ORFI RESTAURANT
3. Good signalling of bathrooms. A sign with lighting should be
installed to indicate properly the location of they. Also, Braille
sign should be placed next to the door to indicate which one is
for male and which one is for female users. And to be sure that
anyone uses the right WC, a voice message can be
programmed to sound when opening the door. Something like:
“you’ve entered into male bathroom”.
4. A good welcoming can be reinforced if a voice message
like “Welcome to Our Restaurant” sounds at the time that
someone enters the restaurant.
5. A closed and tiny reception is not comfortable for most
disabled people. It’s a hundred times better to have an open
and open-plan space to welcome customers: imagine a person
with a wheelchair that enters into a reception of two per two
meters, with a column in the middle. She or he will not be able
to even take off her jacket!
6. In case of fire or emergency, to make everyone know that
something is happening is a priority. For that reason, both
sound and light alert devices must be available. Some
stroboscopic lights, like the one that we have in the classroom,
must be placed throughout the restaurant, also in the
bathrooms. Also, the exit must be easy to locate.
