When it comes to the ideal meal, it is not only what you put on your plate it is all about the experience. In the atmosphere, the service, all details matter.
And no thing is more important but neglected more frequently than your commercial restaurant chairs. Consider it: a guest is allowed to spend all his meal time sitting. Comfortable, shaky, or ugly seat, this may easily make or break their opinion of your restaurant.
In the busy restaurants of large North American markets in the busy culinary centers of New York, or a busy Canadian metropolis like Vancouver or Toronto, then investing in the proper restaurant furniture is not an option it is a necessary. It is a complete guide to seating, based on a ten year history of experience and will take you through the essential options, materials and features that make your seating as successful as your menu.
The Reason Commercial-Grade Chairs are a Smart Investment:
The Strength Difference
You might like to think that a chair is a chair but when it comes to residential furniture and Commercial Seating, there is a great difference. The rush in a business environment is never-ending. Your dining room chair will experience the daily marathon of continuous use, constant movement and cleaning. Home chairs just do not have the features to stand under such pressure and would easily collapse.
Cost-Per-Use Value:
The workhorses of the hospitality industry are the Commercial Dining Chairs. They can withstand the most extreme conditions and have reinforced structures and powerful materials that can allow the busiest areas. This exact assembly prevents faults, thus leading to lower costs in the long term and less aggravating maintenance. A home chair can break down in a few months, but a commercial chair should serve several years, and worth your upfront cost.
Customer Comfort and Safety
When customers are comfortable they end up spending more time in their seats, and that may lead to more drinks or dessert. Better still, comfort makes them come back. Nobody would want to sit on hard, badly angled or unstable seats during his evening. Deciding to invest in long life restaurant seating that is also safe will provide a comfortable and safe atmosphere.
-
Strong and stable: Rock solid stability is an essential attribute that we cannot afford to take away. Commercial chairs bear dramatic mass and stable, splay legged shapes, which will not tip over.
-
Less Risk: Edges are not sharp which minimizes the risk of getting hurt. This natural safety provides the visitor with a secure and pleasant experience.
Basic Materials of commercial restaurant chairs.
Choose the material and decide the appearance, comfort, and, most importantly, maintenance needs of your chairs.
Metal Chairs: Strength, Resistance and Contemporary Design.
The industry leader is metal chairs that provide strong chairs with competitive prices and less care. They are almost unwearyiable and can be wiped off. They employ reinforced metals and all important joints are skillfully welded. Need a low maintenance and high durability solution, begin here. Check out our wide range of metal chairs at the metal chairs category page.
Wood Chairs: Character Development and Traditional Warmth.
Wood chairs are old fashioned and sturdy. Hardwoods are durable and strong, but they are also easily susceptible to scratches and watermarks, unless covered and well maintained. To evoke an aesthetic appeal of old fashion, check out our entire collection on our wooden chairs page.
Fabricated Chairs: Upholster Comfort and Sound Advantages.
A cushion seat is what is called luxury. The chairs with upholstering are more comfortable and suit best the places where the customers spend hours. The material, however, may absorb spills, stains and smells and will need regular and expert treatment.
The Triumphant Ware: Metal and Faux Leather.
In crowded environments, we recommend metal frame Faux Leather seats to get the most desired value. This robust blend provides a sturdy metal frame with a faux leather upholstery with a high end, spill and stain resistant washable finish. It is a long lasting and low maintenance product that offers better long-term value to busy restaurants.
Design of various types of restaurants.
Chair Size and Spacing: Seeing the Light.
Chair choice is not merely a matter of design, the size of your chair matters greatly to circulation and customer comfort. The right size will fit all and will also allow your employees to move freely.
Seat Height:
The standard is 18 inches above the floor, which fits normal table heights and most individuals are able to sit with their feet flat.
Seat Width:
The usual measure is 18 to 20 inches, not too thin or too wide.
Table Spacing:
Space between chairs and other tables should be at least 24 to 30 inches so that customers could lean back and also to allow free movement of servers.
