If, with the setting of the restaurant, we achieve that the diner feels relaxation, pleasure and fun, without a doubt, we will influence their perception and their purchasing behavior.

# 1- Conceptualize the restaurant
When opening a restaurant, more and more restaurateurs think about the concept. The trend is to focus the culinary offer on a star product, and from this, create a concept that is reflected in every corner of the business. That is why themed venues grow, which give customers other reasons, than food, to return.
The Aponiente restaurant in Cádiz, Spain, is an example, because with the sea as its theme, it is decorated with jellyfish lamps, fishtail chairs, scale walls and salt walls.

# 2- Use organic materials
When it comes to setting up a restaurant, the setting is so powerful that it can influence how customers feel and think when they enter it. If we take this influence into account, the most logical thing is to use materials that evoke well-being. The natural, organic and simple is imposed, and that is why we see more and more restaurants, made of wood, stone, handicrafts and even with the same materials as the original construction.
The heavy industrial design is exhausted and more humanized spaces proliferate. Like the Mama Campo restaurant in Madrid, which projects nature everywhere.

# 3- Open spaces, diverse environments
Before, opening a restaurant involved designing the setting according to the space. Today, this complication disappears, since open space is used, so that different environments coexist in it.

It is a trend that allows you to mix different objects and styles in one place, and achieve a more intense effect on the customer experience.

Another trend is the rescue of the values of eating in a group and sharing the table. That is why the urban dining rooms arise, with rectangular tables and long stools, where several clients coexist, to give the feeling of being in the market or in the park having a picnic.
