Restaurant Booth Seating Solutions Built for Everyday Use
Durable seating that helps you optimize space and guest experience.
Booth seating plays a practical role in restaurant layout. It can help to organize open spaces by managing the flow of customers and increasing guest capacity. Booths work across dining formats, from full-service restaurants to fast-casual layouts and help restaurant owners seat more guests in less space.
Beaufurn builds every booth to order, giving you the freedom to choose the size, shape, base, and upholstery. Available styles include straight, corner, and banquette designs, all with finishes that coordinate with your tables and chairs. Select from in-house materials or provide your own COM (Customer’s Own Material) fabric to match a specific brand aesthetic.

Many booths offer custom sizing upon request.

Built Around Everyday Restaurant Needs
From flow control to guest comfort, booth seating solves many of the layout challenges restaurants face every day. Some of the benefits of adding booth seating to your restaurant are:
| Floorplan Efficiency | Reduced Aisle Congestion | Improved Guest Experience | Coordinated Styling |
| Booths offer more seating in less space than loose chairs, particularly along walls or in tight zones. | With a fixed layout, booths prevent shifting chairs and allow for consistent traffic flow. | High backs and upholstered panels offer more privacy and comfort, making booths a top request in most dining settings. | We offer matching finishes and upholstery across tables, chairs, and booths to keep your brand look unified. |
Tailored to Your Space and Style
Every Beaufurn booth is built to order. We work with your layout, usage needs, and branding guidelines to ensure your booth seating fits seamlessly into the space.

Use Your Own Fabric With COM Options
If you’re sourcing upholstery through your own designer or need to match a specific brand standard, Beaufurn supports COM (Customer’s Own Material) on most booth styles. This lets you send in the fabric of your choice, which we’ll use during production.
COM is ideal for franchise groups, hospitality designers, or anyone standardizing a look across locations. If needed, our team can help confirm yardage requirements and test material compatibility before production begins.
You can also choose from Beaufurn’s in-house library of contract-grade fabrics. These are graded-in fabrics including wovens, vinyls and more from the industry’s leading fabric suppliers.
