wood and metal restaurant chairsIf you own a restaurant, you might be wondering whether you should get metal or wood furniture for your venue. It’s a tough decision, but by taking a few factors into account that decision could be a little easier.

First, you should know that metal chairs are more durable and can withstand more wear and tear than wooden ones, it is also easier to clean and maintain as it does not require the same level of care as wood. An added bonus is the stackable metal chairs which can be stacked on top of one another very easily, making them a great fit for storage purposes. So if you want to take the practical, cost effective route, metal is likely your best bet. However, metal is often times not quite as stylish as wood.

This means that if you’re running a high end, fancy restaurant, you’ll obviously want everyone to realize just how fancy your restaurant actually is. Quite frankly, metal chairs can come off as a somewhat cheaper option and also have a colder less personal feel. Your customers will know you’re cutting corners to lower costs, rather than going all out to ensure your restaurant is a lavish, exciting experience for them.

Use the Digital World to Draw More Customers to Your Restaurant

Aug 25
Posted by Daniel in bar tips and advice, Commercial Seating, Restaurant Furniture, restaurant tips and advice

What are your customers and all of those potential customers doing when they aren’t enjoying a meal at your restaurant? Well, when they aren’t at work most people spend oodles of time on the web. Of course, quite a few of them are probably on the net even when they are at work, but that’s beside the point! Once you realize how much time people spend on the web, you can see what a powerful tool it can be. If you have only a limited web presence right now, beef it up.

You need to have a website for your restaurant for starters. It doesn’t have to be full of bells and whistles, and you don’t have to spend a fortune to get it set up. However, you want to try to set the right tone with your site. It should match the ambience that you are trying to create inside your eatery.

Make sure that you have your menu up on your site so people know what they are going to find in terms of eats. You also want to have some photos of your restaurant. Have a gallery of shots of the exterior and the interior to show your restaurant furniture and seating arrangement. Highlight the best parts of your restaurant. You can hire a professional to take the photos or you can do it on your own. Just be sure to put up clean and clear photos. That means the snapshots you take with your cell phone probably aren’t going to cut it.

If you have a large space that you rent out for formal dinners, such as a ballroom, you want to make sure that the people who rent the room from you have a great setup. One of the things that you can do to make your room more attractive to potential customers is to have high quality ballroom chairs and tables. It may seem like a little thing, but it can make a big difference. With comfortable chairs that match the table, you can be sure that the people who come to the event will be able to focus on the festivities rather than on the furniture in the room.

You will also want to be able to rearrange the tables and chairs to accommodate each customer’s needs. Some may need to have more room for a dance floor or for their entertainment. Make sure that you have the ability and room to move some of those tables out if you need to. After all, you want to be able to accommodate your customers. (more…)

Branding Your Bar and Restaurant is Important

Jun 30
Posted by Daniel in bar tips and advice, Commercial Seating, Restaurant, Restaurant Furniture, restaurant seating

As a business owner, you’ve probably heard about the importance of branding. However, you might not know how important it can be when you have a single restaurant or bar. You might not realize the branding is still vital if you want to project a coherent image through all of your promotion efforts and beyond. How can you go about branding? That’s not an easy question to answer because there are so many variables. However, the following tips should help you to get on the right track. If you are still having trouble identifying, solidifying, and promoting your brand, you can always hire a specialist to help.

The first step in branding is identifying how you want your customers to see you and your establishment. Are you running a fun family friendly restaurant that caters to the kids and makes everyone feel at home? Do you have an upscale sushi restaurant? Are you running a family-owned Korean barbeque shop? Every restaurant or bar is going to fit into certain niches better than others. Find what you want to promote as a part of your restaurant and make that a part of your brand.

Of course, there is also the very literal aspect of branding. You need to have a logo, even if you are a small bar or restaurant. A logo, which you use for all of your communications and advertisements, is very important. Do you disbelieve the importance of logos? I bet if you close your eyes, you can picture the Apple logo, the McDonald’s logo, the Chili’s logo, and thousands of others. Those logos are very important, and they establish the brand. When people see those logos, they know what to expect.

In addition to putting your logo on all of your coupons, flyers, menus, and everything else, you need to make sure that the interior of your restaurant meets the expectations of your customers. You need to have good quality restaurant seating that matches with your restaurant’s theme and the brand that you are trying so hard to promote. Your décor is equally important.

Consider all of the above when you start trying to brand your bar or restaurant. If you do, and if you keep studying branding and how effective it can be, you will find that people will know your logo, your establishment’s name, and what to expect, even if they haven’t yet visited.
