The Value of Refinishing Restaurant Tables

It should come as no surprise that Americans love food, and all different types to be exact. In the Spring of 2016 alone, 19 million people visited a full-service restaurant and a whopping 49 million visited a quick service restaurant in the US. We could estimate that about 275 million people visit at least one restaurant each year. No wonder restaurant tables never seem to look nice and new. So what is the next step once an update is needed?

High quality refinishing is often the most cost-effective option for restaurant owners. By keeping the same tables that fit perfectly in their layout, they are able to keep the design of their restaurant while acquiring nearly brand-new tables, and eliminating waste. Refinishing requires a deep cleaning of each component of the table to remove any food, chemical, or oil residue. It is then tested to ensure structural integrity and repaired if needed. It’s nearly impossible to find a restaurant table in perfect condition, but we want to return them in as close to perfect shape as we can. The color of the tables can remain the same or they can be changed at the request of the owner. Sealing with a polyurethane spray can help protect from future dents, scratches, and chips.

If you’re curious if your restaurant or bar tables are candidates for refinishing, they are. Tabletops can be made from different materials including plastics and woods which makes them perfectly suited for refinishing. Even veneer tables, a much thinner material, can be refinished but they require careful and expert craftsmanship to be refinished properly. Trusting your refinishing to the experts is well worth it to ensure your tables are refinished using quality products by professionals.

Mass produced tables are made quickly which often means they lack the durability needed for restaurant and bar tables. This lack of durability leads to a necessity to repurchase more frequently and an inefficient use of profits. That’s why when it’s time to replace, repurchasing new ones isn’t always cost-effective.
