How each of the layouts enhances or hinder productivity

The entrance of a coffee chain put huge efforts in productivity enhancement because if the entrance is good then a higher number of customers will visit and productivity will be high accordingly.

The purpose of interior design is to attract customers so as to better as the design as much you will have more customers because of having a high attraction which leads to productivity and customers experience enhancement (Kalidindi, 2019).

Lightening and furniture setup play a vital role while it comes to the coffee chain because these things provide convenience to visitors. So making them better will lead to an increase in the number of visitors which will put a positive impact on productivity and customers' experience.

Location is an important factor in facility layout. It makes easy for customers to visit comfortably, so locating near to target customers means gaining a higher number of visitors. And if you have a higher number of visitors because of your fine location then the productivity will be higher and visitors will experience better convenience rather than in case of a lower number of visitors (Kalidindi, 2019).
