Community Style Restaurant Tables Taking Over Restaurants

Among all sorts of restaurant chairs, bar stools, booths, dining tables, sports bar, waiting area and host area furniture and patio and outdoor furniture, community style restaurant tables have a relevance and utility for all foodies as well as restaurants. Recent trends in the fast casual markets have seen many restaurants put in community style restaurant tables that allow at least 8 to 16 people sit all together. These tables are normally rectangular in size, bar height, and made of solid wood. Strategic placement of these tables in the center of any room or restaurant space can be used to

accommodate large groups and facilitate a “communal” atmosphere. In the Atlanta area, we see these style restaurant tables in “farm-to-table” restaurants that cater toward the urban young professionals. You can also find them in Mooyah’s, Panera, Farmburger, etc. Office break rooms have also been using this style tables for many years to foster better team work and communication.

If you see a large communal table first time at a restaurant, you get mildly shocked because you will find many people sitting around this table and talking to one another while dinning. All people are not same; they have different taste. Hence, some find this sort of table uncomfortable whereas some of them enjoy the experience. Community style restaurant tables encourage foodies to eat "family style" meals with their family members as well as new companions. Additionally, sitting at a large table gives you a sense of space and the restaurant a familiar, casual feel.

Community style restaurant tables or also called farm tables would be a customized project furniture industry. Restaurant furniture manufacturers who have custom fabrication abilities are in a good position to handle such projects. The key challenge would be to prevent the table from warping, and to use a table base that is heavy enough to hold the top. It is recommended that the tables that are not longer than 84 inches primarily need to prevent any damages during shipping. Anything longer will need to be delivered on dedicated trucks. For table base, make sure to use heavy duty round cast iron bases so that the tops do not fall over.

If you are a restaurant owner and want big families and groups to come to your restaurant and dine there uninterruptedly, then equipping your restaurant with community-styled table can make a real difference.
