Purchasing Restaurant Booths For Your Dining Establishment

By Essie Osborn


Remodeling or opening a new restaurant is on the horizon for you and you need to make some important decisions about the seating that you are going to provide for your customers. Of course, you will have all the usual small and large squares and rounds but restaurant booths also sound appealing for quiet and discrete meetings and meals. This will help add comfort, charm and privacy to your establishment.

The seating in these intimate and private areas can be made of a variety of fabrics and materials including leather, wood, vinyl, or upholstery fabric. Choosing one that best fits the type of restaurant service you are offering will enhance your decor. For example, a fine dining establishment would probably use leather or a brocade fabric. A coffee shop would most likely utilize a vinyl or wood for easy cleaning and maintenance.

Check with restaurant supply companies to view what they have in stock. If they do not have what you need, they will provide you with sources to contact. Online companies are also great sources for ideas and descriptions of the different types available. Be sure to map out your requirements and measure the area before placing your order.

If you have a very tight budget, there are often used furnishings of this type available at auctions and business closing sales. They can be reconstructed to fit the spaces you have designated. They can also be refinished or reupholstered to match your decor. These special additions to your venue will be very well worth the time, labor and materials to make them work in your facility.

If your floor plan is a very odd shape or you have many nooks and corners of uneven proportions, the furniture may need to be custom made. Fitting the benches into the spaces will be your main challenge and you can either purchase tables and adjust them to fit or have them constructed especially for the space required.

Always keep your customer in mind when designing a new floor plan. The benches and tables should be placed where quiet and intimacy are a priority but they are still easily accessible. They work well along a long wall but are also very appealing in the corners of a dining area. Place them out of the high traffic employee and guest paths and away from the kitchen doors to keep the ambiance intact.

This type of furniture and layout works well in both formal and casual dining locations. Bakeries, fast food establishments, breakfast spots and even some convenience stores add these seating arrangements to provide quiet and quick seating for eating out and conversation. Fine dining establishments and upscale steak or seafood houses can also provide this seating for intimate and romantic meals or for important business discussions.

Finding the perfect furnishings for a new food establishment can be a challenge but in the end, it is well worth your extra efforts. Giving your customers a cozy spot for romantic meals or a quiet corner for business meetings can go far in promoting your place of business. Always keep clients' needs and wants in mind when planning the perfect floor arrangements for your establishment.
