[0012] [Figure 1] It is a plan view of a cafeteria structure as one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] It is a schematic cross-sectional view along line C-C in Fig. 1. [Figure 3] It is a diagram showing details of the vicinity of the food serving passage shown in Fig. 1. [Figure 4] It is a diagram showing details of the vicinity of the hall section shown in Fig. 1. [Figure 5] It is a diagram showing details of the vicinity of the used dish return passage shown in Fig. 1. MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0013] Hereinafter, embodiments of the cafeteria structure according to the present invention will be exemplarily described with reference to the drawings. Common members and parts in each drawing are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0014] Fig. 1 is a plan view of a cafeteria structure 1000 as one embodiment of the cafeteria structure according to the present invention. The cafeteria structure 1000 is applied to a cafeteria 2001 provided in a building 2000. In the embodiment, the building 2000 is a two-story building, but the building 2000 may be a one-story building or a building with three or more stories. Fig. 1 is a partial plan view of the first floor of the building 2000 of the present embodiment, but the same floor plan as that shown in Fig. 1 may be adopted for another floor of the building 2000.

[0015] As shown in Fig. 1, the cafeteria structure 1000 includes a kitchen, a hall section, a food serving passage, and a used dish return passage.

[0016] As shown in Fig. 1, the kitchen includes a food serving section and a used dish return section. The food serving section may include, for example, a serving counter 1111 from which meals are provided to cafeteria users (see Fig. 3). The used dish return section may include, for example, a return counter 1121 on which cafeteria users return used tableware and the like (see Fig. 5).

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the hall section 1200 is disposed adjacent to the kitchen 1100 in a plan view. As will be described later in detail, tables 1230 and chairs 1240 may be arranged in the hall section 1200 of the present embodiment (see FIG. 5). Further, as will be described later in detail, the hall section 1200 is not limited to being used as a food and beverage area, and may be used, for example, as a multipurpose area where events such as lectures can be held.

[0018] The food serving passage 1300 faces the food serving section 1110 of the kitchen 1100 in a plan view (see FIG. 1). The dish returning passage 1400 faces the dish returning section 1120 of the kitchen 1100 in a plan view (see FIG. 1). As shown in FIG. 1, the food serving passage 1300 and the dish returning passage 1400 are disposed adjacent to both sides sandwiching the kitchen 1100 at positions different from the hall section 1200 in a plan view.

[0019] By disposing the hall section 1200, the food serving passage 1300 and the dish returning passage 1400 with respect to the kitchen 1100 as described above, the food serving section 1110 and the dish returning section 1120 of the kitchen 1100 are hardly visible from the hall section 1200. Therefore, the hall section 1200 is easily usable for purposes other than meals.

[0020] Further, by adopting a configuration in which the hall section 1200 is not adjacent to the food serving section 1110 and the dish returning section 1120, sounds or odors inside the kitchen 1100 are less likely to reach cafeteria users using the hall section 1200 from the food serving passage 1300 and the dish returning passage 1400.

[0021] Further details of the cafeteria structure 1000 of the present embodiment will be described below.

[0022] In addition to the above-described kitchen 1100, hall section 1200, food serving passage 1300 and dish returning passage 1400, the cafeteria structure 1000 of the present embodiment further includes a cafeteria entrance 1500, a food serving waiting space 1600, and a cafeteria exit 1700. In FIG. 1, a flow line L from the cafeteria entrance 1500 to the cafeteria exit 1700 by a cafeteria user is indicated by a thick arrow.

[0023] As shown in Figure 1, in this embodiment, the length of the dining hall 2001 in the direction in which the kitchen 1100 and the hall area 1200 are arranged side by side (left-right direction in Figure 1) is longer than the length of the direction in which the kitchen 1100, the serving passageway 1300, and the dish-clearing passageway 1400 are arranged side by side (up-down direction in Figure 1). Hereafter, for the sake of convenience in explanation, the direction in which the kitchen 1100 and the hall area 1200 are arranged side by side in a plan view (see Figure 1) (left-right direction in Figure 1) will be simply referred to as "longitudinal direction A". Also, the direction in which the kitchen 1100, the serving passageway 1300, and the dish-clearing passageway 1400 are arranged side by side in a plan view (see Figure 1) (up-down direction in Figure 1) will be simply referred to as "short direction B".

[0024] As shown in Figure 1, the kitchen 1100 in this embodiment is located on one side of the longitudinal direction A (left side in Figure 1) within the dining hall 2001. Also, as shown in Figure 1, the hall section 1200 in this embodiment is located on the other side of the longitudinal direction A within the dining hall 2001 (right side in Figure 1). The serving section 1110 of the kitchen 1100 is located on one side of the short direction B (upper side in Figure 1) within the kitchen 1100. The dish clearing section 1120 of the kitchen 1100 is located on the other side of the short direction B (lower side in Figure 1) within the kitchen 1100. The kitchen 1100 is separated from the hall section 1200, the serving passage 1300, and the dish clearing passage 1400 by kitchen partition walls 1150. The serving tables 1111 and dish clearing tables 1121 mentioned above are provided on the kitchen partition walls 1150.

[0025] First, the positional relationship between the hall area 1200, the serving passageway 1300, and the dish return passageway 1400 in the dining hall structure 1000 of this embodiment will be explained. As shown in Figure 1, the hall area 1200 is located on the flow of movement from the serving passageway 1300 to the dish return passageway 1400 (see "flow of movement L" in Figure 1). Therefore, dining hall users can receive food from the serving section 1110 of the kitchen 1100 in the serving passageway 1300. After receiving their food, dining hall users can enter the hall area 1200 by passing through the serving passageway 1300. After eating and drinking in the hall area 1200, dining hall users can return used dishes, etc., in the dish return passageway 1400. In other words, according to the dining hall structure 1000 of this embodiment, the flow of movement from the serving passageway 1300 to the hall area 1200 and the flow of movement from the hall area 1200 to the dish return passageway 1400 are continuous without intersecting (see "flow of movement L" in Figure 1). Therefore, congestion caused by the intersection of cafeteria users who are about to eat and those who have already finished eating is suppressed. This makes the cafeteria 2001 easier for users to use.

[0026] Next, we will explain the flow of movement from the cafeteria entrance 1500 to the serving corridor 1300.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1, cafeteria users can enter the cafeteria 2001 through the cafeteria entrance 1500 from the corridor 2100 which is adjacent to the cafeteria 2001. More specifically, the partition wall that demarcates the cafeteria 2001 in this embodiment comprises a partition wall 1850 that demarcates it from the corridor 2100 and an outer wall 1800 that demarcates it from the outdoor space 3000. The cafeteria entrance 1500 in this embodiment is provided in the partition wall 1850. In this embodiment, a part of the partition wall 1850 is composed of a kitchen partition wall 1150.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1, the waiting area for food service 1600 is located on the traffic flow from the dining hall entrance 1500 to the food service passageway 1300 (see "traffic flow L" in Figure 1). The waiting area for food service 1600 is a space where dining hall users who have passed through the dining hall entrance 1500 can wait for their food to be served. More specifically, the waiting area for food service 1600 can be used, for example, as a space where dining hall users waiting for their food to be served can line up. By providing such a waiting area for food service 1600 within the dining hall 2001, congestion in front of the dining hall entrance 1500 in the corridor 2100 can be suppressed. In addition, a handwashing area 1610 is provided in the waiting area for food service 1600 in this embodiment. This allows dining hall users to wash their hands in the dining hall 2001 before receiving their food, improving the convenience of the dining hall 2001 for dining hall users. As shown in Figure 1, the dining hall entrance 1500, the waiting area for food service 1600, and the food service passageway 1300 in this embodiment are not arranged in a straight line in plan view. Therefore, cafeteria users cannot see the serving passageway 1300 from the cafeteria entrance 1500 through the serving waiting area 1600. In other words, they cannot see the hall area 1200 connected to the serving passageway 1300 from the corridor 2100. This makes it easier to hold events such as lectures in the hall area 1200. As shown in Figure 1, a door 1930 that can be opened and closed may be provided between the serving waiting area 1600 and the serving passageway 1300.

[0029] Figure 3 shows a serving passage 1300. As shown in Figure 3, food is served to cafeteria users in the serving section 1110 of the kitchen 1100. The serving section 1110 in this embodiment includes a serving table 1111. A payment system may be provided on the serving table 1111, for example. The payment system may include a cash register, a meal ticket vending machine, etc. However, the payment system is not limited to the serving table 1111, and may be provided, for example, near the boundary between the serving passage 1300 and the hall section 1200, or near the boundary between the hall section 1200 and the dish return passage 1400, etc.

[0030] Next, the flow of movement from the serving passageway 1300 to the hall area 1200 in this embodiment will be described. Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view along the line C-C in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 2, in this embodiment, the height H1 of the ceiling 1310 of the serving passageway 1300 is lower than the height H2 of the ceiling 1210 of the hall area 1200. This configuration gives dining hall users entering the hall area 1200 from the serving passageway 1300 a sense of openness in the hall area 1200. In addition, the color of the walls of the serving passageway 1300 may be darker than that of the hall area 1200. By doing so, the sense of openness felt by dining hall users entering the hall area 1200 from the serving passageway 1300 can be further enhanced.

[0031] Next, the details of the hall section 1200 in this embodiment will be described. Figure 4 is a diagram showing the hall section 1200. As shown in Figure 4, the hall section 1200 in this embodiment is mainly used as a dining space, as described above. In this embodiment, the floor area of ​​the hall section 1200 is larger than the floor area of ​​the serving passageway 1300 and the floor area of ​​the dish return passageway 1400. As shown in Figure 4, tables 1230 and chairs 1240 are arranged in the hall section 1200 of this embodiment. Dining hall users can eat using the tables 1230 and chairs 1240. The tables 1230 may be fixed tables that are attached to the floor of the hall section 1200, or they may be freely movable tables. The same applies to the chairs 1240. The chairs 1240 may be fixed chairs that are attached to the floor of the hall section 1200, or they may be freely movable chairs.

[0032] Furthermore, the hall section 1200 of this embodiment is not limited to use as a dining space, but is also configured to be usable as a multi-purpose space where events and other activities can be held.

[0033] Specifically, the hall section 1200 of this embodiment is equipped with stage equipment 1220. However, the hall section 1200 may be equipped with video equipment in addition to or instead of the stage equipment 1220. The video equipment may include, for example, a large screen, a projector, a display, etc. Furthermore, the stage equipment 1220 and the video equipment may further include lighting equipment, sound equipment, etc. By equipping the hall section 1200 with at least one of the stage equipment 1220 and the video equipment in this way, the hall section 1200 becomes easier to use as a multi-purpose space where events and the like can be held.

[0034] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 and 4, a window 1810 may be provided in the outer wall 1800 that separates the hall area 1200 from the outdoor space 3000. In this embodiment, the window 1810 is provided in the outer wall 1800 that is located opposite the kitchen 1100 in a plan view (see Figure 1). By providing a window 1810 in the outer wall 1800 that separates the hall area 1200 from the outdoor space 3000, the sense of openness in the hall area 1200 can be enhanced.

[0035] Next, the flow of movement from the hall area 1200 through the dish return passage 1400 to the dining hall exit 1700 in this embodiment will be described. After finishing their meal in the hall area 1200, dining hall users can exit through the dish return passage 1400, through the dining hall exit 1700, and out to the corridor 2100 (see "flow of movement L" in Figure 1). Figure 5 shows the vicinity of the dish return passage 1400. As described above, the dish return passage 1400 faces the dish return area 1120 of the kitchen 1100. In the dish return area 1120 of the kitchen 1100, dining hall users can return used dishes, etc. The dish return area 1120 in this embodiment includes a dish return counter 1121. As shown in Figure 1, the dining hall exit 1700 in this embodiment is different from the dining hall entrance 1500. As described above, the dining hall structure 1000 in this embodiment includes a serving waiting space 1600. Therefore, congestion in front of the cafeteria entrance 1500 in corridor 2100 can be prevented by cafeteria users who are about to use cafeteria 2001. As a result, cafeteria users who have finished their meals and come out into corridor 2100 can pass in front of the cafeteria entrance 1500 in corridor 2100 more easily.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1, the dish return passage 1400, the dining hall exit 1700, and the corridor 2100 are arranged in a straight line along the longitudinal direction A in a plan view, but the arrangement is not limited to this. The dish return passage 1400, the dining hall exit 1700, and the corridor 2100 do not have to be arranged in a straight line in a plan view.

[0037] Further details of each part of the cafeteria structure 1000 of this embodiment will be described below, however, the configuration of each part of the cafeteria structure 1000 is not limited to the configuration described below.

[0038] As shown in Figure 1, the kitchen 1100 of this embodiment includes a cooking room 1130 and a washing room 1140. In the cooking room 1130, the food provider prepares the food to be served to the dining room users. The cooking room 1130 is equipped with cooking equipment used for cooking. Examples of cooking equipment include a work surface, heating equipment, a sink, a dish rack, and a refrigerator / freezer. The refrigerator / freezer may be located, for example, close to the entrance of the building 2000.

[0039] In the washing room 1140, dishes and other items returned by dining hall users at the dish return area 1120 are washed. The washing room 1140 may be equipped with, for example, a sink and a dishwasher. The washed dishes are returned to the dish storage area in the kitchen 1130 and may be used again.

[0040] In this embodiment, the space between the hall area 1200 and the serving passage 1300, and the space between the hall area 1200 and the dish return passage 1400, can be closed. Specifically, a door 1910 is provided between the hall area 1200 and the serving passage 1300, and a door 1920 is provided between the hall area 1200 and the dish return passage 1400. By closing doors 1910 and 1920, the hall area 1200 can be made into a closed space. This makes it easier to use the hall area 1200 for events, etc.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1, the protruding corners of the kitchen partition wall 1150 and the partition wall 1850 may be formed with a convex curved surface in a plan view so that the flow of movement L is easily noticeable to dining hall users. In this embodiment, the protruding corner 1151 of the kitchen partition wall 1150, located between the hall area 1200 and the dish-clearing passage 1400, is formed with a convex curved surface. In this embodiment, the protruding corner 1152 of the kitchen partition wall 1150, located between the hall area 1200 and the serving passage 1300, may also be formed with a convex curved surface. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the two protruding corners 1851 and 1852 of the partition wall 1850, located on one side of the longitudinal direction A (the left side in Figure 1) (one of the protruding corners 1852 is also the protruding corner of the kitchen partition wall 1150), are formed with a convex curved surface. In this way, the protruding corners of the kitchen partition wall 1150 and the partition wall 1850 are formed with convex curved surfaces, making it easier for cafeteria users to be aware of the circular flow of movement that starts from the serving passageway 1300, proceeds through the hall area 1200 and the dish return passageway 1400, exits the cafeteria exit 1700 onto the corridor 2100, and passes in front of the cafeteria entrance 1500. This allows for smooth movement of cafeteria users along the aforementioned circular flow of movement.

[0042] The cafeteria structure according to the present invention is not limited to the specific configuration shown in the embodiments described above, and various modifications and changes are possible as long as they do not deviate from the scope of the claims. [Explanation of symbols]
