Office Cafeteria Design Ideas

-

Since childhood, we’ve memorized designated lunch times, glancing at the clock every five minutes until freedom and food. As workers, the cafeteria is an integral part of the workplace culture, where we find respite and meet to connect and collaborate with colleagues. According to research, 91% of employees say it’s important to have a space where they can recharge. A successful work cafe does just that while providing areas to focus and socialize.

Let’s look at some ways to get an awesome workplace cafe!

Have A Spacious Service Area



A well-organized and spacious service area is essential at the food counter. There should be enough space for someone to move around with their food in hand.

A crowded space might hamper the ease of service, and lead to employees being disgruntled!

Focus On The Colours And Lighting



A comfortable and relaxing spot can do wonders to refresh the mood of your employees.
Besides providing enough space to move around and sit, choosing pleasing colours and giving a theme to your cafe can make it even more exciting.

Don’t Forget The Flooring



A slip-resistant and easy-to-maintain flooring is the right choice for your cafe. An untidy and slippery floor can make both your employees and cafe workers go crazy. We recommend that you always go for flooring options that resist dirt accumulation and are easy to clean spillages.

Make It As Interactive As Possible



To make the best use of your cafe area, you may turn it into an interactive space for employees and visitors as well.
Place a board on a section of wall, and ask your staff to write inspirational quotes or random thoughts that may urge anyone to ponder on.

Get Appropriate Furniture



It is necessary to have an adequate number of chairs and tables to accommodate as many employees as possible (keeping the previous point in mind). Moreover, choosing furniture that is flexible - or, can be easily moved about - is ideal.

Provide Sufficient Space For Mobility



There should enough space in the cafe area for employees and the staff serving food to move around. If the area is chock-a-block with too much of furniture and countless appliances, it would hardly serve the purpose of refreshment.
A smart layout is the first ingredient of a successfully designed cafe.


When attractive and chilled-out office cafe area is a win-win thing for you and your staff.

Inspiring Office Meeting Rooms Design

Creating a pleasant meeting environment and having an office design that makes everyone feel comfortable has a lot to do with the way a meeting goes and how it is perceived. Some offices have decided to give a playful twist to this particular area and the designs they now feature are some of the most inspiring you can find. The informal quick meeting We know that a high table with high chairs encourages a short meeting. One can also leave out the chairs and just stand up, which quite clearly indicates that it is only going to be a quick chat. One can certainly drink a cup of coffee or iced water while chatting. Perhaps a bit loosely and informally about a coming project, relaxed, one leans slightly over the table or in a Activity-based Working style which may even be located in an open-plan room where others are working at the same time.

If the concept of an office lounge area makes you shudder, thinking of all the work that could be piling up as employees socialize, relax! Lounge areas in the modern office are more about giving your employees the variety and choice in which to do their best work than any real lounging. Workstyle The school of thought for years was that employees needed a quiet, distraction free, and most often, separate workspace to work effectively. While it’s true that too much distraction and lack of privacy can be a barrier, employees work most effectively in a number of ways depending on their role, their individual preferences, and even their industry. In fact, that same Gensler study found that the best workplaces “provide a balanced environment that supports both collaboration and focus effectively.” What’s more, team building and collaboration are some of the highest ranked aspects in the office, ahead of individual values. In short, the 9 to 5 desk scenario can be stiflin

Merging Tech and Design for Workplace Wellness

Long gone are the days when employees sit all day in inflexible workspaces, adjusting themselves - and their needs -  to the physical conditions of the workplace. The new model for the workplace no longer fits employees into a predesigned worksite but, using technology, redesigns the worksite to fit the needs of the employee. Just like our smartphones and smartwatches, our workplaces are being reinvented to be just as smart. Smart buildings leverage big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and intelligent Building Management Systems (iBMS) to assess the physical conditions of the workplace and adjust them to meet employee needs. These tech systems facilitate and improve employee wellbeing and performance by modifying objects connected to the internet, such as light bulbs, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, office chairs and desks, coffee machines, and even whole office spaces. Smart technology collects data from these objects and generates automated and cont
