Vastu for Resort/Hotel/Restaurant or cafe

Vastu Shastra  is a precious cosmic science from the ancient Indian architecture, which benefits to the people who adopt it irrespective of any religion.  It involves important principles of constructing a building by taking the advantage of nature’s five basic elements (Water, Fire, Earth, Air and Space) forming the universe.  People today realize that the environment does affect you and the vastu is a key to understanding how our surroundings have an influence on us.

Vastu is gaining acceptance all over the world  both by businesses and individuals. It is considered hot trend even in  U S A. There is presently an estimated 300 million dollars of Vastu related construction going on in the U.S. only.  Vastu has become a worldwide trend  including a hotel industry for attracting more guests to their places.

The Hospitality industry relies on quality service and facilities for the  repeat business. If  hotel has a vastu design then  guest will feel comfortable, relaxed and welcomed immediately.

Creative design with vastu norms has much to offer the hospitality industry. Hotel, restaurants and cafes in order to encourage more people to visit them should incorporate precious  vastu design in their layout.

When vastu norms are properly implemented at  Hotel /Restaurant or Café, it  helps to create an environment that enhances the guests’ experience. The result is a satisfied guest who will return over and over for repeat order/stay.

The key placement to  consider in a  hotel  & Restaurant’s vastu arrangement are the careful positioning of  entrances, main counters , table arrangements and even more importantly the kitchen.

Entrance:- 

Entrance to the hotel should be welcoming and easy to find and access.   It is a gateway to the wealth and success. Entrance in order to make it auspicious, it should be in the positive direction marked by an experienced  vastu expert. Any obstacles in front of  the main entrance could result  difficulty in getting new as well as repeat customers. When a hotel driveway warmly welcomes you with beautiful plants & flowers, an exotic water fountain and a smiling-greeting doorman, you are immediately satisfied even before you step into the lobby area.

Seating arrangement:- Tables and chairs should be in a harmonious arrangement preferably in alignment with magnetic axis. The customers should be facing east or west while taking a food or drink at the restaurant. Square or rectangular table with little round corner is preferred to avoid conflit and discomfort at the site.  

Kitchen:- Harmony and efficiency in the kitchen is the key to any hotel or restaurant's success. As the kitchen uses most two important element of the  vastu i.e.  fire & water, it is an area prone to conflict.  For the success of any hotel or restaurant it is advisable to put kitchen in the fire corner of the site.  Taste of the food cooked in the south east corner is much better pulling much more customers with frequent visits. There are lesser number of the complaints about the food quality and service,  if kitchen is made at fire corner.  

Colours:- Use warm colours like orange, yellow, cream & brown in the interior as well as menu design. These colours are more conductive to the nourishing and enjoyable experience of eating. Too much use of cool shades like grey and green may gradually lower the customer turnover. 

These are general guidelines for the design and placement that can be safely applied to your establishment. However, if you are serious about achieving a perfectly balanced and beautiful hotel or restaurant environment, then a personalized consultation is recommended for your success in business and a memorable dining experience for your valued guests.
