By Lena Stephenson


If you are planning to open a restaurant, deciding on the type of cuisine and chefs to be hired are some of the important things to consider. Aside from that, consideration to the type of furniture that is to be introduced in the restaurant must be considered as well. After all, it is the furniture which will dictate the ambiance and setting of your restaurant. The truth is, your customers will never enjoy the food if the features of the place is not interesting and gloomy.

Restaurant seating such as chairs, couches, booths are essential in the overall interior of the place. So, before starting to make purchases of furniture for restaurants, make sure to consider other factors which may affect your business. Of course, you have to consider the size of the restaurant. Compact booths are ideal options for smaller place rather than choosing a large table and chair.

Remember that you also need to maximize the number of tables and chairs without sacrificing the flow in the area of kitchen and dining room. Before buying your furniture pieces, make sure to know the exact space you have that will be allocated to the seating. This way, you will be able to decide which one to choose and the right sizes of seats and tables to be used.

The design of the dining place must be considered as well. While compact booths might fit well to any casual eatery, chairs covered with fabric would be a great option for fine dining places. The prices for these pieces will also immediately add up, it can consume a portion of your budget.

If you love a specific style or design of chairs, make sure to ask yourself first if you really need that or a cheaper version of that is sufficient. If you prefer a used dining seating, you can also save more money when you open a restaurant. You check first the joints before using them to ensure that they are not loose.

When purchasing chairs and other furniture items, find pieces with designs that can be cleaned easily. Avoid those styles with various designs as they are harder to wipe down and keep free from other debris. So, if you are purchasing chairs with fabric seats, make sure to have the fabric treated with stain resisters. You also need to plan a budget for a professional cleaning service at least once every two years.

If you are planning on buying a couch and other comfy seating for your waiting area or lobby, make sure they are covered and durable in an easy to clean material, such as leather. Of course, your lobby furniture must complement to the entire theme of the place, just like your bar or dining room. You should consider that when choosing fabric, styles and size.

You must avoid purchasing those non commercial pieces. The main reason why seating are costly is because of their designs used in holding up the wear and tear of the daily use of customers. Just like the dinner ware used, they should be made to last for the coming years and durable as well. If you are buying these seats new, , make sure to keep the warranty.

Before choosing an item, make sure to consider the seat numbers in a space, customer size and the table height. Once you have considered those factors, you can now choose the right sizes of pieces. Keep in mind that choosing the size and making of arrangements is an art that should be done in all restaurants.
