What Will You Know Before Ordering Your Restaurant Furniture？

Placing an order for restaurant furniture is big on the to-do list when it comes to opening or remodeling a restaurant, so how do you know when you’re ready?

There are three criteria you need to have figured out to successfully order your restaurant furniture without making costly errors. Hashing these out will help you choose the right design, the right size and amount, and set the right expectations for when the restaurant furniture will arrive at your location.

Are you ready to place your order? Let’s find out!

Your restaurant concept Theme Ideas

You don’t need to have table three’s artwork picked out, but you do need a general design idea that will help you select your furniture items. If your restaurant has a specific theme, it may be easier to choose furniture that will match versus an establishment that hasn’t sorted that out yet. For example, if your restaurant is going to have a 1950s retro diner theme, you’re going to want furniture that reflects that American retro 1950s diner furniture. Having a concept or theme in mind will help you select the furniture, whether it be seating, tables, or booths, that go with your vision and will look right in the finished layout.

Your restaurant space size

Measurements are key! Knowing the space you’re earmarking for dining is crucial to selecting the size of restaurant tables or restaurant booths that fit in your layout and support the amount of seats you want to offer. It will also help you to steer clear of bulkier furniture if you don’t have the room for it. Pay attention to footprints of bar stools and widths on restaurant booths to avoid purchasing furniture that pushes your spatial limits a little too much. This will help you get the most out of your square footage! In conjunction with how many seats you need, you can fill your space with furniture without running out of room.

Your restaurant furniture quantity

How many people are you trying to sit in your restaurant? Once you know how many patrons you can safely accommodate on your busiest day, you can use this number to identify the number of seats you need. This number of seats can be broken down into chair/bar stool seats, bench seats, or booth seating depending on how you want to get to your desired seat goal.

Nailing down these 3 criteria before you place your restaurant furniture order will make it so much easier to select your furniture and confidently purchase. Without having an idea of your concept, space and size, buying furniture will be a harder process than it needs to be. Keeping these must-knows in mind will make for a smooth as possible experience, and help you check this off your opening/remodel list that much faster!
