30 Epic Restaurant And Bar Design Fails That Are So Bad, People Had To Shame Them Online
Most people are oblivious to their own mistakes, but they can spot someone else doing something wrong from a faraway distance. It’s the same with restaurants: if you’re the owner, you probably think your place is great, but if you’re a customer, then you’ll most likely notice everything that’s wrong with the place in a jiffy. And sometimes restaurants mess up so badly without realizing it that customers can’t help but snap a picture and upload it to the popular ‘Crappy Designs’ subreddit.
For your perusing pleasure, here are the worst of the worst, the crème de la crème of horribly bad restaurant designs. We hope you like design fails as much as we do, so please enjoy this list in its entirety, click on the upvote button next to fails that you think are worth it, and remember to share with your friends.
You can find more of Bored Panda’s captivating lists about crappy designs and design fails here, here, here, here, here, and here. And here’s one more. So make some popcorn (and save some for us!) because there are plenty of designs to look at and make fun of!

Bored Panda had previously reached out to the ‘Crappy Design’ subreddit’s moderators to learn a bit more about the community.
“The original motivation for the subreddit was to point out crappy designs. Nowadays, most subscribers probably come here for entertainment,” the subreddit’s team told Bored Panda. “However, it is common to have meaningful discussion here on why or why not something is crappy design.”

Cleanliness in restaurant bathrooms should be one of the top priorities, as should be good air conditioning and pleasant music to keep your customers comfortable. However, even these helpful tips might not be enough to hide serious design fails in some restaurants.

The braille text is just printed, not raised. The last two pix are taken against the wall so we can see the text is flat.

Went To A Fairly New Restaurant, Bathrooms Were Nice Apart From The Sinks, It Was Real Rust
Chicago Kitty 6 years ago
But the owners think they're industrial farmhouse edgy! Brushing a white sleeve against this would ruin my dining experience, rust stains are difficult to remove. Not to mention that they can't properly clean this piece of junk.

In Oakville At A Chinese Szechuan Restaurant. Both Fascinated And Confused By The Men's Washroom Setup

I've seen this often in restaurants. I always tough it was to replace a changing station. But I have 3 young kids so I guess if I stare at something long enough it will eventually look like a changing station anyway.

At An Italian Restaurant....
pebs 6 years ago
No one in Italy would never ever think it's racist. It clearly says "rizza". Some peole should calm down a bit.
Tiny Dynamine 6 years ago
That's because it's not a word in Italian. Anyway, who's getting upset? They're just showing something that can be read in two ways.

This "Chandelier" In A Latvian Pub
Ieva 6 years ago
In Latvian mythology this is a positive sign and has nothing in common with nazis. It is called Thunder/Fire cross: The Fire Cross grows out of a unit of four - the four basic elements - earth, water, air, fire. The four symbolize perfection, the unity between heaven and earth, the four sides of the sky, the four seasons, the four life stages, the four phases of the moon, and so on. The thunder is the manifestation of the will of the god, the oldest solar rotating symbol of fire. The cross of fire symbolizes the light, the sun, the direction of life, the harmonious combination of soul, conscience, body, spirit, which passes through all systems, all four branches begin from the center, symbolize the center of the world and the incarnation of God. Both a guard and a sign of prosperity

Clearly A Tall Man Designed This Bathroom

I think that is a more logical conclusion. If the sink height is normal, and the soap dispenser is the average size, the mirror would be at a typical height.

This Soap Dispenser Above The Trash Can In A Local Restaurant

And the sink doesn't fit on the countertop either- I think this is a mess of "sure we can save money and do it ourselves"

Why Do They Make You Climb Up Into These Booths? Why Are There Barriers?
Surya Amriza 6 years ago
That's not barrier. It's where you sit. Some traditional cuisine restaurants do have this arrangement to make the ambiance more traditional without having the guest sitting on the floor as traditionally Asian do not use dinner table to eat together, this I know for sure in South/South East Asia.

The Door In The Bathroom Of This Restaurant Is Made Of Glass

Maybe so that you can see that the stall is both clean and unoccupied?

This Light I Found At A Restaurant Has A Swastika Hiding Inside It
Oerff On Tour 6 years ago
Though the swastika has a negative reputation in western society, it's much older and actually has a positive meaning in Asia. So it all depends on the location of the restaurant.

Disgusting Restaurant Tiles
2WheelTravlr 6 years ago (edited)
Meh. The half tiles are created because there's a slope leading towards a drain. Full tiles don't allow that. It also appears to be dark grout rather than dirt.
Kathy Baylis 6 years ago (edited)
I think they’re referring to the crookedness, not the cut of the tiles or the color of the grout. It’s jarring to anyone with OCD.

The Salt And Pepper Shakers At My Restaurant Job, Not Only Is There No Way To Tell Which One Is Which From The Outside, But The Only Way To Refill Them Is From A Rubber Butt Plug In The Bottom, Which Means You Have To Turn Them Upside Down And Get Stuff Everywhere
Georgia Valentine 6 years ago
Pretty standard salt and pepper shakers. The number of holes indicate which one it is.
Kathy Baylis 6 years ago
Right. Pepper generally has two, salt at least five. Then again, most people probably don’t know that.

Wow, this guy's lived his whole life not knowing how salt and pepper shakers work...
2WheelTravlr 6 years ago
Nearly all salt and pepper shakers fill from the bottom. It's so simple to lay your flat hand against the top to seal the holes, then turn it over and remove plug, fill, re-plug, return shakers to table, done.
Analyn Lahr 6 years ago
Um...most S&P shakers are filled like that. Cover the holes with your fingers. It's not hard. Hold the shaker in one hand, covering the holes and fill with the other hand.
