We are happy to tell you that Affordable Seating is now selling Dinnerware as well as restaurant furniture, meaning that you can save both time and money by getting everything in the place.
Restaurant Furniture
Over the past year we have given quite a few tips about marketing and managing a successful restaurant. However, designing a restaurant in such a way as to be both comfortable and efficient is a hard thing to do.
We have written a few articles about Feng Shui for restaurant and how to use it for our advantage but there are some even more basic aspects that need to be taken into account. Things that at first seem simple and obvious and are therefore often overlooked. We are talking about correctly choosing the furniture to your dining venue.
For example, when you buy restaurant tables, it is often cheaper and easier to buy table tops and table bases separately rather than buying the table in one piece (shipping charges alone are worth buying the parts separately). The only problem with this is knowing which base goes with which top. You can buy the strongest base but it might mean that you are paying more than you have to. And although for one table this won’t affect the price much, if you need a large number of items the price adds up to a significant amount.
This is why on Affordable Seating ‘s site you can find a number of tools that will help you in choosing exactly the items you need. You can find there a diagram that helps you match the table size to the number of diners and another one that will tell you the base size that best matches that top. (more…)
Christmas is only a few days away so all we want to do in this post is wish you a merry Christmas and happy holidays!
If you are planning to start any kind of business, you have to make sure you will consider the expectations of your customers. Always remember that customers are always right. Once you consider the expectations of your customers, especially in terms of dining out, you can easily attract more business.
Comfortable Seating and Fine Furniture
Let us first start with the basic expectations of customers when dining out. There are some surveys made which state that customers are expecting to be seated in comfort in a restaurant. Comfort is a factor for any dining venue with the exception of fast food restaurants where this is a less important aspect.
Comfort is not only about the chair you seat in; most customers are also looking at the rest of the restaurant furniture. Make sure that there are matching chairs and tables, wall paintings and other kinds of furniture that will spice up your restaurants and enhance the décor.

So you’ve bought a bar and are looking to be the next Gordon Ramsey, without the excessive swearing at the staff. Well, design can make or break a bar, You’re going to have to set up a design so that you don’t become one of those statistics of closed bars within the first two years. You’ve chosen a hard profession, but with a little help, your design can go a long way in making customers feel comfortable and at home while they eat your delectable dishes. Here’s some basic restaurant design tips.
Entrance Tips
- You’re going to need ample space for a hostess station where they can welcome guests and see them to their tables. Also consider adequate space for patrons waiting for a table.
- Some restaurants let you pay at a cash register once they’ve finished. Make this an area on its own where payment can be taken care of. This is not needed if you intend for your customers to pay at the table after their meal.
- Provide seats for customers who are waiting for tables. No one likes to stand for an hour watching those tasty dishes brush past them.
- If your restaurant has a bar attached to it, you can use this as a waiting area for customers who have to wait for a table. Assuming your restaurant is a hit and the wait is long.
Bar
- Occasionally used as a waiting area, some full service bars even offer small meals along with drinks so that patrons don’t have to wait to begin eating. Serving small portions may be best so they don’t spoil their appetite on gin and steak. (more…)
