She also said the floor layout will be more accommodating to people who need a little extra space getting to and from their seats. Whereas the interior of the old Curley’s Pub was fairly cramped and oddly-shaped, the new one will be wide open with appreciably more room between tables.

Look at the space that you have. Think about your community. Then choose a restaurant furniture layout that will make it possible to welcome a wider variety of customers.
