Have your own measurements?
Choose a rectangle, L-shape or T-shape and enter the inside dimensions, or start on a blank grid.
How it works
Three steps from an empty room to a plan you can share.
Draw the dining room
Pick a rectangle or L-shape and type the inside measurements, or draw each wall. Add the entrance, the kitchen door and the windows.
Place the tables and bar
Drag in 2-tops, 4-tops, round tables, booths, banquettes and the bar. Resize any of them to the furniture you are buying.
Check it and download
Count the seats, check the aisles and the route to the kitchen, look at it in 3D, then download the plan.
What you can plan
Everything a dining room is made of, at the sizes restaurant suppliers sell, plus the room itself.
TablesSquare 2-tops and 4-tops, rectangular 4-tops, tables for six, round tables, bistro and high-top tables.
Booths and banquettes2- and 4-seat booths and wall banquettes, so you can compare booth seating with free-standing chairs.
Bar and serviceBar counter, back bar, stools, service counter with till, host stand, condiment station and window bar.
Back of houseStainless prep tables, a six-burner commercial range, reach-in fridges, sinks and dishwashers for the kitchen and pass.
Every item is drawn at its real size in 2D and 3D, and you can type in the exact width and depth of the product you are buying. Select an item to see its distance to each wall.
How to plan a restaurant layout
Plan a restaurant from the fixed points inwards: the doors, the kitchen pass and the bar first, then the seating, then the checks.
Measure the room and mark what cannot move
Measure wall to wall and mark the entrance, fire exits, kitchen door, windows, columns and toilets. These decide where the routes go.
Split front of house from back of house
Many restaurants give around 60% of the floor to the dining room and 40% to the kitchen, stores and staff areas. Draw the dividing wall or pass first.
Draw the main routes
Keep a clear route from the door to the host stand, from the kitchen to every table and to the toilets, without crossing the queue for the bar.
Place the seating
Start with booths and banquettes along the walls, where guests like to sit, then fill the middle with tables that can be pushed together for larger parties.
Add the bar and service points
Place the bar near the entrance or the waiting area, with the back bar and about 90 cm (3 ft) of working space behind the counter for staff.
Check aisles, accessibility and the seat count
Check the space between occupied chairs, an accessible route to some of the tables, and how many covers you have. Then download the plan for your landlord, shopfitter or licensing application.

Standard restaurant table sizes
The planner’s tables start at these sizes; resize any of them to match your furniture.

How much space a restaurant needs per seat
Typical planning figures for the dining room only (not the kitchen). They are starting points: your layout, local code and licence decide the real number.
| Type of restaurant | Dining room per seat |
|---|---|
| Fine dining | 1.7–1.9 m² (18–20 sq ft) |
| Full-service / casual dining | 1.1–1.4 m² (12–15 sq ft) |
| Counter service | 1.7–1.9 m² (18–20 sq ft) |
| Fast food | 1.0–1.3 m² (11–14 sq ft) |
| Banquet | 0.9–1.0 m² (10–11 sq ft) |
Aisles and clearances
Measure these on your plan with the measuring tool before you order furniture.
| Where | Allow at least |
|---|---|
| Between the backs of two occupied chairs | 45 cm (18 in); 60 cm (24 in) is comfortable |
| Main service aisle | 90–120 cm (36–48 in) |
| Accessible route to tables (US ADA) | 91 cm (36 in) clear |
| Wheelchair turning space | 150 cm (60 in) circle |
| Working space behind a bar | 90 cm (3 ft) |
| Width per bar stool | 60 cm (24 in) |
In the US, the ADA requires at least 5% of seating and standing spaces at dining surfaces to be accessible. In the UK, the Equality Act asks for reasonable adjustments; plan step-free access to some tables and the toilets.

Restaurant floor plan questions
Is the restaurant floor plan maker free?
Yes. Drawing the room, placing tables, booths and the bar, the 3D view and downloading an image of the plan are free, with no account or card. The free image download carries a small watermark; the scaled PDF without one is part of Plus, an optional monthly plan.
How do I create a restaurant floor plan?
Measure the room and mark the doors, windows and kitchen. Split the dining room from the back of house, draw the main routes, then place booths along the walls and tables in the middle. Check the aisles and the seat count, then download the plan. You can start from one of the editable restaurant layouts on this page.
What makes a good restaurant layout?
Short, clear routes from the kitchen to every table; a welcoming entrance with the host stand in view; a mix of booths and tables that can be pushed together; and enough space between chairs for staff to pass guests who are seated. It should also meet your fire exits and accessibility requirements.
How many tables can fit in my restaurant?
Divide the dining area by the space per seat for your type of restaurant: about 1.1–1.4 m² (12–15 sq ft) per seat for casual dining and 1.7–1.9 m² (18–20 sq ft) for fine dining. Then test it on the plan, because columns, doors and the bar always take some seats away.
What is the standard size of a restaurant table?
A square table for two is usually 60–75 cm (24–30 in) a side, a square 4-top 90 cm (36 in), a rectangular 4-top 75 × 120 cm (30 × 48 in) and a round table for six 120 cm (48 in) across.
How much space should be between restaurant tables?
Allow at least 45 cm (18 in) between the backs of two occupied chairs and 90–120 cm (36–48 in) for main aisles that staff use. An accessible route needs 91 cm (36 in) of clear width in the US.
Can I plan the restaurant kitchen too?
Yes. Add a dividing wall and the kitchen door, then use the back-of-house items: stainless prep tables, a commercial range, reach-in fridges, sinks and dishwashers. The kitchen planner has more cabinets and appliances if you need them.
Can I number the tables on the plan?
Yes. Select a table and type a name such as “Table 12” in Name on plan; it replaces the item’s label on the drawing and in the download.
