Choosing F&B Furniture to Match Your Food and Beverage Establishment

In the current generation, the attractiveness of the establishment affects the success of a restaurant, fast food restaurants, bars, pubs, or café quite a lot. The F&B furniture, interior design, and the layout of how you manage the space are all important.

Even though the savory taste and the servings you put for your guests are the keys to their satisfaction, the first impression matters considerably too. It is a factor that will catch the customer’s attention before they even decide to try your menu.

F&B Furniture to Match the Design

The layout and the design of your establishment convey a visual presentation of your food and service to your potential customers. How do you want your customers to expect from you? To achieve this, not only do you need to pay attention to your design but also the furniture you should put together fitting the theme.

Whether you’re opening a café or a pub, a high-end restaurant or a fast-food restaurant, you need furniture that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. In that case, you also need to match it with the ambiance and mood you intend to create.

Restaurant Furniture

To choose the right furniture for your restaurant, you should assess the available spaces first. Should you put small furniture for your restaurant, medium, or large furniture?
What about the traffic you expect? Smaller traffic to target exclusive meetings or dinner might need more simplistic furniture rather than the usual table for a restaurant that targets family as frequent guests.

Then, what about the demographics of customers? Do you target youngsters or adults? Do you target blue-collar workers or white collars?

Based on these three aspects alone (the space available, the traffic, and the demographic), you should receive enough vision on the F&B furniture you would need.

The next thing you want to consider is the type of restaurant you want to run. There are a lot of types of restaurants. In common, there are fine dining, casual dining, family-style, fast-casual, fast food, and many more. Below we will discuss a bit about some of the mentioned restaurant types.

Fine Dining Restaurant

A fine dining table will need high-end décor and a formal atmosphere. Its menu is always fancier than most restaurants and a sit-down restaurant too.

Since a fine dining table is likely to be visited for a special occasion for your guests, special furniture is in order too. Reflecting the extra care put into the serving of food and beverages, chairs, and tables need to be chosen with similar extra care. Stitching for the upholstery and the fluting or button details will have extra care. Tabletops are often made of expensive marbles or well finished wooden surfaces with more details.

Casual Dining Restaurant
The mood and atmosphere of a casual dining restaurant depend heavily on the brand and intended customers. Casual dining still provides table service just like fine dining, but with fewer rules and lower prices on the food. The kind of F&B furniture needed to follow the theme and concept the establishment has. Running a casual dining restaurant, you may have a mix of couches, lounge chairs, and cozy booths.

A type of casual restaurant is a family-style restaurant. Food is often served in platters in a large filling. The diners then serve themselves the food. The dining surface would be wider than the usual restaurant with more chairs to accommodate a family having their meals. The availability of high chairs and booster seats could encourage families to visit and return.

Lately, the fast casual restaurant is in trend too. With everything goes faster, people seem to have less time to sit down for long to have their meals. Many people consider food as a necessity rather than something to enjoy. The fast casual restaurant, unlike the fast food restaurant that emerged first, offers healthier food commonly though the price is slightly higher than fast food.

The furniture to go with the fast casual restaurant would consist of a counter for people to order, and seats for people to either have their meal or to wait for their order. Durability and easy maintenance should stand out in your list of finding seats. Stool, armless chairs, and a waiting area with a bar.

Fast Food Restaurant

Imagine when you are so late for work while having an empty stomach, you have to grab some food, but do not have time to sit down at a restaurant let alone cook for yourself. Your option would be either not eating, risking your energy depleted while working afterward, or you could go to a fast-food restaurant nearby to grab a quick bite.

Or you could imagine being in a new place and the cuisine is just not your taste. You have allergies to seafood, yet right now you are in a place where the cuisine consists of a lot of said seafood. You don’t have time to go about finding the right restaurant for you since your work is waiting. Would you choose to starve or would you find the nearest fast-food chain available? A place you are more familiar with?

This is all the advantage of a fast food restaurant: it is quick and effective and it also gives a sense of familiarity.

Establishing your fast food restaurant chain or opening up a store of a well-known fast-food chain, you need to keep in mind those two characteristics. Your F&B furniture for fast-food should be practical and easy to maintain. Since you wouldn’t go often to your table with the high traffic, spills will a bit hard to notice right away. That is why furniture needs to be easy to clean while maintaining good spacing and self-help tables as compact as possible.

Pub and Café Furniture
Unlike restaurant which serves food and beverages, pubs and cafés are places where most people wouldn’t expect themselves to a meal. They are there for drinks and relaxation. Sometimes they are there to gather with their community or colleagues and socialize. All of the characters in which the two establishments can bring about.

• Pub
  The pub itself is a shortened version of ‘public house’ that dates back to the 19th century. As of now, it is mostly a place for a community gathering (especially in Great Britain).
  People come to pubs for the draught beer and cider. They may order food, but not necessarily. A table counter is provided where people can order their drinks (and meals) with stools for the seating. Some game like darts is common too in pubs.
  
  Since a pub serves a more alcoholic side of beverages, the atmosphere mostly is more upbeat than a café would be. The F&B furniture inside a pub, other than the table counter of the bar and the stools, is a long table in which people would gather and socialize.
• Café
  Unlike pub that offers alcoholic beverages, café traditionally serves tea, coffee, soft drinks, and some light cakes.
  Cafés offer a relaxed atmosphere for most people. Visitors would order a cup of coffee (or more) on their way to work, or they could stay to socialize and even work. The nature of a café will make people feel comfortable and want to stay for a long time.
  
  That is why, not only high stools for people waiting for their order, a nice lounge chair for example would make your café much more relaxing.

Kitchen Furniture

While putting effort into your customers, you should put as much attention to your working area as well. F&B furniture doesn’t only to please your customers physically but also to make them the best food you could serve with the level of hygiene they deserve.

Commercial kitchen furniture should be compliant with the regulation in your country in terms of hygiene and safety. It also needs equipment and furniture that can withstand busy hours.

Continuous countertop with drawers, rubbish bins, or shelves under underneath is a piece of good furniture that can help a lot of your kitchen task. Sinks, sliding doors, cabinets, and shelves need to be picked well too. How would your business strive if not for the best quality furniture for your kitchen staff?
