end like you said sandwich press where coffee machine is and you just gained all of the bench space from the corner to the sink which you could display coffee or other product or work space, and get the employee getting food take the coffee orders so then there is no crossing over or if the coffee person does take orders they will only cross over when taking orders and dropping food off loved how you got me thinking about this thanks :) this is about the second design.

[@captainkaizo3824]

What about menu ? I want to become a barista. But i don know anything about cafe or coffee. Ive never been to Starbucks or any other cafe. I don know anything about that coffee machine or type of cofee drink. What should i do ? Where i can learn about all this stuff ? Please help me

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Firstly, welcome to the start of your coffee journey. i would suggest a formal training program if your looking to one day own a cafe. this is a foundation that will help you run the business, deal with customers and manage staff. Form there a specific barista course would help you get the basics. If you can get a hole espresso machine it will help you practise then try and get a job in the industry. Watch a lot of KZbin, you will fond a lot of content here to help you progress. Good Luck 👍
