　　Design and Layout of Foodservice Facilities, Second Edition offers an extensive reference manual for the entire foodservice development process–from the initial food concept through the steps of planning, financing, design, and construction, and on to the final inspection that occurs just prior to the opening of the establishment. Packed with valuable drawings, photographs, and charts, this essential nuts-and-bolts guide deals with feasibility, space analysis and programming, layout, equipment selections, and architecture and engineering.

This extensively updated edition presents:

　　1.Thorough coverage of the planning, feasibility, and concept development steps that are a prelude to a successful design project

　　2.A focused presentation of the roles and responsibilities of each member of the project team, designed to assist hospitality professionals in becoming effective participants

　　3.An expanded discussion of the steps in the design sequence so that hospitality professionals know what to expect, and when, from their architects, engineers, and consultants

　　4.Greater emphasis on programming and space analysis for each of the functional areas of a foodservice facility, from receiving through preparation to service and warewashing

　　5.An enhanced introduction to the major types of commercial foodservice equipment, emphasizing relevant selection criteria and covering recent innovations

　　Design and Layout of Foodservice Facilities, Second Edition is an invaluable resource for hospitality professionals who are planning or who are now involved in foodservice design projects.
