Looking for new furniture is an extensive research and careful consideration of diverse factors.
We have gathered some good tips that will assist you in choosing the best FF&E solutions for your restaurant. Let’s have a look.
Theme
Your furniture design will be influenced by your restaurant’s concept and style. In fact, Food and furniture’s selection should be one-on-one. If your plan is to open a sea food/ lounge restaurant by the sea you should focus on relaxed seating in calming colors like soft white or light grey.
Tables in white or natural wood. Sky blue or dove grey sofas where you can relax into. Use airy shades and modern takes on traditional prints. The light should be moderate, not to radiant, to calm fatigue, stress, anxiety. This is what a restaurant by the sea should be: a relaxing place where to dine at.
If instead your idea is to have a south American restaurant, your goal should be to achieve a richly-layered décor, colorful spaces and painted wall or lush, wallpaper with blooming flower and amazon forest.
Use cane wood chairs which will bring your décor together with its classic touch and modern look. The settings will have to create the balance between elegance and functionality. In fact, the wooden structure and the woven backrest are designed to meet the ideal requirements for today’s commercial interior spaces. Think about the high traffic environments: you will need durable seating which will stand up to the rigors while providing comfortability to the guests.

Comfortable, Durable & Functional
If it is the right furniture: it doesn’t take long to get comfortable in it.
Think about the high traffic, the number of people which will use that furniture everyday. Choose solid structure and resistant upholstery that don’t tear apart after few months.
For lounge area the best is dense hardwood frame like walnut or teak which are the most durable. Leather is the long-lasting fabric choices for the upholstery. It is easy to clean and maintain since spillage of food and drinks is very likely to happen in a restaurant setting.
If you don’t like the material and you want to have a more cozy environment, chose synthetic microfiber. This is the most durable because is tightly woven and create a powerful layer of protection. Think about antimicrobic fabric and surface. Select multi-purpose neutral tables and chairs that can be moved around easily and used in different setups depending on your necessities.
Never compromise on the quality of the furniture due to budget constraints. Spending less at the beginning may help you save little money but this will require expensive repairs or replacement down the line.

Space
You should leave at least 150cm per table, including chair space. This allows for free movement of servers between stations and the kitchen. This spacing also provides enough comfortable room for the guests to move around. …
Remember that the dining area is very important but so is the food display, the service station, the bar station, the casher counters, the food preparation area. For the counters always use material like solid surface because with the extremely low porosity keeps bacteria away, promoting a cleaner and more sanitary countertop. Stainless steel is also good: most chefs will attest that is nearly indestructible material which stands up to the toughest treatment. A proper layout is important to define where to locate all these piece of furniture.
Remember not to congest the area with too many pieces of furniture to maximize the space and accommodate more customers, especially nowadays where privacy, distance and safety becomes the major keys attributes for a Restaurant’s success.
