Stop Those Table Wobbles For Good!

Is it just me or do other people find that they always seem to choose the cafe table with that irritating wobble that threatens to send your cup of coffee over the rim of the mug and straight into your lap?

The thing is, no matter where you are in the world tables are at the heart of the hospitality industry. Cafe owners know that their customers want to enjoy spending time with friends and family catching up over a cup of coffee and a bite to eat, and yet despite the friendliest of greetings they still sit them at a table that wobbles!! It’s easy to disregard the problem and shrug it off, but it can have a negative impact on your business. When you consider the amount wobbly tables could be costing you in terms of wages, refunds, lost customers, and missed opportunities, then surely it’s time you acted fast.

What can be done?

The answer lies in FLAT technology. This clever solution to wobbly tables lies in the special table bases which incorporate FLAT technology hidden away out of sight. It’s always on so there’s no buttons or electronics to press.

How it works

Hydraulics are used to pump fluid around a circuit of small pipes located in the FLAT table bases. The Patented Actuator Device responds instantly and adjusts the table feet so that the table remains stable on any surface, and locks them into position. In addition, this clever system can also be used to align table tops effortlessly, saving staff valuable minutes in setting up time and eliminating that troublesome lip which occurs when manually pushing two or more tables together. This innovative system works time and time again, adjusting to new surfaces, every single time the table is moved.

FLAT table bases come in a wide range of sizes, styles, and colours and fix easily to most table tops. Typically they cost around $30 to $50 more than a non-FLAT table base equivalent, but your costs should easily be recouped within the first year with operational costs and customer service benefits. You’ll be amazed at how complimentary food and drinks, wages spend on aligning tables and fixing wobbles, and the potential value of missed customers stacks up. What’s more, according to a survey carried out by a YouGov survey in America, 50% of customers said they would be put off returning to a cafe where the tables were wobbly and 7 out of 9 people also said that wobbly tables gave them a negative impression of the establishment before they even sampled the food and drink.
