## Seating Capacity

#### Seating Capacity—The architectural standard for dining suggests that 300 square inches be allowed per diner.

However, some establishments may call for more or less allocation. For instance, fast food restaurants, quick serve coffee shops, diners, lunchrooms, or similar spaces can get by with less space per diner. On the other hand restaurants such as fine dining restaurants, pizza shops, Mexican restaurants, and many Asian style restaurants may require more table space for larger food items, special utensils, various condiments and sauces, and similar.
