6 Important Factors To Consider When Choosing Cafe Chairs

So you’ve decided to splash out and update your cafe furniture! Alternatively you’re about to enter the hospitality industry and need some great looking furniture for you first venue. What do you look for and more importantly what do you buy? Here are 6 important factors to take into consideration.

Material/style

The first thing you need to decide on is the material and style of the chair. For instance, do you want to go down the traditional route with a rustic interior, or are you basing your venue in a modern area full of young professionals? If the latter is the case then stainless steel, funky designs and bright colours might be the order of the day.

Purpose

Do you have an outside terrace or pavement area you are looking to fill? If so you should be looking to mirror the design of your inside space. If this is the case then it’s often best to opt for commercial grade furniture that’s fit for both indoor and outdoor use, materials such as stainless steel are lightweight and good for both areas.

Budget

There are cafe chairs and then there are expensive cafe chairs. The trouble is, paying more doesn’t always equate to better quality. Therefore know your budget and stick to it. But how can you guarantee quality? The answer is to look for furniture that’s been AFRDI tested. This is cafe furniture that’s been through rigorous testing and as such is very capable of handling the demands of the most busy of establishments.

Size of your venue

Like tables, chairs come in differing sizes too, so you’ll need to work out the best chair size to maximise your customer footfall. If you are a little short of space you might want to avoid chairs with arms for example, In addition clean lines tend to give the appearance of less clutter, making them the perfect accompaniment for smaller spaces.

Target market

Understanding who your customers are going to be is key. For example if it’s a family area and you expect lots of mums and children, you might want to opt for kids cafe chairs that match your overall design. Alternatively if it’s in an urban setting and your clientele is young professionals then they might prefer something more contemporary or even industrial.

Originality

If you really want to stand out from the competition then you might want to look for original furniture. After all, there’s no point in having the same style of furniture as the cafe down the road. Instead keep it fresh and give your customers a reason to want to come.
