Opening a new restaurant or renovating your dining space shouldn’t mean coordinating furniture from multiple vendors. At All About Seating, we manufacture everything your restaurant needs right here in Chicago—from custom restaurant booths and tables to commercial chairs, millwork, and upholstery services.

Since 2000, we’ve been designing and building commercial-grade hospitality furniture for restaurants, bars, cafes, hotels, and commercial dining spaces across the country. Our in-house manufacturing facility gives us complete control over quality, customization, and delivery timelines. Every piece is engineered for high-traffic restaurant environments—constant use, frequent cleaning, and the need to maintain appearance year after year.

Whether you’re furnishing a 20-seat neighborhood bistro, a 200-seat casual dining restaurant, or a multi-location franchise, our team brings over two decades of experience to help you make decisions that balance aesthetics, durability, and budget.

Restaurant Booths: Maximize Seating Capacity

Restaurant booths remain one of the most efficient seating solutions, increasing capacity by up to 30% compared to traditional table-and-chair arrangements. Our custom booths are built to your exact specifications—dimensions, upholstery, configuration, and style.

Booth Configurations Available:

We manufacture straight single booths for wall seating, L-shaped corner booths to maximize corners, U-shaped wraparound booths for larger parties, and circular booths for dramatic focal points. Every booth starts with premium hardwood frames providing years of structural integrity. We fabricate each piece to your measurements, accounting for walls, columns, and architectural elements.

Inside Back Design Options:

The inside back creates significant visual impact. Choose from vertical channel tufting (available in 2-12 inch spacing), square-tufted patterns for dimensional luxury, diamond-tufted classics, horizontal channeling for contemporary spaces, or smooth upholstered backs for minimalist aesthetics. Each design accommodates commercial-grade upholstery materials necessary for restaurant use.

Commercial-Grade Upholstery:

We offer hundreds of commercial-grade vinyl and fabric options—stain-resistant, antimicrobial, fire-rated, and easy to clean. Coordinate your booth upholstery with restaurant chair cushions through our upholstery services to create unified seating throughout your restaurant. 

Booth pricing varies based on size, configuration, and materials. Larger orders typically receive volume pricing advantages.

Restaurant Tables: Built for Daily Service

Your restaurant tables face more abuse than any other furniture—heavy plates, hot dishes, constant spills, and multiple daily cleanings. We manufacture commercial table tops in-house at our Chicago facility, delivering consistent quality with lead times significantly shorter than imported furniture.

Table Top Materials

Laminate Table Tops:

The most popular choice for restaurants due to affordability, low maintenance, and durability. We offer over 100 finish options, including wood grains, solid colors, and concrete looks. These surfaces resist scratches, stains, and heat—ideal for high-volume restaurants with quick table turns.

Butcher Block & Wood Table Tops:

Real wood brings character that laminate cannot replicate. Our solid hardwood tops—oak, maple, walnut, cherry-come as seamless plank tops with smooth finishes or rustic tops with hand-distressed wood and aged character. Perfect for breweries, farm-to-table restaurants, and upscale casual dining where natural warmth creates inviting atmospheres.

Solid Surface Table Tops:

For premium restaurants, solid surface delivers seamless, high-end aesthetics. These non-porous materials resist bacteria, moisture, and heat while maintaining appearance through heavy use. Excellent for upscale dining, hotel restaurants, and anywhere hygiene and appearance standards are elevated.

Restaurant Table Bases

Commercial-grade bases ensure stability in high-traffic settings. Pedestal bases maximize legroom. Disc bases provide weighted stability for smaller tops. X-bases deliver modern industrial looks. Four-leg bases suit rectangular tables. Bar height bases accommodate counter seating.

All bases include adjustable glides for uneven floors—critical in older buildings. Available in black, chrome, brushed metal, bronze, and custom powder-coated colors.

Restaurant Chairs & Commercial Seating

The right restaurant chairs balance comfort, durability, and style. Since 2000, we’ve worked with Chicago’s top interior designers creating seating that handles commercial demands without sacrificing aesthetics.

Custom Millwork & Cabinetry for Restaurants

Great restaurants need more than seating. Our custom millwork services provide the architectural elements and functional fixtures that complete your space.

Service Stations & Workstations

Custom-built service stations boost workflow efficiency by giving staff quick access to utensils, napkins, and condiments while blending into your design. Available as modular or built-in designs, finished in matching laminate or wood, and designed to meet ADA and health code standards.

Back Bars & Custom Bar Tops

Your bar is often your restaurant’s centerpiece. We create stylish, durable back bars and custom bar tops built to handle daily traffic. Choose from wood, laminate, or stone tops with integrated shelving, under-bar storage, optional lighting, and glassware racks.

Custom Cabinetry

We design cabinets that maximize storage and streamline workflow. Front-of-house cabinetry maintains your aesthetic while providing storage. Under-bar cabinets keep supplies organized. POS stations and beverage stations are custom-built and finished to match your interior.

Architectural Millwork

Add character with expertly fabricated wall panels, ceiling beams, soffits, and decorative trims. Feature walls create focal points. Ceiling slat systems add dimension and can incorporate acoustic panels for noise control.

The same craftsmen who build your restaurant booths and tables fabricate your millwork, ensuring consistency in quality and finish.
