Start from the Cozy Café template

Open it in one tap, resize the walls to your room, swap any piece, and walk it in 3D.

Template page: Cozy Café

A small business has the same layout questions as a home, with higher stakes: does the counter fit, can two people pass in the aisle, where does the cooler go, is the restroom reachable. RoomSketch3D ships furnished templates for the common cases so you edit a working layout instead of drawing one.

The Commercial category holds thirteen: Cozy Café, Corner Café Restaurant, Family Restaurant, Fast-Food Restaurant, Corner Convenience Store, Grocery Store, Laundromat, Neighborhood Library, Apartment Lobby, Apartment Mailroom, Doctor's Office Waiting Room, Family Arcade, and Fitness Gym. Each is a complete design — walls, doors, windows, and every fixture placed at real size.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Open the commercial templates

    On Home, under Start a new floor plan, choose Use Template (Pre-designed layouts) and tap the Commercial tab (Commercial · 13; the Cozy Café is in it too). Each card shows the footprint and item count.

    Commercial: thirteen furnished business layouts.
  2. 2

    Preview and use one

    Tap Cozy Café: a ~540 sq ft coffee shop with a service counter, espresso machine, pastry display and condiment station, a menu board, four bistro tables seating twelve, a lounge nook with a loveseat and coffee table, a private restroom, and windows all around. Tap Use This Template.

    A complete café, ready to edit.
  3. 3

    Resize to your unit

    Tap an outside wall and type its real length, drag it in or out, or Split it, right on the plan. Use Add Room to add an adjoining room. See Edit walls on the plan. Fixtures keep their positions; rearrange them to suit.

    It's a normal design: every wall and fixture is editable.
  4. 4

    Add fixtures from the commercial catalog

    Search the catalog for what a shop needs: Snack Vending Machine, Drink Vending Machine, Glass-Door Beverage Cooler, Open Refrigerated Case, Grocery Aisle Shelving, Grocery Wall Shelving, Soda Fountain, Gumball Machine, Coin / Change Machine, and a wall Urinal for restrooms — each with a clear plan symbol and a real 3D model. Drop a cooler by the counter.

    Commercial fixtures live in the same catalog.
  5. 5

    Check the aisles and walk it

    Open Flow check: blocked door swings, crowded doorways and overlapping pieces are listed. Measure each aisle with the tape-measure tool so a 36-inch aisle stays a 36-inch aisle. Then View in 3D and walk the space before you sign a lease or order the counter.

    Walk the café before it exists.

Tips

Plan a food truck too

Draw the truck's outline, then use Auto-furnish → Whole rooms → Food Truck: pick a truck size, single or double line, and the equipment, and a health-code checklist appears on the plan. See Auto-furnish.

Electrical for the trades

Drop outlets and circuit lines from the Symbols panel and export the Electrical plan style for the fit-out electrician.

Share the link

A public link lets a landlord or partner open the plan without an account.

Common mistakes

Keeping the template's footprint

Templates are starting points. Resize the walls to your actual unit before you judge the layout.

Forgetting accessibility clearances

Flow Check flags blocked doors and doorways, but measure aisles yourself and check your local code for aisle widths and restroom turning space.
