Decorate according to your own needs. If it is a pure takeout shop, the decoration should be economical and practical and does not require too much decoration.
What needs to be noted here is that the decoration materials must be clean, easy to take care of, and easy to make.

The indoor layout must first consider food safety, such as the separation of raw and cooked food, the setting of sinks and flues, etc. These FDA will also have basic requirements.
Secondly, we must consider the reasonable layout, how to reasonably save time and improve dining efficiency.
The storage space must be large. For example, packaging boxes for food ingredients take up a lot of space, so they must be planned well in the early stage. Otherwise it will be very troublesome to change it later. Don’t ask why, ask me, I’ve been through it all, it’s really troublesome.
