The restaurant landscape has undergone structural changes to make food more accessible to customers and to make its service speed more efficient for take-out dining after epidemic. Here are the key changes in kitchen and restaurant for 2022
During the pandemic, accessible windows began to emerge. They became the solution that many business owners relied on to serve their customers while maintaining social distance. As we see restaurants reopen, it's clear that pick-up windows will continue to exist, not to maintain distance, but to provide convenience for people accustomed to take-out. In 2022, we expect to see permanent walk-up windows incorporated into the structural design of restaurants and cafes.
As more restaurants, explore virtual branded business models, the need for kitchen space increases and the need for dining space decreases. As a result, virtual companies are joining forces to create mixed kitchens. In these shared spaces, more than one restaurant brands can prepare, cook, package and distribute their food from the same kitchen. As we move into 2022, you're likely to see more and more businesses working together. Different restaurant brands coming from the same location, prepared in the same kitchen.
