Sweet Shoppe Floor Plan - Ground Floor REVISED
Alrighty! First of all, thanks so much to all of you who made suggestions and helped with the various improvements to the original floor plan.
*super hugs*
Thanks!
Well, I've made a bunch of revisions! I added the emergency escape door in the rear of the store and added a second entrance/exit to the front house. Umm...for folks who don't live in England, the "lift" is an elevator It kinda hit me that if the main storage area is in the basement, then there would need to be an elevator to get downstairs, too. Of course, if someone needed to use it to get upstairs, they could get permission to do that, too.
I also added a door that separates the front house from the back house. And...I think that's about it. OH! ...there aren't so many chairs, now and the phone booth is much smaller.
*super hugs*

Very nice, Kitty! These things are SO handy for when you want to have a visual of your buildings that are mentioned/described in your artwork or stories! =^-^= I was gonna offer a few suggestions based on the first version of this one, but I see you already revised most of the things I was gonna suggest anyway =~.^=
There's two things, though; that lift makes a lot of sense, the staircase next to it doesn't, as it doesn't have anywhere to go! =~.^= If it would go straight down, you'd run into the back wall at the end; if it would make a 90º curve to the right to curve away from the back wall, you'd run into the elevator wall, and it if would make a 90º curve to the right at the end, you'd run into the other outside wall =~.^= Or is it perhaps a set of narrow stairs, only half the width of the square you've show, so that it goes straight down until halfway down, onto a small landing, from where a second staircase goes down, facing away from the back wall, into the basement? That could be possible, but whether that is the case, or whether it might be better to omit those stairs, it's a point to think about, I think =^_^=
Another thing I more wondered about; the upstairs floor, does that cover the entire premises? So, in other words, when you're on the ground floor, is there a ceiling above you which would be the floor of the second floor, from the front wall of the shop to the back wall?
See, I don't know if you ever saw the movie "Grease", but for some reason this layout reminded me of a diner in that movie where a few scenes were, and the song "Beauty School Dropout" was in that diner; now that diner had a ground floor with tables and booths like this, and there was a sort of "second floor" at the second half of the diner, which opened onto the ground floor so you could see the ground floor from the second floor, and vice versa.
I kind of wondered if the same might be the case in this shop? I could see how the second floor might only reach to above the register counter and the pastry/ice cream cases and have just a banister along it at that side so you can see onto the ground floor from the second floor, and onto the second floor from the ground floor =^_^=
*thinks*
Although... if the second floor contains nap rooms, maybe it would indeed be a closed floor that spans the entire floor are of the premises. Ah well, but I couldn't help but wonder since that diner from "Grease" came to my mind =~.^=
In any way, this is looking very good, Kitty! I love the layout, and it's so great so have a good visual to help forming an image in your mind to visualize what the Sweet Shoppe looks like on the inside! =^_^= I can't wait to see pictures of the girls doing their work in the Shoppe so we can see the furniture and the decorations and everything, too!

Hmm, well, the stairs have landings in them. They don't go straight up and down, they go down to a point, then hit a landing, then make a 180 turnabout to get to the next floor
Hmm, I've never seen Grease. I probably should, as my sister thinks it's amazing, but I haven't seen it. The second floor expands across the entire shop, though I've seen shoppes where the second floor is only a partial floor and it's lovely, but I think this will need more space. It's the very reason why they're not on the bottom floor, because there wasn't enough space to accommodate. So, Sweetheart would have made sure to have purchased a space where that wouldn't be an issue

You're very welcome, milady =^_^= Aha, and I see! Yes, those are the kind of stairs I had in mind; one part leading down halfway, then a small floor from where a second part leads further down in the opposite direction. And those stairs work perfectly in what you have shown here! =^_^=
*chuckles*
Yes, I have to very much agree with your sister; Grease is an amazing movie! I still can't help but feel like dancing and swinging at Franky Valli's "Grease", and the "Hand Jive", that is just such an amazingly upbeat number! =^_^= And if you like good old-fashioned rock'n'roll music, and good old-fashioned 50's-style mass dancing, and fetching highschool stories, then it's definitely a recommendation to watch! =~.^=
Anyway, I see what you mean about the extra space needed for this shoppe, and indeed, you're right, that makes a lot of sense =^_^= It really sounds like a very lovely place to hang out, too! I have never heard of any pastry/ice cream shops that had accommodation to take a nap, too! =~.^= *giggles* I may not be much of an ice-cream/sweets eater, but when I visit Calico City, I will definitely stop by there for a refreshment! Meow! =^_^=

That is so true! If people would smile just a little more, their lives would be vastly improved. When times are rough, there's no point in getting down on yourself. I mean, it's alright to be sad or depressed for a while, but you can't stay that way forever! You gotta pick yourself up and keep moving forward! AND SMILE!! ...and laugh, too
Indeed! I know all too well how very much it does not work when you're depressed and moody and down all the time; been there, done that. So I just decided to throw that overboard and just be a very happy and cheerful and silly kitty! It helps me stay young, too, gamboling around like a bouncing kitten; makes me forget what an old greynose of a kitty I already am, haha =~.^=
Thank you! ^_^ It may seem a bit large, but I think that's partly due to the fact that they needed a bakery/kitchen on the premises as well as requiring an upstairs and a basement for patron recreation and storage, respectively Like, if you cover your hand over the back of house, does it still seem big?
Lookz Fun, kinda Reminded me of the Pizza placez I Worked in, Plus the storage room Coverz the Janitor'z Room concept since It'z a Private business....
The Doorz on the Exitz r like the Front door of any Building, even Like your House where u Gotta Pull when Entering an Push when Exiting....

Thanks! Your pizza shoppe sounds interesting
Hmm...you pull your door open when you enter your house? Mine pushes in and pulls upon exit. Even some of the stores have doors that push to enter and pull to exit...well, some, not all, but that's how many are in the city. Although, for the entrance doors, I would like for them to pull open and push to exit. ...I...couldn't show it on this schematic, though

lol, looks like I was a little late in my comments xD Still, three staircases and an elevator? Is the upstairs for staff only or is it public? If its public I'm thinking the stairs should be more towards the back and the restroom closer to the main dining area, or better yet only one staircase going up. Still wondering why its such a small restroom for such a large place, unisex restrooms are good for small places, but a place like this would need larger facilities. Hehe, three doors to the kitchen, we like our doors don't we? Hope I didn't come off as rude, still looks like a very nice building :)
Only a little late ^_^
The upstairs is primarily for patrons and there's only one staircase that leads upstairs. The other two go to the basement and are out of the reach of the public. The elevator is to facilitate deliveries. If you're getting a shipment of 80 lbs of flour, you hardly want to carry that down a flight of stairs!
But, as for the main stairs, originally, they were towards the back of the store, but someone pointed out how very uninviting that was and I was inclined to agree. Bringing them forward invites the customers to go upstairs (which hasn't been designed, yet...which will have additional restrooms). The ground floor seats people who are just staying long enough to eat and probably study. The restroom facilitates their needs handily, while people who are going to relax for a bit would use the facilities where they lounge upstairs.
Now, as for the doors on the kitchen, yes, three doors are necessary and yes, I do like them You have a door in the rear for when deliveries are made. Instead of dragging the items all the way to the front of the house, it makes a lot more sense to have a door in the rear to handle that. You need a door behind the counter to take things directly to the back that need cleaning or to get things that are clean to return to the front of house. Then, you need a door that opens up to the dining area to serve people who ordered something that was fresh made, like soup or a grilled cheese or something like that.
...and that's that

With the doors I was referring to the fact that there are two entrances to the kitchen in the front, as in one behind the counter, and another off to the side of the counter.
Ah, so there is a lounge area on the second story which is were the main restrooms will be?
As for the elevator for heavy loads hehe. I work on a ship and I regularly carry packages that are in the upwards of 50lbs or more up and down several narrow flights of stairs, so its possible! If a skinny guy like me can do it, its possible! Or, you could just hire some strapping young males to do all the heavy lifting for you and give them massages while they use the bathing facilities in the workers area xDD

Yup, the lounge area is on the second floor. I said as much in the description
Well, the thing about heavy lifting is that just because you can doesn't mean that you should or that you'd want to. When you have parts to mixing equipment and stoves, they can easily exceed 50 lbs and beyond that, the staff at the shop consists of healthy females. They're not oxen and it would be silly to hire someone for the sole purpose of lifting heavy things from the basement to bring upstairs. He wouldn't have that much work to do because they don't go down to the basement as often as you'd think...that's why it's storage. And if it helps to have an elevator for the delivery man and the employees, why not? If you can afford it, it's a good investment.
