Ultimate FAQ Guide to Stainless Steel Restaurant Table

What Are Some Advantages Of Stainless Steel Restaurant Tables?

Stainless steel is great for restaurant tables.

This material is very resistant to various conditions like heat, humidity, impact, and chemicals.         

Thus, the restaurant table will serve you longer than other types of materials.

You can even use them for outdoor cafes because stainless steel is weatherproof.

Stainless steel is non-porous, making it a hygienic material to serve food on—no toxins or bacteria will settle and get absorbed into the surface.

Stainless steel is easy to clean, is durable, and requires very little maintenance.

And if you are cautious about the environment, know that things manufactured from stainless steel can be recycled.

Stainless steel restaurant tables provide a sleek, industrial look, which can add style and simplicity to your restaurant or cafe.

However, we can also manufacture custom decorative stainless steel tables for hotels.

If you are looking for a stainless steel restaurant table manufacturer, KDM is here for you!

We can also manufacture restaurant cabinets, and much more.

Stainless steel restaurant tables are also very multifunctional, as they can serve as work tables, and prep tables.

What Are Some Disadvantages Of Stainless Steel Restaurant Tables?

Stainless steel restaurant tables may not be for your business if you worry about noise, scratches, or fingerprints, since metal, in general, is susceptible to these.

Especially if you have metal cutlery or tools, they will clang against the stainless steel surface of restaurant tables.

This may be bothersome; although, you can soften the noise with cloth or napkins.

Scratches can also appear on stainless steel surfaces, but that depends on the polish you choose: mirror polish will suffer from scratches the most, while a brushed finish will mask scratches.

Scratched stainless steel

Same goes for fingerprints.

Stainless steel can also get stained—not rusted, but stained—especially if the table is subjected to outdoor conditions.

These can damage the aesthetics of the restaurant table, but all of this can be cleaned.

Also, stainless steel has a cold feeling—visually—so if your restaurant needs coziness and warmth, stainless steel may not be for you.

What Type Of Stainless Steel Is Used For Restaurant Tables?

Stainless steel is made by adding chromium, nickel, and molybdenum in different proportions to the iron-carbon alloy.

Steel grades differ in the content of all these additives.

Stainless steel restaurant tables are manufactured from steel grades 304, 316, and 430.

316 stainless steel grade protects the best against salt spray, certain acids and bases, and high temperatures because of its higher concentration of molybdenum.

Stainless steel

Grade 316 is, thus, really good for food-related applications like restaurant tables.

Grade 304 is cheaper and more common in general use than grade 316, but less corrosion-resistant.

There are also 316L or 304L stainless steel grades.

Grades 316L and 304L have a lower carbon content, making them a little bit stronger.

However, these types of steel are not very frequently used on the market.

Steel grade 430 is also very popular and cheap, but less durable than grades 304 and 316.

Grade 430 is less resistant to corrosion, although it has a high concentration of chromium.

We especially recommend grades 304 and 316 for stainless steel restaurant tables: because one is cheap and the other is exceptionally durable.

However, stainless steel restaurant tables are not made from steel only.

Often, such tables have a wooden or MDF substrate core that a stainless steel sheet is wrapped around.

Wooden substrate 

Unless, the table top is thin and cheap, which can be used in gas station courts, fast food restaurants, or portable cafes.

What Gauge Stainless Steel Is Best For Restaurant Tables?

Lower steel gauges are stronger, thicker, and more expensive.

Commercial applications, like restaurant and hotel restaurant tables, usually request stainless steel of gauge 10-18.

Thicker gauge is better for big tables, while thinner gauge is better for cheaper fast-food tables.

Stainless steel gauge

What Is The Standard Size Of A Stainless Steel Restaurant Table?

Usually, each diner is supposed to have a minimum of 300 square inches of space, or 0.19 square meters.

Thus, fast food restaurant tables are usually 76 by 106 centimeters.

However, restaurant tables may be bigger depending on the design and wealth of the restaurant.

How Much Weight Can A Stainless Steel Restaurant Table Hold?

A regular stainless steel restaurant table of minimum size 76 by 106, can hold roughly 540 pounds, which is equivalent to 245 kilograms.

The table can hold more depending on its base or legs.

What Legs Can Stainless Steel Restaurant Tables Have?

Stainless steel restaurant tables can have all sorts of legs and feet.

There can be a single leg, or multiple legs.

Often, cafe and fast food tables have a single leg.

These can be square or rounded, and the choice depends on the aesthetics you seek.

 Square and rounded leg

Although, if your restaurant is focused on families with children, then rounded legs are better, so that the kids don’t bump into corners of the table leg.

Things get more interesting with multiple legs.

These can also be square or rounded.

There can be regular 4 legs at the corners of the table, or 4 legs as 2 П-like arcs or V-like frames.

    V-like frame

There can also be 2 double-leg frames, where 2 legs are together.

Similarly, there can be 3-leg frames.

These configurations create more stable legs for bigger tables.

You can also request a single 3-legged or 2-legged frame for cafe tables as well.

2-legged stainless steel frame

The legs can also be trapezium-shaped.

For outdoor cafes, X-shaped and A-shaped table legs are usually used, and they provide great stability.

Besides these more geometrical restaurant table leg frames, you can request organic shapes.

    Oval and circular legs

This includes circular, oval, and various flowy shapes.

Other than that, the design is not limited by much.

There can be modern-style interlocking bars for a modern bar or elegant hotel.

stainless steel restaurant legs

We also have vintage-looking table legs and various ornamented legs perfect for Victorian-style restaurants and hotels.

Vintage-style leg

Stainless steel restaurant table legs can have any design you want, so you are welcome to contact us and tell us about your ideas.

What Feet And Bases Can Stainless Steel Restaurant Tables Have?

There are various bases restaurant tables can have.

Bases

These depend on the type of legs chosen, but general designs of bases are the following: continuation of leg, circular, square, rectangular, X-shaped, and many more.

Continuation of the leg is a simple base and requires minimal extra attention and designing.

Choosing a base is mostly a design choice.

Although, multi-legged frames are better with longer bases, and the bigger the base, the more balanced the table will be.

   Stainless steel table bases

As for feet, you can request simple feet, bullet feet, adjustable feet.

Simple feet are small rubber projections from the leg or base that serve to resist slipping and keep the table on one spot.

They can be on a screw, or they can be slightly bigger.

   Simple feet on a screw

The difference between them is small, so it depends on what legs you choose.

As a rule of thumb, less stable legs should have bigger feet.

Bigger simple feet

Bullet feet are thinner than the leg, and are commonly used.

Although, they may not be as stable as other types of feet.

 Stainless steel bullet feet

They can be made from stainless steel, rubber, or plastic.

Adjustable feet are circular and they have a ball joint, so these feet can rotate and tilt in any direction.

These are great for uneven surfaces since they will tilt and adjust to any angle.

They are also called leveling feet.

 Stainless steel adjustable feet

These are great for outdoor cafe tables, where levelling feet will adjust to the unequal ground.

What Designs Of Stainless Steel Restaurant Tables Are There?

The tables themselves can also be different shapes.

Usually, they are square or circular, but rectangular and oval ones are possible as well.

Triangular stainless steel restaurant table

Moreover, triangular tables can also be requested, especially for atmospheric, ‘hipster’ cafes.

You can request a restaurant table of any size, so the design is not limited by anything—except the minimum area required per diner.

What Is A Stackable Restaurant Table?

A stackable table is one that can be stacked into a pile with other tables.

Because the inner and outer legs are arranged in pairs, the table is stackable.

These tables can be rotated and placed together to form continuous rows, or a long table.

Stackable stainless steel table

Plus, the edge of the top frame is often equipped with stacking and glide protection so these do not get scratched.

Because of the construction of the legs, many decorative and single-legged models cannot be stacked.

Can There Be Adjustable Restaurant Tables?

Adjustable height stainless steel restaurant tables are possible to manufacture.

Such tables can be used for various events and venues.

Usually, a table is made lower for dining, and raised for bars and concert venues.

Adjustable tables also help make your restaurant more inclusive and earn you service points.

If your patrons need a taller or shorter table height, this can be adjusted.

Also, this is beneficial for storage: you can make the tables shorter while you store them to save space.

These tables have adjustable legs, where half of it is hidden inside the other half.

There can be screws that, upon loosening, allow the user to raise the table up or lower it down, and then tighten the screws again.

Adjustable stainless steel restaurant table

There can also be a mechanism that uses manual force of turning a handle to change the height of the legs, like a jack.

Usually, this is easier to do with single-legged tables, but it is also possible with more legs.

What Extra Features Can Stainless Steel Restaurant Tables Have?

Restaurant tables are fairly simple, so there is not much that can be added to their design.

You can add bars between the table legs, or around a single leg, as a footrest.

    Bars

This will also provide additional stability to the table.

These bars are usually welded, although they can be screwed in to let you take them off if necessary.

  Single-leg footrest

Besides these, there is a small accessory that can make the life of your patrons easier.

This is a hook for bags and umbrellas so that people can hang their stuff either under the table or at its side to keep it off the floor.

Table hooks

These hooks can be fastened to the table underside, or to the leg(s), depending on your design.

Finally, another accessory, or rather, a design idea, is a table with connected chairs–also referred to as a canteen.

This is used often in school, university, and workplace cafeterias, as well as some fast-food restaurants and outdoor dining areas.

Connected stainless steel restaurant tables and chairs

Mostly, it is done so that the chairs don’t get lost or stolen.

The chairs then become extended table legs with seats.

They can be welded, but this may prove to be difficult in transportation, so usually, they are put together with screws and brackets.

What Is An Edge Profile Of Stainless Steel Restaurant Table?

An edge profile is the design of the restaurant table’s edges.

Different types of edges have different aesthetics and functional purposes.

There are several ways to design an edge: square, beveled, bullnose, and marine.

Square edges—also called ‘flat’ edges—are the most common ones, and they look very professional.

Straight edge

Beveled edges are sloped either on the top, or both top and bottom.

This creates a safer edge, since there is no sharp top part.

Beveled edges also have a round look combined with the strictness of the slope.

Bullnose edges are rounded, providing safety against bumping into a sharp edge.

 Edge profiles

Such an edge profile is especially good for family restaurants, where parents go with their children or entertainment places for children, since kids can hit their head on the restaurant table, and rounded edges won’t hurt as much.

Marine edges are slightly raised to prevent liquid from splashing onto the floor.

Such edges are functional for moving tables, but if they are stationary, they may not be comfortable to eat at.

  Marine edge

Such edges are popular in restaurants aboard ships or in trains, so that food won’t fall off the restaurant table.

What Coatings And Finishes Can A Stainless Steel Restaurant Table Top Have?

You can request various polishes like satin, brushed, mirror, hammered, antique matte, cross, vibration, ring, pattern, and many more.

Satin polish is an abrasive polish that uses aluminum oxide as an abrasive substance.

 Polishing stainless steel

This finish produces a fairly smooth surface good for stainless steel tables.

There is also a brushed/hairline finish, which shows lines and is rougher to touch.

The brushed polish also does not show scratches and fingerprints.

Brushed vs satin polish

Cross polish is similar to brushed, but the lines meet at 45-degree angles.

Mirror polish is exactly what it sounds like — a very smooth mirror surface.

It is easier to clean, but any scratches and fingerprints are very prominent on such a surface.

Mirror polish does look very aesthetic, industrial, and futuristic.

Mirror finish

Antique matte gives the restaurant a very soft look.

It guards against fingerprints and has a grainy texture similar to cross polish.

      Antique matte finish

Hammered finish has a unique look.

It has dents all over it, which aren’t very functional, but grant a special aesthetic effect.

  Hammered polish on a table

Vibration polish is basically brushed polish, but the lines are non-directional.

Such polish reflects the light in an interesting way, looking expensive.

It also protects from fingerprints.

 Vibration polish

Ring polish creates a ring-like pattern on the surface, which looks futuristic.

 Ring polish

Also, there are pattern embossments, which can be of any shape: square, teardrop, circle, etc.

These embossments provide an industrial look, so if your cafe needs that aesthetic, these are for you.

Embossed stainless steel surface

Also, embossed tables are common in American diners.

Similarly, you can request an engraved pattern.

Engraving a stainless steel restaurant table produces elegant results.

Usually, about 0.005 inches or 0.010 inches of metal is removed from the surface.

Once the metal has been removed, it is filled in with epoxy paint of any color to match your requirements.

Engraved table

You can also request different decorative coatings that add colour to stainless steel.

Such coatings are usually coloured metals that are electroplated—and sometimes lacquered as well—on top of stainless steel.

Electroplating is a process that involves passing an electrical current through 2 metals, where one metal takes ions from the other metal.

As a result, one metal gets coating with another, while the other corrodes.

Stainless steel can be electroplated with various metals.

You can request brass, bronze, or gold for a yellow, orange, or warm brown colour.

Copper goes for reddish and pink colours.

Chrome, nickel, cadmium, and pewter give cool-tones silvers and greys.

       Electroplated coatings

Finally, the tables can be painted with epoxy or powder coating.

Some of the coatings that are popular include baked enamel and powder coating.

Baked enamel is a hard, glossy varnish made from a resin that is baked at high temperatures.

Such enamel is very resistant to wear, so the restaurant table will serve your business longer.

Powder coating is when powder paint is electrostatically sprayed onto a metal surface.

Painted stainless steel restaurant table

Both coatings can be of any colour.

We can also paint it according to your colour swatch, Pantone, RGB, or RAL colour request.

However, most manufacturers opt for powder coating because it does not produce toxins that baking enamel does.

Also, powder coating has a better edge coverage.

We can decorate the tables according to your design, which can be as difficult as elegant restaurant tables.
