How to use the result

Complete the checklist with the actual furniture plan and a night-time mock-up. A restaurant needs separate solutions for guest atmosphere, food and faces, service, cleaning and safe movement. Record approved settings so the experience can be reproduced after maintenance.

Important: This tool provides design starting points, not electrical, structural or code approval. Verify the selected product’s dimensions, weight, voltage, controls and installation requirements. Use qualified professionals for hardwired or structural work.
