Restaurant Seating
Replacement CT

New seats for the chairs you already have. The restaurant seating replacement CT dining rooms really need is usually a pad on a pan held by four bolts, not a whole new set of furniture.

Fresh foam on the seat pan of a banquet chair
Which part has worn out

A new seat is not a new chair

A booth is a plywood box fixed to the wall, and a banquet chair is a welded steel frame. Either one will see off three or four sets of seats. On most commercial seating, the part that is actually worn out is a pad sitting on a pan, fastened with four bolts and quick to change. So when a supplier prices new chairs, most of that figure pays for a frame you already own that still has years left in it. Ask for a price for each replaceable unit instead.

Units we replace

Decks, pads, pans and backs

Restaurant seating replacement CT jobs seldom involve the same unit twice. A booth has a deck, a banquet chair has a pad, an office chair has a molded pan. Each is priced on its own terms and each comes off in its own way.

How a rotation works

Off, to the workshop, and back

The case for counting units instead of chairs is about logistics. With a spare set, a disruptive refurbishment becomes a steady rotation your guests never notice.

What travels

  • A cushion stripped down for reupholstery
    The worn padsThey come off the frame and go to the workshop in a batch.
  • Stapling a new cover onto an office chair seat in the workshop
    Rebuilt at the benchDone in the workshop, where the work is clean and controlled.
  • Springs and foam on a vinyl seat frame
    The frame gets a lookWhile the pad is off, since that is the only time it can be reached.

What you keep

  • New foam on plywood banquette bases
    Booth boxesThe plywood carcasses built into the room, reused as is.
  • Elastic webbing strung across a banquette frame
    Webbing and springsRenewed only in the spots where they have failed.
  • Green cushions on a teak banquette base
    Bases and legsChosen for your room once; there is no reason to pay for them again.
How it works

Count units, not chairs

  1. Name the unit

    A deck, a pad or a pan. The quote should be built on that.

  2. Plan the rotation

    A spare set, or batches small enough that the dining room stays open.

  3. Rebuild in the workshop

    New foam at a stated density, under the cover you chose.

  4. Check the seated height

    Each rebuilt unit is sat on and measured, because height matters.

How this fits with the rest

The unit, the cover and the foam

This page covers the unit. The cover on it is leather, vinyl or fabric, and inside it is foam, which is what decides whether the new seat really feels new.

Questions

Restaurant Seating Replacement CT FAQ

Questions operators ask before they replace seats.

Do we need to buy new chairs?

Usually not. Restaurant seating replacement CT work tends to be a pad or a deck on a frame with plenty of life left, and the frame is most of the price of a new chair.

Can we stay open while it happens?

Yes, by rotating. A spare set goes on, the worn set goes to the workshop to be rebuilt, and it returns as the next batch of spares.

How many seats can go at once?

As many as you can do without. That is the only real limit, and you set it, not us.

Our chairs have welded steel frames. Does that help?

It helps a great deal. Welded frames outlive several sets of pads, which is exactly why swapping units beats buying chairs.

Will the new seats match the old ones?

Only when the whole run comes from a single batch. Replace half a run and you end up with two colors and two heights, the mistake we see most often.

Get started

Flip one chair over

Take a photo of the underside of a single seat. Four bolts and a pan means you are buying units, not furniture.
