How To Design Comfortable Corporate Cafeterias

Is the office looking a bit outdated? If yes, it is time to renovate the office space. One space in particular you should not overlook is the corporate cafeteria.

This article will provide you tips on designing a highly functional and comfortable corporate cafeteria for clients and employees alike.

Ideally, a Corporate Cafeteria is designed to provide a comfortable space for employees and clients to enjoy refreshments, relaxation and casual conversation within an office setting. A Corporate Cafeteria should also serve as designated area for the company to connect with potential clients and customers on a personal level.

It is important to keep your corporate cafeteria as modern as possible because the corporate cafeteria can reveal plenty about your office operations and business culture, from how well you treat your employees to the quality of customer service you provide to your clients.

Remember, first impressions are lasting impressions.

If you want to make a good impression on your customers, clients and workers, your corporate cafeteria should go well beyond adequate accommodations. It should be a fabulous refreshment area from floor to ceiling.

Here are ways you can design your corporate cafeteria to make it effectively increase your business brand’s credibility and reputability:

  1. Use Warm Colors for the Interior Design. The basic function of a corporate cafeteria is to provide a place where people can relax and enjoy a meal. It should allow for a mental break from the workplace that allows staff to feel revitalized and ready for the second half of the day or to get their day off to a good start.  Studies have revealed that warm colors of yellow, red, orange and green increase appetites and refresh minds to energize employees for afternoon labor.
  2. Purchase Comfortable And Simple Cafeteria Furniture Items. Furniture lines that feature fiber, plastic and metal components are highly recommended for cafeterias because they are low maintenance and comfortable. This simplicity and comfort should be top priority when purchasing cafeteria seating and tables.  There are plenty of great looking, yet simple lines of hospitality furnishings that can help you to achieve this goal.
  3. Keep Hygiene in Mind. For example, the cafeteria should have modern garbage disposals, washing areas and sturdy countertops that make removing grit an easy task.
  4. Use Wall Space Decorations to Motivate your Employees’ Creativity. This can be accomplished by posting artwork and pictures of outstanding world leads, inspirational quotes and moral murals. Also, it is highly recommended that a recreational area in the cafeteria be provided for employees to play board games and read books.  You might also consider a quiet room where staff can take 10 or 15 minutes to decompress.
