Restaurant Furniture Styles

Jul 17
Posted by Daniel in bar tips and advice, Restaurant Furniture, restaurant tips and advice

Use restaurant furniture to create a warm atmosphere while serving a function. Guests enjoy the style while staff appreciates easy maintenance pieces.

Restaurant furniture must be easy to care for, sturdy enough to handle a lot of use and maintain a good appearance. The type of restaurant setting in which it will be used will dictate the overall style as well as construction materials. Just as with home furnishings, there are many exciting options including banquettes, booths, chairs, table shapes and heights. Restaurant chairs may be constructed from fine wood, chrome, steel or a combination. Coverings include easy to clean vinyl and tightly woven cloth.

Restaurant furniture enhances overall style and can flow to adjoining areas such as lounges and outdoor patios. Floor coverings, curtains, tablecloths and wall colors should be taken into consideration when ordering fabric-covered pieces. Small, round, bistro tables with wrought iron chairs create an intimate setting, while family style restaurants often use a combination of dining booths and banquet or square tables to ensure adequate seating. Tall tables and backed bar stools are increasingly popular in restaurant/lounge settings.

Developing an overall seating plan and style prior to shopping for restaurant furniture will help business owners determine the best value for their money. Owners who plan to upgrade or replace a few tables or chairs at a time may benefit from sales or by choosing from lines that are considered open stock.

There are Plenty of Choices for Restaurant Furniture

The next decision is upholstery type. While fabric can have a more upscale look and be more comfortable, it can be especially susceptible to stains, which can obviously be a regular problem for restaurant furniture. Unless you plan to pay for regular upholstery cleaning, stick with easy-to-clean materials such as vinyl.

Let’s pretend that you are not a restaurant owner or manager for a few minutes. Let’s imagine that you just moved to a new city and you are looking forward to trying out a restaurant that serves your favorite food. So you head over to the place for dinner one night with your spouse. The atmosphere seems warm and inviting, and then the pleasant host takes you to your table.

On your way to the table, you notice that everything seems cramped. The tables are too close together. Once you sit down, you find out that the chairs aren’t comfortable at all. After a long day at work, you wanted to be able to find a nice comfy place to have dinner, but the chair is worse than the one you have in your cubicle.

By the time the appetizer arrives, you are already complaining to your spouse about the chair. You barely register the taste of the appetizer. It might have been good, but you just don’t care. When the food arrives, you are even more uncomfortable. People trying to get past your table have bumped and jostled you half a dozen times and almost spilled your wine. You don’t care much about how your food tastes. Once it is all over, you head home and write a negative review about the restaurant online. And only because of the restaurant seating.

Now, let’s step back into the shoes of the owner or manager of the restaurant. (more…)

11 Tips for Finding Quality Cheap Restaurant Furniture

Dec 20
Posted by Daniel in cheap restaurant furniture, Commercial Seating, Restaurant Barstools, Restaurant Chairs, Restaurant Furniture, restaurant seating, Table Bases, Table Tops

Restaurant FurnitureThe holidays are a great time for most of us because we get to spend more time with our family, but they can also be hard on the wallet, especially in these times.

However, even today new restaurants and venues are opening and old ones need to keep up with the competition. As any business owner knows, in order to survive and succeed we need to be very smart with our money.

This is why we’ve made this list of tips to help you find new, cheap restaurant furniture without having to compromise on the quality.

1. Take your time – If possible start your furniture “hunt” at least a month before you need them. It takes time to find the right furniture for your venue and you need to allow enough time for shipping. Don’t forget, express shipping is available but it costs more.

2. Shop online – When you shop online you can easily compare prices from different stores. Buying from a local store has its benefits but sometimes an online store that is not local might have cheaper prices, sales or discounts on shipping which can bring down the overall cost of your order.

3. Go metal– For the most part, metal restaurant chairs are cheaper than wood ones. However, if you have your heart set on wood restaurant chairs then look for items that are on sale.

4. Keep it simple – the more features a chair has the higher its price will be. A standard black frame finish is usually the cheapest option and will match almost any décor. Go for a standard wood or vinyl seat and, if you have time to do it yourself, look for chairs that come with the seat detached.

5. Buy in-stock items – By not ordering custom made restaurant furniture you save a lot of money and time. Commercial furniture stores usually have a stock of ready-made furniture that is ready to ship at a days’ notice. This means that the quick-ship or in-stock items are not only cheaper than custom made ones but they ship faster too.

How to Spot Quality Commercial Furniture

Dec 12
Posted by Daniel in Commercial Seating, Restaurant, Restaurant Chairs, Restaurant Furniture, restaurant seating

Restaurant FurnitureWhen you are furnishing your restaurant, finding quality seating is an important step.  While style and practicality are important elements, finding durable seating that will last for years is equally important.  To find the right furniture for your restaurant, there are several factors you should consider.  The following is a list of helpful tips that will teach you how to spot quality commercial furniture as you shop.

  • Look for chairs that come fully assembled. Manufacturers who do all of the assembly themselves can inspect each chair to make sure it meets their standards.  Manufacturers who sell assembled chairs are also more likely to address concerns you may have about the quality of your chairs.  Assembling the large number of chairs you need for a restaurant can be very time consuming as well, using time that could be spent doing other, more important tasks.
  • Ask if the chairs you are purchasing have been tested for weight and durability. Many chairs that are advertised for commercial use are better suited for home use as they cannot stand up to the constant use that is required in a restaurant setting.  Along the same line, ask the manufacturer if they specialize in restaurant or commercial furniture, which can give you an idea of the quality of their products and their suitability for restaurant use. One such quality standard is the BIFMA standard for commercial furniture products. (more…)
