How spacious your restaurant will feel, how claustrophobic it will get during rush hours, and how comfortable it will be to walk around without bumping into people or crashing into tables, all of this is dependent on the restaurant layout. It makes no sense for your joint to be beautiful if your servers cannot serve well, and customers cannot feel comfortable in their own space. Service stations though not in vogue these days, are best located where the customer footfall will be minimum, like the exact center of the restaurant. Install a service station or a reservation desk at the entrance only if it is big enough; otherwise, it will crown the door.
