Discover the allure of seafood-inspired buffet restaurants.
Whether it's the freedom of self-selection or the elegance of table-served delights, buffet restaurants always boast a dedicated serving area separate from the dining space. Depending on the style, these serving areas vary in length and size.
A well-designed buffet restaurant strikes a harmonious balance between the serving area and dining space, ensuring seamless movement for patrons as they indulge in culinary delights.
1. Explore the wonders of seafood buffet restaurant designs.
Designing seafood buffet restaurants requires careful consideration of the placement of the raw seafood preparation area and the holding tanks for live seafood. Additionally, the positioning of ventilation systems and odor extraction ensures a fresh dining environment, free from the pungent smell of raw seafood.
The central placement of the serving line is convenient, with seating areas on either side.

2. A restaurant buffet design for hotpot and barbecue
When designing a buffet hotpot and barbecue restaurant, besides arranging the line counter, special attention should be paid to the exhaust and ventilation system. Poor design can lead to a stuffy and odorous environment when cooking hotpot and barbecue dishes during peak hours.
There are generally two types of smokeless hotpot and barbecue kitchen systems: underfloor exhaust and ceiling-mounted exhaust. In terms of cost, the two types do not differ significantly. In terms of functionality, the ceiling-mounted exhaust system performs better in odor removal. However, in terms of aesthetics and convenience, the underfloor system excels.
Therefore, depending on the intended use and restaurant design style, you should consider which type to choose for your designs.
An increasing number of buffet hotpot and barbecue restaurants are opting for underfloor exhaust systems due to their aesthetic appeal and convenience for diners.
However, the ceiling-mounted exhaust system also has its own beauty if you know how to design it.
