How to plan seating for hotel and restaurant terraces

Capacity, service aisles and brand atmosphere must work together. Here is a contract-ready layout framework we use on projects.

Read capacity from square metres

Allow roughly 1.8–2.4 m² net per two-seat setting, plus 90–110 cm for service paths. Narrow balconies favour banquette + table; wider terraces suit modular L layouts.

Operations reality

Do not block plate-carrying routes with furniture. Wipeable cushions and movable side tables keep peak season smooth.

Brand language and materials

Boutique hotels lean toward solid wood and warm textiles; city cafés often prefer aluminium frames with hard-wearing fabrics. DLM Garden handles measure, production and delivery as one team.
