What is the recommended size for a hospital cafeteria?

The recommended size for a hospital cafeteria can vary depending on the size of the hospital, the number of patients, staff, and visitors it serves, as well as the types of services and amenities provided. However, a general guideline suggests that a hospital cafeteria should aim for a minimum of 15-20 square feet per seat or customer. This can help accommodate seating, food stations, queuing areas, circulation space, and other necessary facilities. It is essential to consider factors such as peak hour traffic, mealtime patterns, and the capacity required to serve all potential users comfortably and efficiently. Therefore, the size of a hospital cafeteria may range from a few hundred square feet to thousands of square feet, depending on the specific needs and capacity of the hospital.
