If you’re anything like me you prefer to sit inside a booth area within a cafe whenever possible. Indeed, they’re usually the first seating that fills up inside any cafe or restaurant. If you’re with a couple of friends then sitting in a booth makes the space feel more private and lets you feel you can confide any problems or share a joke without everyone around you being privy to the conversation. That said, having the right booth design can be a big factor in allowing for customer comfort and for waiting staff to be able to serve guests. It’s important for any cafe owner to have the correct booth specifications, precise measurements, and the right style of booth table to ensure that their venue gets the most from their seating.
Leave sufficient gut space
‘Gut space’ refers to the amount of room allowed from where the customer’s back hits the booth seat to the top edge of the table. The last thing you want is to have your booth seating installed only to find that it’s such a squeeze for customers to get seated that they simply up sticks and leave. In general consider leaving a space of around 50-55cm to allow plenty of room for movement.
The good news is that booth space for 4 people takes up considerably less floor space when compared to open seating, which means that a cafe owner can ultimately cater for more customers and increase their revenue.
Consider using rounded corners
Rounded or radius corners are a good way for cafe owners to ensure that their customers are more comfortable and as its name suggest doesn’t feature any sharp edges. Consequently customers won’t find themselves bumping into unforgiving corners which can make it difficult to squeeze into a booth and may also bruise their legs.
Clipped corners are a good feature
A booth table with clipped corners is another great option. Basically this style of table features corners which are clipped to a 45 degree angle. Not only does this make it easier for customers to access their table but waiting staff will find it easier to serve their guests drink and food too. Typically this is just one detail that enhances your customer dining experience and one that is worth while considering when planning your booth installation.
Use the right base
It’s important in the hospitality trade that the right base is used for cafe tables and is essential if your seating is to work. It’s a good idea to fit a cantilever base in order to maximise comfort and space for customers. These bases offer plenty of leg room as well as plenty of support even under pressure. In addition this type of base is easier to clean, meaning that waiting staff can turn around a booth quickly and efficiently.
Sometimes, however, a cantilever base isn’t the best option. If you’ve got rounded booth seating then there’s no way that your table can be connected to a wall. Instead you’ll need a sturdy single column base with either an X-style or disc base. This gives good support to the table and still allows plenty of leg room for customers.
The benefits of booth seating are clear for all to see. Not only are guests comfortable, but cafe owners will find their business runs more smoothly and that their well designed booth makes customers want to return time and time again.

Selecting commercial bar stools might be more complicated than you think. Style, color, design …, we believe you already have a rough idea of what you want, but did you consider what height it should be? Do you want your stools to swivel? Should they have armrests?
#1 Positioning
First of all, you should know where you will place your commercial bar stools. This will help you to decide on the colour and the style you need, especially if you divide your space into different areas with different themes.
A light colour might fit here next to your window but a darker colour might be better at the back near your bar area.
#2 Height
The height will also depend on the positioning of your commercial bar stools, as well as the countertop or the tables you will use. Indeed, remember to allow enough space for customers’ legs between the top of the seat and the bottom of the countertop or the table. It sounds pretty obvious but some restaurants and cafes seem to forget about that!
#3 Comfort
Select stylish commercial bar stools but please don’t cut on comfort. Comfortable stools = happy customers = returning customers.
If you can, select commercial bar stools with padded seats and offer an amazing seating experience to your customers! They will be able to sit for a longer period painlessly and enjoy their meal. This is especially important in bars and pubs where you expect your clientele to sit for a while.
In restaurants, however, you might get away with slightly less comfortable commercial bar stools since the bar counter is not be the main area but just a transition when people wait till their table is ready.
#4 Swivel
The swivel option allows your customers to move from side to side without having to move the base of the commercial bar stool, which can be extremely convenient at times.
Bar stools with swivel will be great at the bar counter but you might want to keep them away from your tables – customers might not enjoy spinning around while eating!
#5 Footrest & Backrest & Armrest
Often underrated, footrests are so important! They allow your customers to sit comfortably without having their legs dangling till it hurts. Female clients wearing heels all day long will love you for that!
Same with backrests, they can bring some extra comfort, a plus your customers will find valuable!
Finally, armrests are also comfortable and they look good. Just be aware they are more challenging to fit correctly as they don’t tuck under your counter or your table.

While the quality of the food and service in a restaurant should always be the most important factors in operating a restaurant, a large reason that many patrons visit restaurant is for the dining experience. A well decorated restaurant that speaks to the type of cuisine and intended atmosphere can make all the difference in determining whether a patron will return to the same restaurant. Regardless of your budget or design needs, decorating your restaurant should be an important concern.
Develop a theme for your restaurant decor based on your cuisine. If your cuisine is Mexican, you will likely want to feature elements of Mexican design, such as warm saturated colors, rustic wood and mosaic tile designs. The style of your restaurant will also come into play. For example, your restaurant could feature family style seating or intimate tables, depending on whether you want a casual environment or a fine dining feel.
Furnish your restaurant with furniture that will maintain your restaurant’s formality, as well as style. For example, if your restaurant is casual, vinyl booths and wooden tables are standard. If your restaurant is more formal, choose tables and chairs for their style and finish. You can also cover them with tablecloths that add color to the space.
Consider the table style as part of your overall design aesthetic. After all, it’s what customers will likely look at the most while they’re enjoying their meal. There are many ways to accent tabletops, such as paint, tablecloths, tile and glass covers with inlaid designs.

Customers are finicky creatures which is why it can be difficult to know just how to get new customers through your doors and, more importantly, how to retain them. So we’ve put together below tips to make your customers feel welcome and want to come back. So without further ado, let’s dive in and take a look:
Getting customers through your doors is all about getting the design of your cafe right. We’re not just talking colour scheme and layout but about other various other key elements which play a vital role.
Clean lines
Remember your cafe interior isn’t about creating something that’s personal to you. Instead keep things simple by keeping clutter to a minimum and limit decorations and knick knacks to things that add value. Your design doesn’t have to mean minimalism but you do need to consider every item carefully before installing it.
Smell
Who doesn’t love the smell of coffee brewing and freshly baked bread and pastries. We know we do! So rather than overpowering those delicious smells with fancy perfume sprays and air fresheners keep those pungent smells coming to your customers.
Furniture
It used to be that cafe chairs of old were designed so that customers would drink up and leave as quickly as possible. Today’s clientele demand nice looking comfortable furniture and like to have a choice too for however long they’re staying. If they’re on their own they may prefer a comfy chair hidden away in a small corner but make sure there is something such as a wall or book shelf to give the seat structure on one side. Make sure you have practical upright chairs too, for those looking to work. Couches are great for relaxing and reading the papers with a cup of coffee on a table by the side, but if they’re too soft and comfortable your customers might end up falling asleep.
