"Inside the Hidden World of Restaurant Design" from D Magazine of Dallas

Dallas is home to three restaurant design firms that have extensive experience designing restaurant spaces and branding that result in profits for their owners. Many designers go for a great look without factoring in the need for the space to create sufficient revenue. This caveat equally applies to craft breweries, tasting rooms, brewpubs, tap rooms, and restaurants.
Focusing on how the customers will react to the design is paramount.
Thank you D Magazine.
