Kids Friendly Restaurant

Jan 25
Posted by Daniel in fun, Restaurant, restaurant layout, restaurant seating, Restaurant Seating Design, restaurant tips and advice

Today when people are busy working all day long they feel like they have less time to spend as a family during the work week. This is why many families like to go out with their children for dinner. This way they are saving time preparing the meal at home and spending it with the kids while also letting the kids have a fun outing as a family.

But this means that the restaurants they choose to visit must be kids friendly.

So, what things would be found in a restaurant that was family oriented?

Firstly, ask yourself what would a family expect to get in such a restaurant.  What kind of seating outlay would there be?  It would have to have plenty of space in between the table, chairs and booths so that the parents can move freely between their place and their children. Also kids like to run around and move from place to place so needs to taken into account as well. And don’t have floors with carpets, it will get way too dirty. However if kids are able to freely run around then a soft  indoor-outdoor carpet should be used, as that is very easy to clean.

This is where the seating outlay would come in.  Try to plan out where the seating will go before putting anything in the place.  There should be a section for big families with loud kids and ones that are small and quiet.  Also think about using restaurant booths for a kid friendly atmosphere.  A mix of dining booths and restaurant chairs and tables is the optimal idea when trying to cater to a mixed crowed.

11 Tips for Finding Quality Cheap Restaurant Furniture

Dec 20

Restaurant FurnitureThe holidays are a great time for most of us because we get to spend more time with our family, but they can also be hard on the wallet, especially in these times.

However, even today new restaurants and venues are opening and old ones need to keep up with the competition. As any business owner knows, in order to survive and succeed we need to be very smart with our money.

This is why we’ve made this list of tips to help you find new, cheap restaurant furniture without having to compromise on the quality.

1. Take your time – If possible start your furniture “hunt” at least a month before you need them. It takes time to find the right furniture for your venue and you need to allow enough time for shipping. Don’t forget, express shipping is available but it costs more.

2. Shop online – When you shop online you can easily compare prices from different stores. Buying from a local store has its benefits but sometimes an online store that is not local might have cheaper prices, sales or discounts on shipping which can bring down the overall cost of your order.

3. Go metal– For the most part, metal restaurant chairs are cheaper than wood ones. However, if you have your heart set on wood restaurant chairs then look for items that are on sale.

4. Keep it simple – the more features a chair has the higher its price will be. A standard black frame finish is usually the cheapest option and will match almost any décor. Go for a standard wood or vinyl seat and, if you have time to do it yourself, look for chairs that come with the seat detached.

5. Buy in-stock items – By not ordering custom made restaurant furniture you save a lot of money and time. Commercial furniture stores usually have a stock of ready-made furniture that is ready to ship at a days’ notice. This means that the quick-ship or in-stock items are not only cheaper than custom made ones but they ship faster too.

How to Spot Quality Commercial Furniture

Dec 12
Posted by Daniel in Commercial Seating, Restaurant, Restaurant Chairs, Restaurant Furniture, restaurant seating

Restaurant FurnitureWhen you are furnishing your restaurant, finding quality seating is an important step.  While style and practicality are important elements, finding durable seating that will last for years is equally important.  To find the right furniture for your restaurant, there are several factors you should consider.  The following is a list of helpful tips that will teach you how to spot quality commercial furniture as you shop.

  • Look for chairs that come fully assembled. Manufacturers who do all of the assembly themselves can inspect each chair to make sure it meets their standards.  Manufacturers who sell assembled chairs are also more likely to address concerns you may have about the quality of your chairs.  Assembling the large number of chairs you need for a restaurant can be very time consuming as well, using time that could be spent doing other, more important tasks.
  • Ask if the chairs you are purchasing have been tested for weight and durability. Many chairs that are advertised for commercial use are better suited for home use as they cannot stand up to the constant use that is required in a restaurant setting.  Along the same line, ask the manufacturer if they specialize in restaurant or commercial furniture, which can give you an idea of the quality of their products and their suitability for restaurant use. One such quality standard is the BIFMA standard for commercial furniture products. (more…)

Choosing the Right Furniture for Your Restaurant

Nov 29
Posted by Daniel in Restaurant, Restaurant Furniture, restaurant seating, Restaurant Seating Design

Restaurant FurnitureCreating the perfect restaurant requires a lot of ingredients- and not just the ones you use to cook with!  Chances are, your guests will never see the inside of your kitchen, but they will enjoy their meal in the comfort of the seating area of your restaurant.  This is why choosing the right furniture for your restaurant is so important.

When you are ready to select new or replacement furniture for your establishment, there are some important things to consider:

  • What conditions will your furniture be exposed to?  If you are opening an outdoor café, your furniture will likely get wet, snowy, and even muddy.  Furniture for outdoor establishments needs to be rugged while still providing a comfortable and welcoming spot for diners.  If you will only be using furniture indoors, you have more options in terms of materials and fabrics for seating.  You should select restaurant furniture that will stand up to the every day use it will see.
  • Who are your clientele? Furniture for an upscale dining establishment will see less wear and tear than the booths in a family-friendly diner.  If you plan to cater to kids, think about the spills and stains that are likely to result from kids dining at your restaurant.  You will want to look for sturdy furniture, stain resistant and easy to clean fabrics, not to mention, durable finishes. If you plan to attract grown-up diners, you will still need to balance the look of luxury with the need for easy to clean materials. (more…)

Quintessential Seating with Restaurant Booths

Nov 23
Posted by Daniel in Booths, Commercial Seating

Restaurant Booth

Restaurant booths top the furniture list of any restaurant or diner.

Nowadays most people prefer to add classy and decorative couches and sofas to better utilize the space in their restaurants to the maximum. The trend of fine dining has made restaurant owners think of ways to provide the most comfortable and enjoyable dining experience in their area using their restaurant’s furniture to do so.

Compared to the normal stylish chairs, booths have several advantages some of which are:

  • Comfort and intimacy – Usually you see simple plastic or designer chairs in a restaurant but nowadays people prefer to enjoy a more comfortable and intimate evening which is best provided by booths. Unlike chairs which usually expose the people to the surroundings, restaurant booths are designed to provide more privacy to the people sitting in them. This creates for the diners a nice, private and less crowded experience.
  • Décor – Once you decorate your restaurant with booths according to your theme you will notice a big change in your restaurant. It will add both charm and charisma to your restaurant’s space. This kind of charm will not be provided to the same degree if you base your decoration solely on chairs. (more…)
