Greetin' the Guests
More proof that there’s a blog for everything. There’s one for restaurant design. This entry from Jeffrey Summers is particularly interesting. Summers thinks restaurants should take a sledgehammer to their host stands.As a former restaurant hostess many years ago while I was pursuing my MBA, I can tell you that I enjoyed having that little podium. It gave me some space from spacey customers (yes, it was THAT kind of place). And best of all, I could study behind the stand when nobody was around.
That said, I do agree with Summers that the stands are a bit imposing. And, yeah, I don’t know anyone who has such a thing in their homes for greeting guests.
