RESTAURANTS / HOTELS Part II:



RESTAURANTS / HOTELS  Part II:

                                                       
Have anyone ever noticed that two restaurants of same geographical nature, similar directions, similar outer and interiors and same type of constructions, even then one is very busy and full of customers and the other is not even get the minimum customers. Why is it so? If analyzes it minutely we will find that in construction, renovation and interior and exterior designing, taking the advantage of natures five elements (Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal) in the form of Vastu, Feng Shui and Pyramidology. They produce the energies and make the differences.
 
Where / how to concentrate:
Following are some of the main points which one should and must take care of for healthy business.
1.        
      Main board of Restaurant, color contrast, design, font and placing
First and foremost thing to be noticed of a business is its display board. What is written on, so the main board should be in contrast with the business? If the board is made with the help of Vastu and Feng Shui rules, it will attract the customers with its energy. The board must comply with the five elements (Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal). Vastu and Feng Shui make the difference here.
2.     
            Main entrance
Entrance of hotel or restaurant is very importan. This is the mouth of Qi (energy). The positive entrance will bring fame and prosperity quickly and easily. North, Northeast and East is the best directions, it does not mean that the others should not be chosen. There are so many remedies for those directions, while applying the remedies the results will be the same and business can flourish.
3.    
             Reception
As soon as one enters the hotel or restaurant, first sight will be reception. Main business depends on it. Try to create such a style that receptionist should and must have face towards North, East or Northeast.
It should be at some distance from the main door. Computers, telephones, tablets etc should be on left. Proper lighting should be there. No extra paper and sharp material (Pins, Blade, and Knife etc) be on table.
Some water body should be placed near reception, as water means wealth.
4.     
              Kitchen
Kitchen’s location is as important as cashier’s. The food prepared at correct location will taste better. This will become the plus point and attract more clients.
First choice should be South/SSW and if not possible then second choice will be Southeast. The kitchen should always be far away from the sight of customers.
Try to face north or east while preparing food. Kitchen should always be clean and clutter free.
Raw material and spices should be placed in Northwest corner of kitchen.
5.      
             Menu color and contrast
Much has been written on menu in next blog named “Menu Restaurant / Hotel”.
Even I must say that menu should be prepared with the help of Vastu, Feng Shui and Pyramidology.
Background color, font, ink color, placing etc must reflect five elements (Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal). This will generate positive energy and will attract customer.
6.     
             Store room
Every business has some godown where some raw material to be stored.
It should be in Southwest. Always keep those things in this direction which are not in use or will be used.
If you want some items to be moved fast, these should be in Northwest corner.
7.        
      Display of items
There are some items to be displayed in hotels and restaurants. These should be placed in Northwest direction & will push the sales. Items colored green, black, blue etc should be displayed in Southeast corner.
8.     
            Washroom
Earning of hotel or restaurant stays or slips depend upon the location of washroom. If incorrectly located, it will drain out the wealth very fast. Washroom should be in south, northwest and southeast. It should never be in northeast. Keep vigil on it.
It should be located at far end, where customers can’t see it. The door should be closed all the time. Cleanliness is a must.
9.    
            Furniture
Furniture is important. Table top should be orange, red or brown. Never and never use blue color in furniture. Try to avoid pointed furniture. According to Vastu and Feng Shui blue color should be used in bar room. There it will generate positive energy. Wooden furniture is preferred.
  10.
             Seating style
Sitting arrangement should be according to Vastu and Feng Shui rules. Customers should face south and west. While taking the order your face should be either north or east. This way good and healthy order is received.
There must be some sofas in northwest corners so that some old can sit there for some time and take rest.
  11.  
             Interiors
Interiors should and must match the hotel and restaurant. Here some professional consultation is very important. Red, orange, yellow, beige or brown color should be used on walls, pillars, flooring and in furniture.  
North, East and Northeast should always be light. Keep the heavy furniture and big tables in the Southwest, South and West. Some open space must be left in the center. This place will generate positive energy.
  12.
            Lighting
It is the lights which create the ambiance atmosphere. There should not be any flash, sharp and floodlights. Dim lights are welcomed. Yellow color lights are always preferred and it generates positive energy. At times come candles and candle lights should be used so that some change takes place.
Small and dim red color lights should be installed in Northeast, Southwest and in Center. This is good for hotel or restaurant.
.13.
            Designs
Designs , a very important in hotel and restaurant industry. Walls should not be plain. These should have some designs. Keep in mind that the designs should not be complicated & must match the industry.
Color should be red, orange, yellow, beige or some green.
Try to get some vertical designs and not horizontal. Vertical designs show the growth. Square designs are good. It is earth element which shows stability. Try to avoid maximum wavy designs.
  14.
             Advertisement
Advertising is crucial for gaining any business. Rise or fall of any business depends on it. If used judiciously, gives very positive results.
Always check the timings e.g. if a holiday season, tourist season, festival season etc. Then there are some particular days and festivals also.
Again be particular about some deals or packages. This will attract customer and advertisement takes place.
There are different ways of advertisements like newspaper, inserts, flyers, local radio, TV.
But the best these days is restaurant website. People just surf the net and go thru the entire menu, deles, packages etc. If this is linked with the other hotel and restaurant industry, local tourist department, local chamber etc it will give extra push to business and this is the best way to advertise.
  15.
           Above all the most important are the Vastu, Feng Shui and Pyramidology norms to be followed.
It is found that Vastu, Feng Shui and Pyramidology have more than 300 million dollars market in hotel and restaurant industry. Not only in West but in India people are becoming very particular to get the professional advice.
