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.

Getting Your Wood Restaurant Furniture Ready for Winter

Nov 03
Posted by Daniel in Restaurant Chairs, Restaurant Furniture, restaurant tips and advice

wood restaurant chairsMuddy footprints paired with that brush of cool air each time the door is opened. This is a true sign that winter is just around the corner and for many restaurant owners, this season can be a big challenge especially when it comes to their restaurant furniture.

If the summer season is the perfect time for restaurant owners to let their customers enjoy some great time under the sun out in the restaurant patio, winter proves to be an entirely different case. People would rather stay inside the restaurant and spend some cozy time sipping coffee and eating some steaming dishes. But aside from making sure that your customers are kept comfortable during their dining experience in your restaurant, you should also not forget to look after your restaurant’s furniture, especially since the harsh winter weather can also indirectly expose them to possible damages.

Protecting your restaurant furniture is a must particularly when it is made of wood and is used by wet clients. Humidity changes in the air is also a fact that might affect your chairs.

Winter poses the risk of water being absorbed into wood furniture such as the tables and chairs. The water that is absorbed, can eventually, soften the wood and create swollen spots and before you know it, your restaurant furniture might already be irreparable.

This is the reason why proper and constant maintenance of your furniture is essential all year round and especially in the winter. Make sure that it is always dry and properly wiped clean every time your customers finish eating. (more…)

Fun Ideas for Your Child Centric Restaurant

Aug 29
Posted by Daniel in fun, Restaurant Furniture, restaurant tips and advice

If you are running a family friendly restaurant that focuses on children, then you will want to make sure that you have everything that a child centric restaurant should have. Here are a few fun ideas that you might want to incorporate into your restaurant.

What screams fun for kids? Games are an obvious choice. You can have many different types of games, from video games to skee ball. You will want to make sure that there are games for children of different ages, and it might be a good idea to throw in something that the adults are going to like as well.

Seating is something that you need to consider carefully. Remember that in a restaurant that is specifically for children, they are going to be running around. Make sure that you have enough space to allow for that. Restaurant booths will help to easily divide the space and will allow for more “running around” space. You will also need to make sure that you have seating that is right for both children and adults. Booster seats, for the younger kids to sit on, are a great idea and they are something that you do not want to overlook.

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.

Coupon is a word that you generally only think of when you are heading to the grocery store or maybe a restaurant. You can use them for your bar as well though, and they can be very effective.
