Nothing is more essential than creating the best possible restaurant dining experience for your customers. From the service to the accommodation, no restaurant is ever replicated elsewhere (well not often) and that includes the different type of furnishings, layout and atmosphere that leaves an impression on turning new into returning customers.
However, there is one item that each restaurant shares and that is the selection of the restaurant seating. Having delivered countless refurbishment, installation and fit-out services for a variety of restaurants within the hospitality industry, high-quality, upholstered booth seating furniture in different shapes and forms have proved to be the most popular choice amongst restaurants.
Below we provide extended details on a range of different booth seating styles so you can see which is more suited for your restaurant.
Back-to-back booth seating
Also referred as banquet or carriage seating, back-to-back booth seating remains a popular choice amongst many restaurants, regardless of decor or cuisine served. Usually the quickest to fill up, customers are willing to wait to be seated at a booth as they provide so many advantages.
