Whether you are extending your dining area outside or making an outdoor restaurant altogether, you need the equipment and supplies listed below to make sure it is a success.

　　Dining Area

　　Optimize the space for comfort and style with the right furniture. Chairs and tables must be made with materials and finishes that can weather the outdoor aluminum dining set for sale challenges, but they should also create a beautiful space for your customers to enjoy a delicious meal.

　　Dining chairs

　　The chair will impact the dining experience from start to finish. So make sure you choose seating that is comfortable, but also tough enough to withstand outside elements and daily use.

　　Outdoor armchairs offer arm support for customers so they don’t have to put their arms on the table. Armless chairs allow you to maximize the outdoor space and they are often stackable for easy storage, although there are also stackable armchairs.

　　Dining tables

　　Tables come in tons of styles. If you are adding an outdoor area to your indoor dining room, keep the design uniform or complementary so it really feels like an extension of the inside. The table bases should also be strong to keep the table in place. There are also models that have a dedicated slot for an umbrella.

　　Depending on your outdoor dining concept, you can opt for vintage-style bases that have a more ornate design or simpler models with a weighted bottom. For larger tables, you want multiple columns to support the heavier weight.

　　Dining sets, patio tables, and picnic tables are a great way to sit in large groups and families. If you are set up under a pergola, you can go with a spacious setup that includes a couple of outdoor sofa seating and low-height tables. For something more intimate, you opt for round tables for two.

　　When it comes to an outdoor bar, you have a wealth of seating options. Bar stools may be backless while chairs with back support come in a few different heights.

　　A bar stool with a back provides added comfort to your guests that could help them stay longer and order more drinks. Backless, on the other hand, give you a clearer view of the dining area. There are swivel units that give guests more leeway to move while at the bar.

　　It will come down to your preference. If you want easy storage, go for stacking bar stools.

　　A major consideration in addition to the style, function, and construction of the furniture, is the height. A few notes:

　　Standard-height chairs that can work as dining chairs

　　Higher bar stools at 24 to 27 inches allow guests to reach the height of kitchen counters, which are around 36 inches

　　Tall bar stools at 28 to 33 inches high are the best option for drink bars where tables can be up to 42 inches tall

　　Choosing the right material

　　Plastic

　　Plastic chairs and tabletops are the most economical option for your outdoor dining. They are lightweight, weather-resistant, easy to move, and stay cool in the sun. However, they can’t be exposed to direct sunlight for long periods to prevent fading. They are available in plenty of designs, shapes, and colors so you can find the best style for your needs.

　　Metal

　　Metal chairs and tabletops are dependably built but they don’t hide scratches as well as their laminate countertops. Tabletops tend to be reflective, so you might want to adjust your table setting to prevent any glare that can annoy diners.

　　Metal chairs are durable and have a high weight capacity. They will look good in a classic or cafe setup.

　　Wood

　　Wood chairs offer a more natural look and help your customers just sit back and relax. They stay sturdy and will fit in most outdoor concepts. Wooden furniture is the perfect choice for an outdoor restaurant with greenery or any garden setting. Wood tables and chairs are sturdy, but keep in mind that they will need regular maintenance to retain their toughness and appearance.

　　Laminate

　　Laminate is a type of material used on tabletops. Multiple layers of plastic bonded together to create one indestructible piece. Laminate tabletops offer tons of flexibility in terms of design because they can be made to look like other materials, only tougher and easier to clean. The robust construction can withstand heavy use, is highly scratch-resistant, and is very easy to clean.

　　Wicker

　　Wicker furniture is a weave of synthetic rattan. To stand up to all outdoor conditions, operators opt for synthetic rattan, which is usually made of coated plastic, to mimic the beautiful appearance of authentic rattan while beefing up its strength.

　　You end up with a lightweight and easy-to-clean piece of furniture that will perform well no matter the season. Wicker furniture is pretty versatile as it can fit well in a modern setup, but also in a garden setup.

　　Steel

　　Steel furniture is a heavy-duty option that can weather the outdoors without occasional indoor storage. You will have to repaint them every now and then when they are scratched or the paint is peeled off. Cushioning will be required to make them more comfortable.

　　Aluminum

　　Aluminum is an excellent alternative to steel because it is light, easy to clean, and rust-proof. They need to be placed indoors during winter to maintain durability. Because of the tougher material, they won’t be foldable, which means they will require additional storage space compared to foldable counterparts. Light steel chairs, aluminum will also need cushioning.

　　Outdoor fencing

　　Fences help you separate the outdoor dining area from the sidewalk or street traffic to give diners privacy.

　　Shade and Ambiance

　　Umbrellas

　　Umbrellas provide shade for each guest. Place an umbrella on each table to make the dining a bit more intimate.

　　There are small and larger umbrellas you can choose from. You can use one for multiple tables as opposed to one umbrella table that can make the space look cramped.

　　You can also opt for awnings or canopies to keep the entire dining area cool. Retractable versions are great because they can be stashed during bad weather.

　　Patio covers, pergolas, and gazebos ensure durable and functional shelter that'll attract lovers of outdoor dining even on rainy days.

　　Signages

　　Have eye-catching signages that capture customer attention and effectively communicate your menu, promotions, or reminders.

　　Patio heaters
