Question 1

Posted: 8/24/2024

Question: Is the design behind the bar open to re-design? Also I noticed several problems with the location of this coffee bar and the space allowed for it. It might be better suited in a different location of the building based on my extensive experience with smaller coffee bar set-ups.

Response: Thank you for this important feedback. The design can be optimized to meet flow and compliance standards.
