Why the Right Tables Can Increase Covers, Revenue & Guest Experience in Hospitality Venues

In the hospitality trade, space is everything. Every square metre needs to work hard, and the tables you choose play a much bigger role than most people realise. Well-designed, bespoke tables can increase the number of covers, improve customer flow, reinforce your brand identity, and unlock new revenue streams.

At The Table Guy, we work closely with restaurants, pubs, bars, cafés, and hotels to design tables that maximise covers without compromising the dining experience.

A Mixture of Colours & Styles

Maximising Covers Without Compromising Comfort.

One of the most common issues in hospitality venues is underutilised floor space. Tables that are too large, poorly proportioned, or inflexible can quietly cost you covers every single service.

In many cases, adding just two extra covers — without cramming guests or sacrificing comfort — can make a meaningful difference.

What does 2 extra covers really mean?

Let’s take a medium-priced restaurant as an example:

• Average spend per head: £35

• 2 additional covers per sitting = £70 per service

• 2 sittings per day = £140 per day

• Open 6 days per week = £840 per week

• Over a year = £43,000+ in additional revenue

That extra revenue is achieved through smarter table sizing and layout — not longer opening hours or increased staffing.

Bespoke Tables Designed for Your Floor Plan

Off-the-shelf tables are built to standard dimensions. Bespoke hospitality tables are designed specifically for your floor plan, service style, and capacity targets.

We design tables to:

• Fit exact wall lengths and walkways

• Maintain comfortable spacing between guests

• Improve circulation for staff and customers

• Adapt layouts for busy services and quieter periods

The result is more covers, smoother service, and a better overall guest experience — even at peak times.

Tables That Match Your Brand & Enhance the Experience

Tables are one of the most visually dominant elements in any hospitality space. Done well, they reinforce your brand and elevate the atmosphere.

We can colour-match tables to your venue’s theme, including:

• Painted frames matched to brand colours

• Natural wood finishes for warm, premium interiors

• Industrial metal bases for modern venues

• Durable outdoor finishes for terraces and beer gardens

A consistent look creates a more memorable experience, encouraging repeat visits and organic social sharing.
