Restaurant Furniture Styles

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.

How to Choose the Right Restaurant Furniture

Choosing the right restaurant furniture for your facility can pose a challenge. This post explains factors that influence your choice and helps you decide.

Whether you are upgrading your facility or opening a new restaurant, thoughtfully chosen restaurant furniture can lend a unique and elegant character to your establishment. Ambiance and comfort are as important as the quality of food that is served, so here are a few tips on how to choose the appropriate restaurant furniture.
1. Restaurant furniture reflects ambiance. For example, if you have a place that serves fast food and milk shakes, then you might want to opt for funky and modern styles.

2. Have something for every age. A restaurant welcomes all its clients, which means you need to own everything from a few baby high chairs, comfortable armchairs for the elderly and everything in between.

3. If your restaurant offers both indoors and outdoor dining, then you want to invest in both kinds. Outdoor patio furniture could be made from more informal materials like cane or wicker.

4. Colors matter when it comes to choosing your restaurant furniture. Light colors suit a vibrant, upbeat ambiance while more sedate colors are appropriate for an elegant dining experience.

Make Your Restaurant a Success with the Right Restaurant Furniture

restaurant furniture setsServing tasty meals is only one part of running a successful restaurant. Restaurateurs strive to create the right ambience in their restaurants because they realize how the quality of furniture can pip the appeal quotient of a restaurant. Opting for first class commercial furniture is guaranteed to add overall value. There are several benefits associated with the purchase of good restaurant furniture:

1. The right restaurant furniture can speak volumes about the business. Among other things, it can create funky, comfortable, classy and elegant environments. It should also match the needs of the specific clients the restaurant caters for. For example, if it is a family friendly restaurant that wants to appeal to children, the furniture must be able to produce a friendly and comfortable vibe and be attractive to children and parents alike.

2. Carefully chosen furniture adds value to the relationship that exists between the customers and the restaurant. A favorite table or a preferred chair can add to the charm a customer can develop for a restaurant.

3. Convenience is another big plus. Customers often have bad experiences when a chair is too low for a table or a table is too tight for larger built people. Correctly chosen furniture can minimize such inconveniences to the customers. They can relax and enjoy a pleasant dining out experience without squirming uncomfortably in their seats.

4. Choosing the correct numbers of chairs and tables for the restaurant can make all the difference between a professional, well managed restaurant and one that might be perceived as low class or as unprofessional.

Deep Discounts can Drive Profit Up for Your Restaurant

Many people who are new to the restaurant business are afraid of offering discounts that they deem to be too large. However, a large discount might be just what you need to stir up more customers and get new people to come into your restaurant. How deep is a deep discount? Consider offering a meal for .25 cents with the purchase of another meal at full price.

This seems like it is going to cost you money, but you will be able to make up for it in volume. In addition, more people will hear about your restaurant, and you might be able to attract some customers that would never have visited. If they have a good experience, they will likely come back.

How can you make sure that they have a good experience at your restaurant? Well, for starters you need to have great food and a great staff that is going to be able to handle the higher volume of traffic. Because you should expect to do more business during this time, it is important that your restaurant seating is able to handle that many extra people too. Good restaurant seating, a good staff, and great food are three ingredients that you can’t do without.
