Rediseño integral de un restaurante de comida típica cuencana. Caso de estudio: restaurante “Las Palmeras”

Abstract

"Las Palmeras" is a restaurant located in the city of Cuenca in the rural parish of San Joaquín, where the typical food of the city prevails, with a traditional and cozy atmosphere, transporting its customers to the Cuenca tradition, with its peculiar gastronomy, music and events from the area. With this concept, the client will be offered a different experience, where a traditional culture is made known and gets out of the routine. The restaurant bears the name of "Las Palmeras" maintaining its tradition for 23 years because it has managed to save its seasoning; for the quality of the meat, its cut and the constant improvement in food processes, offering typical dishes of the area such as: roasted meat, roast mote, dirty mote, corn, beans with cheese, potatoes with leather, tortillas, etc. However, knowing that Cuenca is a large city full of various attractions and leisure places, such as parks, bars, restaurants, museums, this restaurant has been chosen to intervene, redesign and correct the shortcomings that currently exist in terms of interior and exterior design, structure, distribution, and comfort, so that the restaurant can offer better service and thus give it a better position in the current astronomic market. It is worth mentioning that today it is a place chosen mainly by national and foreign tourists. The largest influx of customers is registered on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The objective is to create a comprehensive redesign of the restaurant based on traditional architecture, to take better advantage of the interior and exterior spaces of the restaurant, with a proposal that manages to harmonize the spaces making them more utilitarian and comfortable for customers.
