Cafe/Cafeteria Planning

As vital campus areas, cafés and cafeterias must meet a wide range of functions. Wherever food is served or available, you need to focus on ambiance and efficiency. From casual to upscale, from high-capacity food service to more intimate settings, even for serve-yourself venues, the atmosphere created is essential to success. Create the desired dining experience by harmonizing the menu, furnishings, food quality and level of service. In addition to being places to dine and socialize, cafes and cafeterias make highly visible contributions to an institution’s public image. They are also an important campus revenue source.

KI has set the standard for tables and chairs for cafe and cafeteria use. Some factors to consider during planning are: available square footage, capacity, ambiance and theme, customer turnover rate, plus WiFi and power access. Contact your KI rep for dining solutions that are efficient, durable and beautiful.
