Summary Introduction
Interpretation:A layout plan is to be suggested for the restaurant considering the facility of 50 feet square and half restaurant for customer seating.
Concept Introduction: Relationship diagramming is a focal method in Systematic Layout Planning (SLP). The movement relationship outline changes over vowel-letter evaluations on the relationship diagram to a realistic perception of wanted closeness among activity zones. In the space relationship outline, every activity space is attracted to scale, accordingly indicating the relative size (and once in a while the state) of every zone, just as its best-related position.
