I chose to do a scratchbuild of an old style Arby's. I'm doing it for a couple of reasons, first, I like the shape of the older building and want to also replicate that old cowboy hat sign, Secondly, my layout is expanding and it needs a fast-food restaurant closer to some industry. And lastly, I'm doing it because I don't have any kits that I want to build and I doubt that there's any within a 100 miles of here. I just don't feel like waiting for an order to be delivered, plus I enjoy scratchbuilding. I don't have a clue what I have to work with until I get my train stuff back in order and the drywall guy says he may not be back before Monday to finish painting.
So here's my initial attempt at a sketch of what I think it should look like. The customer area will be about 20' x 38' with a kitchen/service area of around 25' x 30'. I'm guesstimating the dimensions based on some photos that I found in the Internet:
