So you have opening or renovating a restaurant and have decided to create an outdoor eating area for your patrons to enjoy the weather along with their food and drinks.
1. Buying Patio Furniture For a Restaurant
So you have opening or renovating a restaurant and have decided to create an
outdoor eating area for your patrons to enjoy the weather along with their food and
drinks. You will eventually have to look into purchasing commercial restaurant patio
furniture. This is Restaurant furniture that is made for an outdoor eating or “patio”
area of a restaurant or café and is specifically made to handle the wear and tear of
outdoor weather conditions along with the daily wear and tear of customer usage.
Although these are higher quality items, you can find discounted prices online
through a google searches for “american restaurant patio furniture” or “american
hospitality patio furniture”.
Although most manufacturers carry stock year
long, the best time to buy restaurant patio
furniture is in the spring time. Manufacturers will
be high on inventory at the point and may offer
discounts or negotiate contracts that will save
restaurant owners money. On the other hand,
another good time to buy is in November and
December, because manufacturers may be trying
to clear their remaining stock after the more
popular outdoor seasons. Also keep in mind that
a restaurant furniture buyer can negotiate deals
when purchasing a large amount. If you can find a place where you can buy your
indoor restaurant furniture, outdoor restaurant furniture, and restaurant supplies
such as smallwares and flatwares, you will likely end up with a significant discount.
Restaurant patio furniture frames come in a variety of materials. All restaurant patio
furniture will be weather-proof and you will typically see chairs and tables made
with metal or aluminum frames, although some contain teak or plastic resin as well.
Sometimes manufacturers will also use steel with epoxy coating. It is recommended
that you clearly note the gauge of the frame and whether is it a fully-welded frame
or not. A fully-welded frame will be the sturdiest and will be the least likely to need
repair or replacement. Other options for Restaurant patio furniture materials are
wicker, PE weave, and resin. Wicker is popular because it isn’t hot to touch even
after sitting in the sun for hours. However, it is less flexible and not as comfortable
2. as PE weave. Resin furniture is tricky because its durability is highly depended on
the manufacturer. For quality resin furniture look to industry leaders Grossfillex and
EMU Americas.
Restaurant patio table tops also come in a variety of materials. Werzalit is one of
the most popular designer materials for table tops because it is attractive, reliable,
and low cost. There is also the option of teak, which is popular but requires
maintenance. Teak tables will need to have oil applied every three months or else
the table will fade in color or crack. There is a recent trend towards synthetic teak,
which has the look and feel or real teak without the maintenance. The pricing for
synthetic teak tables is typically the same as real teak tables and they are also
environmentally friendly because they are made from recycled wood bits.
