SIZES, DESIGNS & TYPES OF RESTAURANT TABLES IN INDIA

The types, styles and themes of restaurants in a diverse country like ours with a melting pot of cultures, tastes, income brackets, cuisines and lifestyles directly translates to as many demanding requirements for furniture & fittings. One such important furniture is the dining table, which can be either movable or a fixture.  

The second most important furniture unit in a restaurant has at least 15 different variations but we will list 8 odd styles, some of which can be mixed and matched with other styles.   

To suit the demanding requirements and to blend a desired restaurant interior idea, a solid understanding of these table types, the areas where they're used, their approximate cost and so on would prove to be quite beneficial

At FurnitureRoots, we make and sell restaurant tables to commercial restaurant businesses as well as to bulk residential orders in India, apart from food courts, canteens & fast food joints 

PARTS OF A RESTAURANT TABLE

Thanks to the low-cost of labor in India, many of us are not familiar with the concept of a knocked down unit. This is basically separated portions of the tabletop & the table base which can joined together on-site.

In western countries, this is a technique that has been adopted quite extensively since the components come from manufacturing hubs in the east.

If the order size for your restaurant tables is fairly large, then the tables will be sold to you in knocked down versions. To ensure seamless joining of them, read on.

In essence, a standard restaurant table has only 4 loose components

1. The Table Base – This is the bottom portion of the dining table that is also called the legs or the neck of the table, depending on the table design and the table type 

2. The Table Top – The most distinct & noticeable item in a dining table, tabletops are made in reclaimed wood, solid wood, stainless steel, marble, cast iron and in a plethora of sizes, thickness, materials & designs

3. The Base Plate  The base plate is the foundation of the table, smaller restaurant table designs have only a single neck as opposed to 4 or 6 legs, so in order to increase stability a base plate with a wide span is used.

4. The Spider The spider gets its name from its shape, a claw-like structure with approximately 6 large-spanning legs to hold the tabletop in place. It is joined straight at the end of the table base

OUTDOOR DINING TABLES

Unlike standard furniture that consumers buy from B2C marketplaces, dining businesses like restaurants and cafes need specially made hospitality-grade furniture and tables due to the conditions in which they're used

Furthermore, within this, outdoor furniture for restaurants need to be made out of select few materials that are able to withstand the harsh outdoor conditions

If the dining table is made out of stainless steel, cast iron (with primer coating), marble or even rattan, then you're good to go. Even outdoor-grade engineered wood tables can be used for outdoor use

But untreated solid natural wood, inlaid furniture items and standard wooden tabletops simply cannot survive outdoor conditions.

INDUSTRIAL TABLE DESIGN

An in-demand furniture & interior decoration style, and one that is not being preferred across several restaurants and cafes in India. For seeing all types of restaurant furniture that we sell in Industrial styles, please visit this page 

Tables in industrial styles are often the ones that feature rough-looking metal, mainly in black. This radiates the feeling of a industrial appeal akin to that of the 1900s Britain 

Steampunk tables is a very specific niche unique to the industrial styles, these use rugged steam pipes, a large metal crank for adjusting height and large non-functional wheels for an even more rugged & industrial look 

However, popular industrial designs are much more restrained and much more delicate. Modern industrial designs are also used quite widely in formal dining restaurants

MODERN RESTAURANT TABLE DESIGNS

A blanket term, modern & contemporary dining tables are typically minimalistic, sleek, glossy, shiny & generally speaking, they look a lot more expensive as well  

The modern furniture design style came somewhere around the 1950s with mid century design philosophy which advocated for usage of modern materials and less extravagance in designs, although this was mainly done to keep costs in control  

At FurnitureRoots, we make modern furniture for restaurants, and about 25% of the SKUs within the category are for the dining tables   

Plated stainless steel, quartz, smoothened wood and Italian marble are all used heavily in modern restaurant table designs

BAR TABLE DESIGNS

While the concept originated in the west, especially in pubs & taverns, we Indians began adopting bar height restaurant tables across a slew of restaurant outlets  

So you can now see bar height tables in Thali joints, Udipi restaurants and even in fast food joints

Bar height, however, is a standardized measurement which roughly means about 106 cms off the ground and a 91 cm seating height 

Bar tables typically come in round shape and they seat 2 but supplies sell several different variations of these

COUNTER HEIGHT RESTAURANT TABLE DESIGNS

Like bar height, counter height is also a standard measurement that typically denotes 91 cms off the ground with a seating height of about 71 cms 

Interestingly enough, a counter height used in restaurants is the same as the counter height used in most domestic household kitchesns 

Bars, pubs, nightclubs prefer counter height tables as the counter height is ideal for standing and the energetic folks can rarely keep from standing

TABLES USED IN DINING BOOTHS

Dining booths are great for an intimate and private dining experience, the tables used in these are somewhat different, they’re either stuck to the ground or the tabletops are drilled to the wall as in the picture to the left.  

Although other instances of free-standing benches are also used in more casual restaurant booth style seating arrangements
