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.

Chartrons brunch spot — 2025

42 seats, open kitchen visible from two-thirds of tables. Queue outside peak managed with a visible ordering board.

Saint-Pierre wine bar — 2024

Bar occupies 35% of floor — enough back bar depth for natural wine storage without blocking staff.
