What Are Your Choices When It Comes To Stacking Or Folding Chair Options?

Thankfully, the hospitality industry is very resilient. It was able to survive the travel downturn of 2001, energy crisis and subsequent recession and has rebounded very nicely. This may well be to do with the fact that we all like to get away from time to time, to gather as part of our natural human instinct. Conventions and meetings are still popular ways of building corporate brand loyalty and enhancing education. Weddings and family get-togethers will never go out of fashion as we celebrate our most important occasions.

Hospitality venue owners must cater for a broad cross-section of interests and tastes. It's important to be able to offer as many options, solutions and alternatives as possible to potential guests, to ensure that venues are as fully occupied as possible. Consequently, it is necessary to stock up with support items to cater for all budgets and tastes as well.

While a banquet hall may be the venue for a spectacular society wedding one week, it might be required for a low-key and relatively low-budget dinner for convention attendees the next. Being able to attract attendee groups of all shapes, sizes, budget and expectations is the key to flexibility and the maximisation of resources.

As such, the venue needs to be able to offer a variety of chairs, tables, decor and menus for each of its function rooms. As far as furniture is concerned, one type of folding chair may be acceptable to one group, but a different one may be of more relevance to another. During those long conventions comfort is always a major factor, so the standard of construction is also very important when considering your selection of folding chairs.

Space may be at a premium where storage is concerned and this is where a stackable chair will be worth its weight in gold. They typically come in steel, aluminium or wood. Sometimes the attendees will stipulate that chair covers be attached, but other times the standard and presentation of the chair will be an important part of the visual experience for the guests at the banquet.

The choice of folding banquet table is critical as these items will endure a lot of wear and tear over the course of their life. They should be strong, yet lightweight and once again be quickly storable. Remember that both round and trestle tables should be stocked. Often, a wedding party will look for a hollow square set up with the guest of honour at the top table. Conversely, a typical banquet will specify "rounds."

The more choices that the venue can offer the more likely it is that those expensive empty spaces will be filled as often as possible. As we have seen during the recent downturns, flexibility is everything for a hospitality venue these days and it is important to be able to cater for groups of all different sizes and demographics. Remember that to get an adequate return on investment (to say nothing of satisfaction) for all your chairs, tables and furniture stock, insist on the best quality construction from the outset.
