Tables for fast food bars, restaurants, cafes, premium venues or food garden... What to consider when choosing a countertop?
A sturdy table with well-chosen, comfortable chairs is one of the main factors contributing to the positive reception of your restaurant by customers. When choosing this piece of furniture for your venue, you should pay attention to the tabletops, which are the most exploited piece of equipment, and at the same time the element that customers pay immediate attention to after entering the restaurant.
When faced with the choice of the material of which to use for your countertops, you must first of all determine what type of restaurant you will be operating. Different countertops will work well in a fast-food place, while others in a small family cafe, and yet another in an exclusive restaurant. Sharing our knowledge and experience, we have prepared the best suggestions for countertops for different types of restaurants.
Fast-food joints
Restaurants/cafes
This type of restaurant is mainly characterized by the fact that meals are prepared to customer orders, consumption takes place at tables without rush, and as a result, the customers will spend longer time at the tables. Because of this, countertops should not only be a functional, but also be a decorative element of the interior.
Fine-dining restaurants
The best chefs looking for unusual flavor combinations with the best quality products, professional waiters' service, who will give us all the information about the prepared dishes or help us choose the right additions, appropriate tableware, dishes on the plate aesthetically composed, with attention to the smallest details are the features that distinguish a premium restaurant from other venues.
Premium restaurants are also about adequate interior design to ensure that customers feel exclusive and special. Appropriately selected furniture, colors, lighting or decorations must create a culinary and aesthetic experience of the highest level.
Such establishments can not lack the best quality tables. The ideal solution here will be countertops made of natural materials such as wood or stone. The timelessness and versatility of wood and stone means that these tabletops will fit into any arrangement, further enhancing its aesthetic value.
Beer Gardens
Other tables will be suitable for the interior, and others will work well in a restaurant garden, where the material of the tabletops must be additionally resistant to changing weather conditions. Tabletops are often soaked by rain and in a while exposed to high temperatures and sunlight. Remember that even if you have umbrellas they do not protect the countertops completely. If you choose countertops for a restaurant garden without a roof, we recommend choosing lighter colors.
A second countertop alternative that will work well outdoors is verzalite countertops. Shaped in one piece under high pressure and temperature, they produce an unbreakable, stable piece that is extremely resistant to damage and weatherproof. The smoothness of the structure and the antibacterial surface makes the countertops easy and quick to clean - just soapy water is enough to maintain more than 99% sterility without the need for special antibacterial preparations.
When choosing countertops for the garden, you must consider whether you will want to connect the tables together. If so, we suggest choosing compact countertops, the edges of which can be made at right angles, so that when they are joined together, there is no gap formed between them. Verzalite tops, because of the convexity in the center and on the edges and the sides set against the surface of the top at an obtuse angle, are not suitable for joining to create one larger table.
Regardless of the type of restaurant you run, your tables should always be characterized by several features. Restaurant countertops should be of high quality so that they remain in impeccable condition for a long time. Scratched or stained tables are not a good showcase of the venue and discourage customers from ordering meals. Therefore countertops ordered for public establishments such as restaurants, cafes, hotels, bars, waiting rooms or food gardens should be characterized by high durability and resistance to intensive use. The material from which the countertops are made should not be prone to cracking and bending even under heavy pressure.
Also pay attention to the table base. It should match the type of interior, but more importantly, it must match the type and size of the tabletop, so that the tables in your establishment are stable, so that when guests lean on the table with more force, the tables will remain stable and not fall over.
