People care more about food than about nearly anything else. So when you’re in the business of feeding people a lot of things can – and do – go wrong.
There are a slew of ways that a restaurant can drop the ball in its design resulting in a space that is confusing, uncomfortable, or downright unappetizing. Some of these crappy designs stem from honest mistakes like translation errors, cultural misunderstandings, or building constraints. Other restaurant design fails are more inexcusable…like plate designs that never look clean or toilets with glass doors.
In fact, a lot of these problems involve the bathroom for some reason. As the saying goes: Don’t shit where you eat.
