Restaurant Furniture And Equipment Areas To Consider

Restaurant furniture and equipment can be found both in specialized and non-specialized stores. Before you open your facility, you will have to carefully think over which items need to be ordered – after all, it is impossible to take off the counts delivery time. To avoid confusion, take some time to make a list of restaurant furniture and equipment you are going to use. Make sure to approach those as two separate tasks.

Restaurant furniture

Bar – no restaurant can function without a bar. Yet, you will have to think if your bar is going to be more of a functional spot (where drinks are prepared), or should it also have a comfortable relaxation zone for your customers. If you are going for the last option, make sure to order a spacious bar stand and go with bar chairs  rather than stools.

Dining area – what are you going to have here – compact table and simple chairs? Spacious tables and luxurious armchairs? Perhaps, a simple table and booth seats? The choice will mostly depend on the theme of your restaurant.

Indoor versus outdoor furniture – if your facility has an open terrace, you will also have to think over which kind of outdoor furniture will be the best one for your restaurant. If you want to save yourself as much trouble as you possibly can – go with something that does not require a lot of maintenance – glass, for example, or fine quality MDF.

Restaurant equipment

Restaurant equipment can be found in on site and online stores. The most popular areas normally include:

Bar equipment – beverage, beer and cocktail equipment should better be ordered in bulk. If you have little experience in the area, you should probably hire a bar tender first, or simply contact a professional decorator – he/ she will offer you a lot of insight on the subject.

Kitchen equipment – sinks, tables, as well as the widest range of cookware should be of the highest quality. This is going to be a solid investment, so you should order only durable and fine quality items.

Spare and maintenance parts – and, of course, if you are running a restaurant for a while, you already know that some parts (like table tops or stool cushions) require replacement from time to time.

Of course, restaurant furniture and equipment can be bought at specialized stores. Equipment, in particular, is one of those things you should better order at specialized platforms. Furniture, however, can be bought anywhere – there is often no need to look for ‘restaurant’ targeted site to get some bar stools. In fact, big furniture stores, even if they do not have a rigid focus towards restaurant businesses, can often offer you a fantastic selection of different furniture units.

In the UK, one of such stores is Furniture in Fashion . The company has an established network of suppliers (it works with the manufacturers directly), which allows the store to keep their selection up to date and pricing policy –reasonable. If you are looking for a company you can rely on – this could be one of the best local options for you.
