Restaurant Furniture Supplier Tips
Meet and Eat Furniture
As a professional in the restaurant business, you will know how crucial it is to create the best possible environment to complement your cuisine and help your guests feel welcome, comfortable, and suitably entertained.
Contract Furniture Store provides high-quality, stylish, and durable furniture solutions for restaurants, cafes, pubs, and bars.
1. Align Furniture with Your Restaurant’s Theme
Your restaurant’s furniture should reflect its concept and brand identity. Whether aiming for rustic charm, modern minimalism, or classic elegance, selecting pieces that align with your theme enhances the overall dining experience.
2. Prioritise Comfort and Durability
Comfortable seating encourages guests to linger, increasing the likelihood of repeat visits. Opt for chairs and booths with ergonomic designs and quality upholstery. Durability is equally essential; choose materials that withstand heavy use and are easy to maintain.
3. Optimise Space with Smart Layouts
Efficient space utilisation ensures smooth traffic flow and maximises seating capacity. Consider a mix of seating options—such as banquettes, two-tops, and communal tables—to accommodate different group sizes and enhance flexibility.
4. Select Appropriate Table Sizes and Heights
Tables should provide ample space for dining without overcrowding the area. Standard dining tables are 750mm (N.B. typically 30 inches) high, while bar tables range from 1000-1050mm (N.B. generally 40–42 inches). Ensure consistency in table heights to maintain a cohesive look.
5. Incorporate Versatile and Modular Furniture
Modular furniture allows for easy reconfiguration, adapting to various events and peak times. Pieces like stackable chairs and extendable tables offer flexibility and are ideal for dynamic restaurant environments.
6. Focus on Quality Materials and Finishes
Invest in furniture made from high-quality materials like solid wood, metal, or durable plastics. Finishes should resist stains and scratches, ensuring longevity and ease of cleaning.
7. Consider Outdoor Furniture for Al Fresco Dining
Select weather-resistant furniture designed to withstand the elements if your restaurant offers outdoor seating. Materials like treated wood, aluminium, and synthetic wicker are popular for durability and style.
8. Partner with Trusted Suppliers
Collaborate with reputable furniture suppliers who offer a wide range of options and customisation services.
