With restaurant and
bars competing strongly for sales in all segments of the hospitality and
food service industries globally, it's hardly surprising that owners are increasingly
investing time and money in the design and look of their establishments these
days.
But, there's one thing left off their to-do list. You guessed it, the tables. Let's
forget for a moment about the trendy floor types, novelty lighting and atmospheric
interiors. The table is what almost every customer makes physical contact with
during their visit and for a reasonable period of time. So why do many
designers and proprietors often give their tables less thought that the rest of
the establishment?
Restaurants have always played an essential role in business, social and artistic life of society. The major events in life, personal and professional, are celebrated in restaurants. Acquaintances become friends around a table in a safe and controlled environment. Individuals become lovers across the restaurant tables, sometimes. Tables are more important than ever. This means that, no matter of *ahem* luxury interiors can detract from the horror of a table that wobbles or the table top doesn't adjoin perfectly with the connecting table. Customers should be free to sit back and enjoy their meals – wobble and accident free.
When considering an interior project for your
restaurant, remember to look at it from a seated instead of standing level. Try
the perspective from different tables, after all this is where your customers
will spend most of their time and consciously or unconsciously critique your
establishment. Are you sitting comfortably? Do you feel enclosed? Exposed? View
the space with practicality in mind. You can always jazz up the design later.
Functionality is more important than you think. A lifetime of struggling to
balance a table that wobbles, while your customers are left feeling unsatisfied/hungry,
is certainly not going to land you a Michelin star rating.
