Restaurant tables account for the vast majority of the space available in your diner’s interior design. Besides serving a vitally important practical function, however, they also have a significant aesthetic impact on the overall appearance of your establishment. Especially when designing or picking from a selection of tableaux, tabletops should be carefully examined. A table in a restaurant needs to be large enough to comfortably allow your customers to dine. A standard rule of thumb is to provide 2 square feet per client in order to accommodate the cutlery on a table. Before we get into the different types of tabletops, let’s talk about how the shape of the table affects the dining experience.
Mood and atmosphere
Table of Contents
First and foremost, think about your overall mood and ambiance carefully before you begin. What kind of environment do you want to create? What does it look and feel like that could assist you in delivering this atmosphere to your customers with the least amount of effort? Following the creation of a clear picture in your mind, shopping for the appropriate restaurant table tops will be a breeze.
Materials
First and foremost, look for the tabletop material that best complements the appearance of your restaurant as well as your requirements. Wherever possible, look for options that are simple to clean and simple to maintain. Wood is the most common material that most people who use their tables on a daily basis will look for in a natural material that will hold up well to a lot of use. Among the many benefits of solid wood table tops is the fact that they can be sanded and refinished over the course of time, whereas other table tops do not allow for this.
Build Quality
The highest level of quality should always be at the top of your priority list. Along with durability, you should consider the quality of a table and/or tabletop before making a purchase – though, in most cases, durability should not take precedence over quality entirely. For example, a household dining table that is extremely durable will simply not do in a restaurant setting. A high-quality table top that will last for years is a wise investment – unless you plan on changing your table top on a regular basis, of course.
Form
Even the shape should be taken into account. Rectangles, circles, and places are often employed by restaurants and bars, so consider who not only appeals most to your audience but also fits in with your space most easily. Consider how much space you have to maneuver about and your customers! Comfort, as always, should be a priority – you never want to make any sacrifices for it. Square table tops add a classic look to your dining room while also allowing you to butt tables up against each other for larger groups. They ensure that all customers are evenly spaced and that they are generally closer together than rectangular table tops.
The overall theme
Finally, we arrive at the central theme. Given the wide range of options when it comes to selecting the type of table top that will best meet your requirements, it is critical to consider how you will be using the table before making a final decision. This is also an important consideration – does your restaurant follow a particular theme or have a particular appearance? What kind of environment do your key consumers wish to return to? Remember that visual appeal is as important as, if not more important than, the cuisine you serve. Which looks do you think would be the most effective for you? Are you looking to create a space that is both modern and trendy? It’s possible that you’re looking for something made of glass.
According to your budget and restaurant ambiance, you can select from a variety of materials and finishes to provide your guests with an exclusive dining experience. Restaurant tabletops, from fine dining to fast food, from the cafeteria to casual dining, are simple to clean and maintain. Incorporating their properties into your restaurant’s design will hopefully give you an edge over your competitors in terms of aesthetics and functionality.
