Restaurant booths can be a smart addition to your seating plan. Customers usually prefer booths for their comfort and privacy. They can also help maximize your dining room floor space. Despite the fact that restaurant booths usually require more of an investment upfront, booths actually make a more efficient use of space than other types of restaurant furniture, such as tables and chairs. A booth that seats 4 people typically takes up about 3000 square inches of floor spaces whereas a table and 4 chairs can take up more than 5000 square inches of floor space.
Your booth dimensions will help determine the how far apart you should space them in order to maximize use of your floor space. Standard seating depth for restaurant booths should be 16" – 18". In a standard seating layout the booth should align with the edge of the table. The total booth width will range between 64" – 74". The seat back depth should be 3" – 4" and typical seat heights are 16" – 18". To help ensure proper spacing, for a 30" wide table, there should be 72" from the middle of the table to the center of the top caps. For a 24" wide table there should be 66" from the middle of the table to the center of the top caps. The top cap is the top part of the booth. link to here: Restaurant booth dimensions

Restaurant Booths Designs and Styles:
Deuce Single Booth
Similar to single booths, deuce booths are designed to provide guests with added measure of style and privacy and to ensure a comfortable and intimate dining experience. They are often confused with double booths which are essentially single booths built with back-to-back benches in an aisle. In contrast, deuce booths are a one-person booth making them more compact and ideal for small places.

Wall benches are a convenient way to maximize seating while providing customers with comfortable seating. These versatile benches can be used against a wall or at a table for additional seating. Great of optimizing dining spaces without making them look cramped; these comfortable and spacious seating units are a great alternative to dining chairs. They tend to be sturdier and more durable and therefore can stand up to daily use.
Laminated Restaurant Booths

These booths are constructed with an eye-catching laminated base that requires very little maintenance. The protective laminate material makes these booths easy to clean and long lasting. The booths come with a cushioned seat and back, upholstered in the material and color of your choice.
