Need help with coffee shop layout

[java_fan]

I gotta prepare a layout for the coffee shop. I need to include the following:

Along with coffee, this store would be selling baked goods with the exception of donuts. There is no drive-through and the type of customers expected at this store would be walk-in. The customers will not be in a rush to leave and there will also be gifts and magazines available for sale.

A basic rough idea of where to place each section or item would be helpful. This would include tables and chairs, cash registers, possibly a line for customers to make phone calls, space for storage, and other displays.

I also need to include washrooms and other necessary sections at a coffee store.

Ergonomic design is very important for your cafe to operate well.

There are design and equipment placement examples for a 1000 sq. ft. coffee house and a 2000+ sq. ft. coffee house in Bean Business Basics ... These are very detailed and include everything from your pastry cases, refrigeration, washrooms, and even furniture layout ideas.

Often people will hire a company to do their design for them, or at least put a second set of eyes on them ... but if you are looking for a way to get a good rough idea this may be the way to go.

I think that Cafe Design by Pegler has some overhead plans, but they are not as detailed as far as equipment goes, more for interior design ...

Good Luck!

Where can I find Cafe Design by Pegler?

You can find his books here: http://www.espresso101.com/catalog/coffee-book ... scroll down mid page.

He has Cafe Design 1 and 2 as well as Cafe's and Coffeeshops 1 and 2, again these are mainly for interior design ...
