Modern Restaurant Concepts
Since Covid, lots of things have changed. Many great concepts emerged from the pandemic, such as more health-conscious awareness, a focus on enjoying life, and new restaurant concepts and ideas. Some of the fun ideas that you can consider when thinking about opening your own restaurant include:
1. Farm-to-Tray Model
By teaming up with local farmers and food suppliers, you can offer your customers the freshest ingredients and support your local community at the same time. Many customers are looking for locally sourced food when they dine out. The farm-to-tray model is a great selling point.
2. Guest Chefs
Many popular themed restaurants have begun to invite famous guest chefs in to cook on a semi-regular basis. Guests enjoy special menus and the ambiance of a guest chef. Some places rotate different chefs to spice things up and offer patrons something different every night. This is great for places with regular customers who dine there often. Lots of New York restaurants are trying this concept.
3. Pop-Up Restaurants
Pop-up restaurants are all the rage and a great way to test the waters before diving in with both feet. You can research locations and partner with bars and taverns looking to offer food.
4. Pet-Friendly Restaurants
Pet-themed restaurants like Cat Cafe, The Dog Cafe, RAWR Coffee Bar, and Meow Parlour are popping up all over, making pets fashionable in restaurants. You will likely see many silly pet-themed names for coffee drinks and menu items.
5. Bohemian Bull Tavern and Beer Garden
One of the most inventive restaurant concept ideas is the beer garden. During the pandemic and social distancing, beer gardens kept restaurants afloat. Bohemian Bull Tavern and Beer Garden offer franchisees a unique experience with customizable buildouts, plentiful training and support, and a proven business model to keep them running smoothly.

6. Pop Culture Theme
Some restaurants pay homage to pop culture themes like old TV shows, songs, and famous artists. Match the decor, music, and wait staff uniforms to match the theme. The list is endless when you consider all the pop culture options available.
7. Eat in the Dark
Some modern restaurants are dimming the lights and even turning them off to create a sensory deprivation effect to help diners taste and feel the foods they are eating. Rumor is that eating in the dark heightens your tastebud awareness, so the food tastes magical.
8. Mystery Restaurant
Restaurants nationwide are creating mystery nights where customers are urged to play parts in a murder mystery while they eat. Each person is assigned a character, and scenes take place between courses. A mystery dinner sounds like a lot of fun.
9. Hit the Road with Your Food Truck Restaurant
Food trucks roll in towns all over America, and customers line up. This new fad has taken the country by storm. People love food truck pop-ups. You can park anywhere with your mobile restaurant and are open for business. These restaurants do well with snacks, lunch food, baked goods, and appetizers.
10. Build-a-Meal
Some people like to be a part of the process. A few restaurant entrepreneurs are opening places like Build-a-Bear but with food. Customers come in and get to lend a hand in making their meals. This restaurant concept works well with pizza and other similar foods.
11.Triple-Decker Restaurants
The Sienna Mercato restaurant in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, is making waves with its three-floored restaurant. Each floor has an entirely different theme and serves various types of food. Customers get their pick of what they are in the mood for tonight. However, something like this will be pricey to build and maintain.
