How Do I Choose the Right Restaurant Table?
Choosing a restaurant table starts with five factors: available floor space, number of diners, table shape, tabletop material and daily operating needs.
A table should not be selected only because it looks attractive. It must also fit the seating layout, allow customers and service staff to move comfortably, and work with the selected chairs and table base.
Berjaya Table & Chair offers sintered stone, laminated, high-pressure laminate, stainless steel, fibreglass, Isotop, plastic and banquet table categories for different commercial environments.
Which table shape is suitable for a restaurant?
Round tables can support conversation and may work well for smaller groups. Square tables are useful in flexible layouts because they can be used separately or arranged together. Rectangular tables may be suitable for larger groups, shared dining and linear floor plans.
The best shape depends on the room dimensions and the position of walls, pillars, service counters and walkways.
How much space should be left between restaurant tables?
There must be enough room for customers to pull out chairs and for service staff to move between occupied tables.
Measure the complete space while the chairs are in use—not only the tabletop dimensions. Entrances, emergency routes and access to food-service areas should remain clear.
Which tabletop material should I choose?
Compare materials based on:
- Intended dining environment
- Cleaning and maintenance needs
- Interior design
- Tabletop dimensions
- Compatible table base
- Product-specific specifications
Do not assume that every tabletop has the same heat, stain, scratch or outdoor resistance. Confirm the specifications of the selected model.
Should the chairs be selected before the tables?
Tables and chairs should be planned together. Check the table height, chair seat height, chair width and available legroom.
A visually matching set may still be uncomfortable when the seat and tabletop heights are incompatible.
What information should I prepare before contacting a supplier?
Prepare your floor dimensions, estimated seating capacity, preferred table shape, chair type, required quantity and project location.
These details make it easier to compare appropriate commercial table configurations.
