Added: 10/26/2005

For many years a food court is an integral part of shopping malls, which has looked the same until recently. Traditionally, a food court has consisted of similar fast food tenants, situated at the corner at one end of the mall. The situation has rapidly changed over the recent years, when with the growth of the food court popularity, the designers began to pay more attention to the convenience of the food court location, as well as to the comfort and décor.

Generally, the food court is a concept created to provide fast food for the customers and to serve as many customers as it is possible during a limited period. The food court today is the place, where you can have a snack and at the same time try the delicacies of all brand fast food manufacturers, including McDonald, Krispy Kreme, Deli Food, etc.

A food court is an excellent possibility to have a substantial snack for those, who are not able to find enough time for proper lunch during their busy working day or for those, who do not always have time for cooking at home. The service is fast as the term "fast food" predetermines and the food is actually good. A college food court today is also an excellent opportunity for students to have good lunch and the majority of colleges offer it.

Many colleges have already left the systems of cafeteria and turn their attention to a more convenient food court system. Contemporary students of many colleges already have all the possibilities to try and enjoy the food from such top brands as Subway, Nirchi's and Gance's.

It is also becoming more pleasant for the customers to eat from any food court, as the food court design tends to constant renovations and becomes more attractive and comfortable. Now, the designers think not only about the sales, but also about the impression the food court design produces on the customers.

A modern food court design tends towards more comfort for the customers, containing entertainment, pleasurable décor and leisurely dining. At many shopping malls, the food court design has gained so many innovations that today it is a favorite place for people of all ages, and many of them go to the mall to see what the food court offers or simply to enjoy the attractions.

Let us bring the example of recent renovations at the Orlando International Airport food court, which serves as one more proof of the Airport's commitment to meet the people's needs and continuation of its reputation as a world-class destination for the international travelers. The new food court design at the Orlando International Airport is superior to all the customers' expectations. The new food court design is based on the use of natural materials in the décor and presents a Sky, Water and Landscape theme. Natural materials are considered the best option in the food industry design, as it is a creator of the most pleasurable atmosphere for either dinner or lunch. Among other design peculiarities, the new food court features a 3000-gallon aquarium, housing over hundred species of salt-water tropical fish from around the world. There are also improvements and innovations in the food court assortment, including such top brands as Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, McDonald's sandwiches and salads, Chick-Fil-A, Sbarro (Italian food), and many more.

We should also point out that the innovation of the general concept of food court has not run off yet. There are ideas to create a new food court design, allowing indoor and drive-thru services, food courts with fireplaces, miniature golf, live entertainment, art exhibitions, health clubs, cinemas, interactive games, etc.

The list of innovations can have a long continuation, as the imagination of food court designers seems to be eternal. However, the fact is that the customers will have top fast food at the top food court.
