Ideal Restaurant Layout
Keep the overall shape regular and the North-East open. Heavy storage and cold rooms suit South/West, while public dining should feel bright and easy to navigate.
- Prefer a North or East facing main entrance for customers.
- Keep the kitchen in the South-East; North-West is the next option.
- Avoid toilets in the North-East or at the exact center.
- Do not place the kitchen door facing the toilet door.

Restaurant Vastu Tips
- Use warm, appetizing colors in dining areas; keep kitchen colors energetic (yellow/orange/red tones).
- Play soft lighting near the entrance and brighter light over food prep zones.
- Keep the menu board and display clean; avoid broken décor or dead plants.

- Owner/manager seating facing North or East supports clearer supervision.
