Things to consider when purchasing tub seats for your cafe

purchasing

You understand, as a café owner, that your customers come to you for different reasons. All customers want an adaptable space.

Cafe tub chairs pamper your guests with their unique backrest and curved arms. Tub chairs are available in a variety of colors, styles, and sizes.

You will need to follow some similar tips as you would when purchasing your next cesca chair. Consider the following:

Comfort

Customers will sometimes want to spend more time in your café. Comfort will determine how long they spend in your cafe, whether they are working or having fun. Choose chairs that have enough padding, backrests that are supportive, and a pleasing design.

Cushions should not be too hard or too soft. 

Balance is key. Make sure that the backrest supports and holds the natural curve of the spine. A well-structured, adjustable armrest will be appreciated by customers for a relaxing experience.

Comfort encourages customers to spend more time in your café and return.

Durability

Consider a bustling cafe environment. A chair is used to serve a few customers, while being constantly moved. Slowly, but surely wear and tear begins to take place.

You will be able to save money on repair and replacement by investing in a durable chair. It will also provide stability and comfort for your customers.

The frames are the secret to chair strength. Choose hardwood or metallic frames that can withstand heavy loads. Also, make sure the fabric you use is compatible with frame material.

Easy Clean up

You can expect a lot of spills in your café. The material of the chair should be easy-to-clean and shouldn’t leave marks when wiped. Vinyl is a good choice because it’s moisture resistant.

In many states, the health departments inspect restaurants and cafés constantly. Inspection officers may even ask the business to display cleanliness ratings. 

The cafe owner wants to keep the place clean because these random inspections will occur. You can stay prepared by using tab chairs that are easy to clean.

If you prefer fabric chairs, choose tun chairs with removable and washable covers.

Style and Design

Your cafe chairs do more than just provide a seat. They are an integral part of the look and feel of your café. The chairs are part of your cafe’s decor, and complement any color schemes or wall patterns. 

Which look would you choose: rustic or homey, or sleek and contemporary? Chairs can help you bring this to life.

Also, consider the shape. Choose between rounded and soft shapes for a more homely look or sharp and angular ones for an air of modernity.

Size and Proportions

Make sure the chairs are the right size for your space. The chairs must be comfortable for all guests, regardless of their height and body structure. You don’t want the chairs to be too heavy to move around your cafe.

Check the footprint of your chair. There should be enough space between the chairs and their adjacent staff members or customers.

Ensure that your chair height is a good match for the table to ensure a comfortable work or dining experience. The ideal seat height for a chair should be 18”, with about 12′ between the top of the seat and the tabletop.

Stackability and storage

Consider purchasing chars which can be easily stacked to store. Flexible storage allows you to free up space for other uses, such as dances or small parties.

The easier it is to move chairs that are lighter will make it easier for you to rearrange your space. Light chairs can be easily brought indoors if you have an outdoor cafe chamber.

Safety

Prioritize safety. Make sure there are no sharp corners that could injure either your customers or your staff. We have never seen a customer return to a café where they were injured.

Conclusion

It’s more than choosing stylish chairs. You want to create a comfortable and safe environment for customers. Each element, from comfort and durability to aesthetics and cleanability, plays a vital role in shaping the customer experience. You can choose chairs that will not only enhance the atmosphere of your cafe, but also benefit you in the long term by carefully considering your needs and space. The right seating can make a huge difference to customer satisfaction and your business’s success.
