Abstract

A restaurant construction system comprising a building having a first floor. A second floor consists of a terrace on three sides of the building forming an atrium between the terrace and the fourth side of the building. Both floors have dining tables and chairs with a telephone on a console on each table. An order-taking post is supported along the fourth side of the building slightly higher than the second floor terrace level and extends into the atrium so that substantially all of the tables on the first floor including those beneath the terrace as well as substantially all of the tables on the terrace can be seen. Thus an order-taking person with a telephone in the order-taking post can see a patron at any of the tables while taking his or her order over the phone, and enter the order on an input terminal of a fine dining restaurant computer system. The bar is positioned below the order-taking post. An outward extension of the fourth side of the building along the order-taking post permits a person in the order-taking post to identify patrons at the entrance. A video camera mounted on the outside of the fourth side of the building views the license plates of cars at the entrance of the restaurant, with its video display at the order-taking post.
