Café layouts that actually work on a Saturday rush

We plan seating, counter queues and kitchen sightlines for new openings in Bordeaux — avant you sign the lease on the wrong footprint.

All-day café

Morning takeaway lane separate from sit-down — otherwise everyone hates everyone by 9:15. Table mix weighted to two-tops before noon, larger tables flip for lunch.

Wine bar evening

Standing leaners near entry, seated deeper in. Back bar depth checked against your actual glassware — not Pinterest.
