Restaurant Booths – 5 Top Benefits of Choosing Booths

Nowadays, most restaurants have mixed seating arrangements to give their customers a choice. One of the preferred options for customers is restaurant booths or fixed seating as it’s often referred to. Booths give a restaurant a refined elegant look and provide the ultimate in comfort. Not only are they a great addition to a restaurant but they can help attract new customers through your doors. If you’re considering booth seating for your venue then you probably want to know more of the benefits before parting with your hard-earned cash.

Restaurant Booths – 5 Top Benefits

Gives a cosy feeling

When compared to tables and chairs, booths provide your guests with a warm and cosy feeling. After a long busy day, people visiting a restaurant for a meal with friends or family want an atmosphere and space that is calm and relaxing. Sitting together in a booth gives people a feeling of intimacy while they enjoy their food in their own private space. This is one of the main reasons for people to choose restaurant booths.

Space-saving

Another benefit of booth seating is that it can be customised to fit your restaurant design and dining area. Depending on the amount of space available, restaurant owners can decide on the best booth layout and choose materials and colours that complement their décor and existing furniture. Generally speaking, booths are placed against a wall to provide customers with a calm soothing ambience.

Provides privacy

If you’re meeting up with friends and looking to spend some quality time without any disturbances it’s always best to choose restaurant booths. They provide maximum privacy to guests during busy times of the day while their high backed seats help to block out surrounding noise. In essence, people can maintain their privacy despite the presence of other diners.

Marks a comfort zone

Restaurant booths provide more comfort than when sitting on a chair at a dining table. Typically, booths have padded seats and backrests whereas most dining chairs are made from wood or metal and come with considerably less padding. Booths are upholstered with softly padded fabrics to ensure customers feel comfortable while they are eating. A booth also provides a larger space where customers can spread out and soak up the ambience. Customers that feel comfortable are prone to stay longer and this means they may purchase more food and drink which will help increase your revenue.  

Keeps groups apart from other diners

Another benefit of restaurant booths is that it saves time on organising tables to accommodate a group booking. As a result a group of friends celebrating an event (perhaps noisily) can be kept apart from other diners. Since booths are typically placed on the outskirts of a dining room backing towards a wall, it also lowers the level of traffic circulating the booth, helping the group to feel more comfortable. Without the need for waiting staff to have to dance around the table to serve and retrieve items, it also results in faster table turnover.
