5 COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID WHILE BUYING RESTAURANT FURNITURE

Furniture is perhaps one of the most important aspects, which reflects the personality of a restaurant. It is therefore also a vital point in forming a perception in the customer’s mind. It could be just the comfort they feel, or the elegance and visual appeal, or the attractiveness of the colors used.

Apart from ensuring your furniture is in sync with the theme of your restaurant, let’s talk about some common mistakes to avoid in selecting your restaurant furniture.

Mistakes to avoid – a checklist

• Don’t avoid a floor plan

Your starting point should be measuring the space available in your restaurant, to avoid cramming the room with furniture. Make a floor plan and use an appropriate scale to evaluate ideas and options, to check if they would fit into the available space. Factor in practicality as well as aesthetics to complete the look of the place, without compromising on comfort.

If your theme requires you to create area or table separations, you could opt for a floor standing Frame Lite. It is a lightweight metallic frame screen, ideal for a contemporary and modern look.

• Don’t compromise on space

Consider keeping ample of space between furniture so that customers and staff can comfortably move around. There should be ample space for chairs to be moved back. Your staff should be able to serve efficiently and quickly.

In case you wish to intersperse chairs with armchairs, try Joanna armchair. The arms would slide in comfortably under the tables. With an upholstered seat and wooden leg frame, this wooden armchair with cushion brings a charming mid-century modern look to your interior space.

We at UHS International can offer in-house assistance in designing a space with recommended products.

Due to the times we are in, try to factor in a one-way system flow through the restaurant for customers using the bathroom or waiters to the kitchen.

• Don’t forget customer comfort

Concerns about customer comfort vary depending on the type of your restaurant. In a fast food restaurant, everything should spell speed, like smooth table tops for easy cleaning. Whereas a fine dining restaurant means customers would stay longer, and hence their chairs should be suited for long term seating. The Horizon Hole Armchair, upholstered with fine fabric and full back support, would be more comfortable for a long time seating. 

• Don’t ignore durability

Don’t make the mistake of choosing style over practicality and durability. While coordinating furniture, choose those that would be long lasting with hassle-free maintenance and moisture resistance, for best returns on your investment.

This is where contract tested furniture is essential to ensure it can handle heavy usage and a high rate of table turnover. All our products are BIFMA certified.

• Don’t ignore environment friendly furniture

If you have options available, choose environment friendly ones like furniture made from reclaimed wood, recycled metal and plastics, or even vintage (testimony that they have already weathered through many years of usage). A more casual or outdoor restaurant theme can be fitted with bamboo furniture.

We offer recycled wood terrazzo table tops, smile plastic terrazzo table tops, recycled glass or reclaimed wood bleachers designed by our company Table Place Chairs, crafted by Lakdi The Furniture Co.
