Measure this area and then mark how foot traffic will be managed through it. You will need sufficient circulation space so that people can come in and out of the restaurant and also move through the tables without difficulty. You can then start creating a furniture layout noting where the tables will be located. Make sure that you mark any obstacles on this plan such as planters, trees, piles etc. You will need to keep sufficient space away from these obstacles. You may already have an idea of the seating capacity for the space. Also, by playing around with the layout, you can see the maximum number of customers you can seat. Think about how many customers you want to accommodate. Even though you may be able to seat more, you should have an appropriate number of tables so that the customers have a bit of privacy when they are dining instead of being packed tightly together.
You have to choose
The size of the tables early on as this will allow you to play around with the layout. You can choose two seater tables that will allow you to put them together in order to accommodate larger parties. Or you can also have larger tables that will not be moved around the space much kept permanent for large parties. You have to choose the right material for the café tables Melbourne as well. Look for weather resistant materials like stainless steel and aluminium. You can also find high quality plastic tables in many colours. And if you are using wooden tables, you need to make sure that they can withstand the elements. Check the protective finishes and sealants that have been used and ask the supplier when you need to refinish the tables. You can shelter the tables by using umbrellas and canopies which can give some protection.
Consider the style
Of the café table and whether it suits the aesthetics of your restaurant, café or bar. You can choose colours and styles that are similar to your indoor furniture.

The cost is a big part of what affects your decision but make sure you choose a table that meets your requirements as well. While you may have to pay more for durable high quality tables, you will not need to replace them often which can be a cost saving in the future.
