Recommended Tables & Chairs Seating Capacity Space Planning Restaurants and Banquet

Planning the floor plan of your restaurant is one of the most important things that you can do. Below we provide some tips:

Each person should have about 2' of the table perimeter (calculated by doubling the sum of the width and depth )

• Tables should be 60" apart, allowing for 24" of aisle or service space

• In smaller spaces, when tables are placed diagonally, corners should be 24" apart and may allow more tables depending on your room layout and dimensions

• Square tables tend to be more flexible and easier to move and rearrange, while many restaurants use varying sizes of rectangular tables to create aesthetically appealing spaces that can also seat many varying party sizes

•For rectangle-shaped tables, we prefer using 5" X 22" table bases

Zoning Requirements for Outdoor Movable Fencing: Do I Need a Permit?

Many restaurant owners find that an easy way to expand and meet patrons’ dining demands is to offer an outdoor patio and dining area. In many cases, diners, servers, and restaurateurs alike prefer to have a barrier. Fortunately, there are several options for erecting moveable, commercial, sectional steel fencing to separate your patrons from sidewalk traffic and other potential hazards.

One consideration before purchasing your fencing is if your municipality requires a permit to place the outdoor moveable fencing. It is best to check with the local municipality about zoning ordinances, including setback from property line requirements. Many times, zoning ordinances pertain to “portable” and “temporary” fencing.
