Professional restaurant chairs - ergonomic, robust and stylish

How to choose a restaurant chair?

The chair is perhaps the most important piece of furniture in a restaurant, offering comfort and identity to your establishment. It's an essential piece of furniture for welcoming customers and guaranteeing their comfort. It also plays a major role in the design and decoration of your establishment, especially if it's both designer and practical. As we speak, Richard Diffusion's catalog offers a wide range of chairs for bars and restaurants. That's why we've put together this short guide to the main criteria for selecting the best professional chair.

Opt for a stackable chair

When you invest in professional furniture, don't choose it purely on the basis of taste. You need to go for a model that meets specific requirements, particularly professional ones. When it comes to chairs, for example, you can opt for a stackable model, i.e. one that can be folded and unfolded to suit your needs. The advantage of this type of chair is that it can be stored quickly and easily. This model can be used as an emergency chair in case your hall chairs are no longer sufficient to accommodate your customers. On the Richard Diffusion website, you'll find a choice of stacking chairs, including the black oak aluminum cross chair and the stacking red steel workshop chair.

Choose a chair that's washable and easy to clean

It's also advisable to choose a chair that's washable and easy to clean. As you know, restaurant furniture needs to be regularly maintained to ensure a clean, attractive environment and a positive customer experience. So you need to take into account the material your chair is made of, to ensure that you get a model that will stand up to frequent washing. A polycarbonate or polypropylene chair, for example, is perfectly washable. What's more, it's resistant to intensive use and doesn't retain stains.

Choose a comfortable chair

To continue, you should also consider providing your customers with ergonomic chairs. Of course, it's not possible to order a custom-made chair for every customer, but you can install comfortable chairs in your dining room to satisfy the majority of your customers. A chair with an upholstered back and seat, for example, will do the trick, as will one with a height well suited to the table.

Choose a designer chair

Last but not least, you should opt for a designer chair to enhance the decor of your restaurant, attract customers and set you apart from the rest. Here, it's not always a question of opting for a modern, innovative model; you can also take an interest in an unusual model to display a particular style.
