You selected Balanced. Seat and dining rates follow that finish card. The rupee range is a front-of-house furniture band, not a quote. Density looks balanced for a casual café. The lower figure is a tighter seating package. The higher figure allows more banquette or finish work. Kitchen equipment sits outside this number.

Balance covers with comfortable service

More seats do not always produce a better café. Aisles, counter queues, and dwell time matter.

01

Table mix

Combine two-tops, four-tops, and flexible tables for changing group sizes.

02

Banquettes

Wall seating can improve capacity in narrow rooms without adding chair aisles.

03

Service circulation

Protect paths between kitchen, pickup, tables, washrooms, and exit.

04

Turnover model

Fast casual and long-stay cafés need different space per cover.

Casual cafés often land near 12 to 18 sq.ft per cover including aisles; fine dining needs more. The tool flags when your inputs look tight.

Yes. Banquettes maximise wall seating in narrow shopfronts and can hide storage for service items.

No. Kitchen equipment and exhaust are specialised. We can coordinate front-of-house furniture with your kitchen vendor.

Bring your shopfront size, cover target, and service style to a consultation. We will plan banquettes, loose seats, and circulation for opening day.
