Choosing the Right Patio Seating

elaine cafeSummer is the best time to make optimal use of your patio or terrace. Outdoor seating is very popular with diners, especially when the weather is warm and comfortable. Customers tend to prefer sitting outside to enjoy the sun and enjoy the outdoor surroundings whether they are enjoying a meal on the backyard patio of a bistro or sipping coffee at an outdoor café. Making optimal use of your outdoor seating can be very lucrative for your business. There are many choices when it comes to patio seating and it’s important to make an informed decision when you are shopping.

There are many choices when shopping for outdoor furniture. A smart option is to go with the stainless steel patio chair and stainless steel table top. Stainless steel has many advantages over other kinds of materials. For one, stainless steel is waterproof and rustproof. This is important for outdoor seating because if the furniture is left out in the rain or gets wet when hosing down the patio the furniture won’t get tarnished or leave rust stains on the patio. Stainless steel is also very durable and looks new for many years. It cannot be infested with insects, get bent out of shape or develop mold, which are problems that can affect wood furniture.  It’s very easy to clean stainless steel making it more sanitary as well. Most people like stainless steel for its elegant, contemporary look which can be paired with matching bar stools and tables. Stainless steel is also 100% recyclable.

Another option for durable patio furniture is the iron patio chairs. Like stainless steel, when zinc-plated, iron is rustproof, water proof and UV resistant. The tough iron frame is unbendable and is also cannot be infested with insects or mold. Iron tends to be heavier than stainless steel, which can be an advantage because they are unlikely to get blown away by wind. Some retailers offer iron chairs in a variety in a variety of styles along with matching outdoor tables and bar stools.

For a more exotic or tropical look consider faux wicker, faux rattan or aluminum bamboo patio chairs. Faux wicker and rattan are synthetic materials that are weatherproof and very attractive. These outdoor chairs are usually paired with a lightweight, aluminum frame and are stackable. Faux wicker and faux rattan have the advantage of looking just like real wicker and rattan, but is much more durable and can come in a variety of upholstery options. The aluminum bamboo chair comes with an aluminum frame that looks like real bamboo and is also weather resistant and is usually upholstered in a faux rattan bamboo seat and back. (more…)

A diner may have more seating capacity while fine dining restaurants tend to put more effort on ambiance.

Choosing a go to place for lunch meetings, dinner dates, family gatherings or for a quick bite is easy if you know the basics about the restaurant’s menu, ambiance, seating capacity and location.

FAST FOOD: Also known as quick service restaurants which focus more on convenience, low prices, and serving the most number of customer in a minimum amount of time. The food menu is limited to burgers, fries, hotdogs, burritos, fried chicken and so on. It’s probably the most appealing type for most people on the go. The interiors of a fast food restaurant usually have bright colors such as yellow and red. They use metal chairs to give a strong support to their heaviest customers. The tables usually have reversible table tops or other type of laminate. These types of table tops are usually scratch and stain resistant and are easy to care for. Resin table tops are also popular for quick service restaurants as they are very durable and resistant to scratches, stains and nicks and have the appearance of wood.

The table tops may be laminate or reversible table tops or a made of granite as these table tops are very durable and easy to care for. Steel is another common table top material for outdoor use or to blend in with a modern, industrial motif.

They are also easy to clean.

 

BUFFET: A go to place for people with big appetite where you can eat all you can. This self-service restaurant is usually packed with long tables for families. Seats vary from wooden to metal, depending on the kind of cuisine that they offer. Reversible table tops, laminate and veneer wood table tops are common for these types of restaurants because they are easy to care for. Restaurants and hotels that have buffets sometimes also have plastic tables and banquet stack chairs for extra capacity that can be easily stacked and stored.

 

CAFÉ OR BISTRO: Menu items can be simple; they usually serve coffee and sandwiches, and can range up to full entrees. This is a perfect go to place for casual dates; it has an intimate and relaxed ambiance. Outdoor seating is a trademark for cafes where they may enjoy their meal or coffee while smoking.

Restaurant Furniture Safety Tips

Many restaurant owners overlook the topic of restaurant safety when it comes to providing a safe customer experience to all those who choose to eat or drink at their establishment. As a business owner you will want to avoid any possible liabilities involving your customers or employees. When it comes to the safety of your restaurant, it should be taken just as seriously as sanitary food practices.

 

Imagine a bar stool that has an uneven leg which will make it unstable. When a customer sits down on the stool they will likely not be expecting it and may possibly fall and injure themselves within the first couple minutes of being in your bar or restaurant. A loose seat on a bar stool can have the same effect. A customer will certainly not enjoy falling off one of your stools and will be even less thrilled with you if they manage to get injured in the process. Tall tables with a pedestal leg can also suffer from a similar problem if one of their legs is missing the tip that it rests on. A person putting a little bit of weight on the table by doing something as simple as leaning on it can result in the whole table flipping and spilling the food and drinks all over the customers and the floor.

 

Another restaurant furniture that you want to keep an eye on are the chairs. The legs of every chair should be checked on a regular basis to make sure that they are not loose or tip when sat in. Failure to check your chairs’ legs and backs can result in a customer falling off the chair and potentially suffering a back injury. Be sure to tighten any screws that connect the base of the seat to the seat backs to try to avoid this as much as possible.

 

Not only do you have to worry about restaurant furniture having legs that are uneven and loose screws, you also need to be sure that the material the chair is made out of doesn’t start to splinter. Wood chairs will of course be the most common material of chair to have this problem, however plastic chairs can degrade and get splinters as well, which will tend to just pinch your customers when they sit in them. Remember that a customer running into problems with your restaurant furniture will just be a reason that may cause them to go somewhere else next time.

Maximizing Restaurant Revenue with Good Design

restaurant designWhen a person builds or opens a restaurant, the layout is a major aspect in creating a successful restaurant. A restaurant with efficient service has many happy customers and many return customers. Happy customers + efficient service= profits and longevity for the venue.

When creating the perfect restaurant, plan it out before you jump into the decorations and placements of the furniture. Place the bar stools around the bar either at the center of the room or at the back of the room in order to keep everyone happy. For example, in some restaurants the bar and bar stools are located in a room off to the side or sometimes right in the middle of the room if it is a sports type restaurant.

Some restaurant owners will make a more complicated pathway for a guest to walk through from the front door to the tables. By doing so, the waiters and staff will have more time to help all of the current customers and have sufficient time to clear off the tables and clean them. Placing the restaurant chairs and tables in such a way may slow down the customers’ turnover slightly but will help to minimize walk-outs. (more…)
