Today’s post looks at the factors that make for a Snazzy Ice cream parlour. The right synergy between functionality and visual experience is vital.

·       Functional Layout

An enterprising establishment owes its success to a well designed layout which allocates apt spaces for Service counters and Eating spaces with unhindered Circulation stretches and easy access to Storage units and dish washing areas.

·       Exclusive Logo and Vibrant Colours

Branding is an aspect of design that helps create an identity for a store. It needs to include a unique Logo which encompasses the essence of the store and in Colours that are best suited for the purpose.

Graphics on walls, Service area backdrops and on doors are elements that add to the chirpiness of the store.

·       Durable Furniture

A good mix of fixed counters with swivel bar stools for casual single users and movable tables with regular dining chairs for group users helps cater to different types of users. Low maintenance and sturdiness of materials is of prime importance.

Painted Hard wood, Ply with Laminates, Acrylic, Powder coated MS members and SS are ideal for furniture pieces. Laminated Ply or Block board, Glass and Natural stone make for easy maintenance for table tops.

·       Luminous Lighting

Natural light should be harnessed as much as possible. Apart from helping illuminate a space, natural light helps cut down bacteria and uplifts the wellbeing of the space users.

An apt combination of functional Ceiling lights, area specific task lights, ambience enhancing mood lights and decorative fixtures will enhance the appearance of the space.

·       Indispensable Services

Air conditioning to improve the quality of air and space specific electrical outlets is most essential.

Water supply points for Water purifiers and cleaning areas should be incorporated at specific positions in the Service areas.

Water inlets at the freezer, from purified water points, is an essential feature to help clean Ice cream scoops.

Air curtains at entry doors help control indoor climate and keep the space free of insects and odours.

Additionally Pest repellent units help control mosquitoes and house flies.
