Restaurant furniture plays an important role in creating a pleasant atmosphere and in presenting your establishment. In this article, discover our essentials for furnishing your café-restaurant!

Restaurant tables that are welcoming to your customers

First of all, let's start with the restaurant tables and chairs. These are the basics in restaurant design and for welcoming your customers. It is necessary to select comfortable and durable furniture to ensure the well-being of your customers during their meals. A comfortable customer with enough space to eat is a satisfied customer. As we mentioned in our article "How to choose tables for your restaurant", there are several types and sizes of restaurant tables. Each one will bring a different look to your restaurant layout: round, square, oval or rectangular. For practicality's sake, angular tables are preferable, as they can be more easily arranged and will allow you to accommodate different group sizes: 2, 4, 6 or more people! Tables with a 70x70 cm table top are perfect so that you can adjust the layout of your restaurant, depending on how busy you are.Rectangular tables L110cm are ideal for groups of 4 people. Tradis restaurant tables are made of solid wood, sturdy and can match different decoration styles. To protect your table top, it is recommended to apply a protective varnish. This will prevent liquid stains from penetrating deep into the wood. You can combine your table tops with an attractive steel leg. This will add a touch of industrial style. And a little extra: the square table legs make it easy to clean your dining area. They make it easy to move around and have a large footprint to provide stability. Finally, choose the most comfortable seat! Armchairs or chairs, the main thing is that your customers can sit for hours. The selection of furniture will depend on the type of establishment you have.

Professional furniture to create a friendly bar 

In order to create a friendly space in your café-restaurant, you can set up a bar with a few high tables and bar stools
