All those planning to open up an eatery have one fundamental concern; the process of designing and ordering custom restaurant furniture. If it is too formal, it might repel customers, and if it is too casual, some people might not want to visit if they have formal company.
What is the best way to decide what you want to order and what should be the look of your restaurant?
Do not fret!
We are here to help you understand how to set a theme and then order furniture accordingly. Furniture can be a primary concern, but deciding and ordering can be fun too.
What is Custom Furniture?
Custom furniture is personalized to suit the needs of a restaurant and it is different from the mass-produced pieces that are designed to fit any kind of space. If you are opening up a restaurant, you would like to offer something unique, with distinct craftsmanship and quality.
You do not have to design the furniture yourself as there are numerous vendors who do that for you and when you place an order, they send the furniture to the address, and all you have to do is unpack and set.
Many new restaurant owners ask how long customized furniture takes. Any efficient manufacturer will require up to ten weeks to make, polish and deliver the chairs and tables for your new eatery. At Chair Up, the maximum production and delivery time is four weeks, which begins from the moment you send the payment.
The Process of Design and Ordering
When any restaurant owner decides to renovate, or set up a new place; they have to decide the designs according to the theme. Once you find the designs of your choice, here are some primary steps that take place:
-
Order and Deposit Received
The shop will register the order and will require a small deposit against it to prepare the furniture design you like. Furniture vendors place orders after conducting a consultation to discuss the requirements, including design preferences, materials, dimensions, and any specific features.
Furniture invoices are in full detail such as upholstery color, polish shades and other specifications. Different vendors require a deposit of between 40% and 70%. This deposit confirms the commitment and allows the shop to prepare the furniture as mentioned by the buyer.
- Progress Updates
Chair Up provides an update to all customers regarding the process, and steps of production. If there is a customized order, the buyer should know what kind of work is being done and at what stage is the furniture at any particular time. The regular updates keep customers informed throughout the production process.
Schedule Production
Scheduling production involves several sub-steps to ensure everything is in place for crafting your custom piece:
- Step by Step Jobs
Furniture vendors prepare a sheet of tasks that are assigned to different craftsmen. For example, the wood texture, polish, assembling and final finish are all the tasks that require different skilled people to work on a particular furniture piece. The schedule can be shared with the customer in case they want to see how the customized designs are being made.
- Timber Selection
The decided timber is used for production. Chair Up ensures that all the work is done according to the client’s needs.
- Metal and Other Components Selection
For pieces involving metal components, detailed metal job sheets are created, specifying the design and dimensions required. Chair Up collaborates with the best metalworkers to produce these components.
- Quality Check
Before sending the furniture to the customer, there has to be a quality check to ensure that everything is up to the mark. Every component, including timber and metal parts, undergoes meticulous inspection, and only after getting the final clearing, it is transported to the customer.
- Ship to Client
Chair Up provides fast shipping to all states and we ensure that the packing will keep each piece secure. If a customer requires assistance in assembling and setting up the furniture, we provide it and ensure that every piece is in its final appearance.
