Hello! I am Kondo from the Balboa studio staff.
Are you worried about the store design of a ramen shop?
Layout is important when considering the store design of a ramen shop.
So, this time, I would like to introduce the store design of a ramen shop.
Please refer to it.

How to be the best ramen shop!!

There are thousand ramen industries in recent years.
Of course, taste is important, but if you pursue deliciousness and neglect other things, it can be difficult to survive in the ramen industry.

Therefore, what is important is a service with a sense of speed.
If there is not particular difference in taste and price, many people choose a shop that waits for a long time or a shop that has ramen soon, and a shop that has ramen immediately.
And, to realize a service with a sense of speed, it is important to stick to the interior.
I am sure some of you are thinking of narrowing the kitchen and increasing the number of seats.
However, narrowing the kitchen reduces work efficiency and may keep customers waiting.
Therefore, it is good to design the interior of the store so that the service can be performed efficiently.

The layout of the counter and open concept kitchen is important for the interior design

So far, we have introduced that it is important to stick to the layout of the interior to provide a service with a sense of speed.
Then, what layout should we be particular about?
I will explain below.
First, let us stick to the layout of the counter.
Counter seats place in lot of ramen shops.
Also, in some small shops, only counter seats are installed.
There is a reason for having counter seats.
The first reason is that the flow line is minimized.
The flow line of a ramen shop is the flow of serving ramen and cleaning up empty plates.
The counter seats have the effect of minimizing that movement.
The second reason is the efficient use of space.
Efficient use of space is important for providing services with a sense of speed.
Counter seats require minimal space, making it easier for even a single customer to attract customers.
In addition, the layout of the open concept kitchen is important.
Lot of ramen shops have open kitchens to visually appeal to customers.
However, in the case of an open kitchen, steam and smoke can be easily transmitted to customers, so make sure to lay out a layout that allows sufficient ventilation.

In summary

In this article, I introduced the store design of a ramen shop.
To survive in the ramen industry, pay attention not only to the taste but also to the interior.
The layout of the counter and open kitchen is important for the interior of the ramen shop.
