Restaurant Booths Basics

Find dining booths that match the theme and decor of your restaurant

Dining booths are manufactured using a variety of different materials. Some booths have cushions and others have solid seats. When you are deciding on the booths for your restaurant, you have to take the theme, decor and layout of the restaurant into account.

Once you have made a tentative seating plan for the dining room, consider these restaurant booths basics to help you choose the booths which best fulfill the needs of your restaurant:

1. Help the guests get comfortable while eating by offering upholstered dining booths.

2. Use wooden booths to highlight a rustic restaurant.

3. Find tables that compliment the dining room decor to put between the booths.

 

Consider upholstered restaurant booths

Upholstered restaurant booths are available in numerous fabrics. Vinyl is the most common fabric as it is easy to clean. Once you decide on the fabric you want to cover the booth, you have to choose a color and pattern. When you do this, you should keep the overall theme and decor of your restaurant in mind.
Try: Foodservice Warehouse and Jay's Furniture Products are restaurant booth providers. Foodservice Warehouse sells standard single and double booths from numerous restaurant booth manufacturers. Jay's Furniture Products is a restaurant booth maker that sells standard and custom made booths.

Decide if wooden dining booths fit the decor of your restaurant

Wooden dining booths are a popular option for rustic restaurants and barbecue restaurants. Seafood restaurants have also used restaurant booths and tables made of wood to serve boiled crab and crawfish straight on the table. In most cases, varnishing the wood makes the booth easier to clean.
Try: Millennium Seating has a varied selection of wooden restaurant booths for sale, including single booths, double booths and full booth sets with a table attached. The Bar Essentials sells double and single wooden booths in varying lengths.

Order tables to use between the restaurant booths

While there are some restaurant booths that have a table attached, the majority of booths are sold without a table. Finding tables that compliment the dining booths in your restaurant provide a consistent decorating theme for the dining room. Make sure that you order tables that are the same length or a little shorter than the booth to avoid it sticking out past the edge of the booth.
Try: FashionSeating.com sells table tops and bases separately to ensure you can find items that work with your decor. You can find round and rectangle flip up tables that attach to booths at ivgStores. These tables make cleaning the floor between the booths easier.

 

• When you order dining booths, look for booths with removable seats and back cushions to make cleaning the booth and crumb catcher easier.
