Frequently asked questions

How much furniture do you need for a company restaurant?

How much furniture you need for a company restaurant mainly depends on the number of employees, the available space and the number of people using the restaurant at the same time. It is therefore not necessarily necessary to provide a fixed seat for every employee. Instead, consider when the company restaurant is busiest and how many employees want to have lunch or take a break at the same time. Start by determining the desired number of seats. A company where employees have lunch in several shifts, for example, will need fewer seats than a company where almost everyone takes a break at the same time. You should also consider the different ways in which the space will be used. In addition to standard tables with chairs, high tables with bar stools, benches or a lounge area can provide more variety and create different seating options.

Which materials are suitable for a company restaurant?

Furniture in a company restaurant is used intensively every day. That is why strong, easy-to-maintain and durable materials are particularly suitable. The material should not only match the desired look, but also be resistant to stains, scratches, knocks and frequent cleaning. Suitable materials include HPL, aluminium, as well as durable and low-maintenance upholstery fabrics, for example.

Sustainable furniture for your company restaurant: What should you consider?

When choosing sustainable furniture for a company restaurant, it is important to look beyond the material a piece of furniture is made from. Durability, quality and ease of maintenance are equally important. Furniture in a company restaurant is used intensively every day and therefore needs to withstand frequent sitting, moving, cleaning and knocks. By choosing sturdy furniture made from high-quality materials that can last for many years, you can avoid having to replace tables and chairs too quickly.

Which materials are suitable for hospitality chairs?

Suitable materials for hospitality chairs include wood, metal, plastic and aluminium. For upholstery, hard-wearing fabrics, faux leather and other easy-to-maintain materials are popular choices. The best option depends on the type of hospitality business and the intensity of use. Preferably choose materials that are durable, easy to clean and able to withstand intensive use.

What is a good chair for a restaurant?

A good restaurant chair should above all be comfortable, sturdy and durable. Choose a chair that is suitable for intensive daily use, easy to clean and provides sufficient seating comfort for guests who spend longer periods at the table. The chair should also complement the style of the interior and be practical to use, for example with hard-wearing upholstery and a sturdy construction.

How much space do you need for chairs in a restaurant?

In a restaurant, it is important to allow enough space around each chair. As a general guideline, allow approximately 60 cm of space per seat. In a busy restaurant, a little more space is preferable, so guests and staff can easily pass each other. The exact amount of space depends on the table arrangement, the type of chair and the desired walkways.

What is the difference between a hospitality chair and a regular dining chair?

A hospitality chair is specifically designed for intensive and long-term use in restaurants, cafés and hotels. That is why hospitality chairs are generally sturdier, more durable and easier to maintain than regular dining chairs. They often feature hard-wearing upholstery, a strong construction and materials that can withstand frequent use and cleaning. A regular dining chair is primarily designed for use at home and therefore does not need to withstand the same level of heavy use.

Can I customise every chair according to my preferences?

Almost all indoor hospitality chairs in our range are fully customisable. Consider different fabric types for the seat and/or backrest, the wood colour of the frame, or the caps on the underside of the chair legs. For all customisable chairs, you will find a symbol with a colour palette on the website. If this is not present, it is a stock model that can only be ordered in the colour and material shown in the photo.

What is the ideal seat height for a hospitality chair?

Most chairs in our collection have a seat height between 45 and 50 centimetres. For most people, this is the ideal height for sitting with their feet flat on the floor and their knees bent at a 90-degree angle. Of course, it is also important that there is sufficient (but not too much) space between the seat and the table height. Ideally, this distance should be between 25 and 30 centimetres. Don't forget to take any armrests into account. You can find the height of the armrests in the product descriptions for each chair on our website.

Will my chair be delivered assembled?

Not all hospitality chairs are delivered assembled, mainly to save space and thus transport costs. You can find out whether a particular model is assembled or not in the product details for each item on our website.

Can I put together my own hospitality table?

In addition to a collection of tables, we also have a large selection of individual table tops and bases, both for indoor and outdoor use. From large to small, from round to square: the possibilities are endless! Ask one of our staff members which combination would best suit your restaurant, café, hotel, or terrace.

What can I do if my table is unstable?

Even though we would like it to be, not every surface is flat. Aids such as coasters or napkins can help, but of course they don't look very nice. That's why Kaja offers Flat Equalizers, table leg caps that adapt to your table and surface. Comfortable for you and your guests!

What can I do to best care for my teak table top?

Teak is a natural product that can basically be left outdoors all year round, but that doesn't mean it doesn't need any care. Without proper care, cracks can develop in the material over time. It is best to oil the boards once a year (preferably before winter) with a special oil. Kaja offers these oils in brown and grey.

What requirements must a hospitality terrace chair meet?

A hospitality terrace chair must meet certain conditions. First and foremost, it must be comfortable. If guests are comfortable sitting on your terrace, they will stay longer and be more likely to order something from your menu. In addition, a hospitality terrace chair for the catering industry must be of high quality. You don't want to have to replace the chairs after just one year, so the quality of the materials plays an important role.

What is the average lifespan of a hospitality terrace chair?

The lifespan depends greatly on how you maintain your terrace chairs and the conditions to which they are exposed. For example, if the chairs are located on an open beach, they will require more maintenance than if they are placed between walls and are hardly exposed to the elements.

Are the hospitality terrace chairs stackable and easy to store?

Yes, most of our hospitality terrace chairs are stackable. This is ideal to save space when storing the chairs, for example when you want to clean your terrace or store the chairs away for the winter.

What constitutes a good office chair according to the Consumers’ Association?

According to the consumer protection association, a good office chair is one that performs well in terms of seating comfort, ergonomics and adjustability. These are therefore important factors to consider when choosing a new office chair. The adjustability of the backrest, armrests and height are important aspects of a good office chair. But a high level of seating comfort is also very important. After all, you sit on the chair for long periods of time, and you don't want to suffer from back or neck problems after a while. The Kaja office chair meets all these requirements and offers you and your employees a high level of seating comfort.

What should I take into account when buying an office chair?

When buying a new office chair for your office or home office, there are several things you should consider. Of course, aspects such as price and value for money are important points to consider. But these are not the most important points. An office chair is used intensively and you often sit on it for several hours at a time. Therefore, it is important that it is comfortable and does not cause back or neck problems. Important factors for your new office chair are therefore comfort and ergonomics. It is also important that both the seat and the armrests are height-adjustable.
