The Best Outdoor Chairs for Your Restaurant or Café

When running a successful café, restaurant, or bistro, your outdoor seating can be just as important as what’s on the menu. The right outdoor furniture not only enhances the aesthetic of your space but also needs to be durable, comfortable, and easy to maintain. At Mogo Direct, we offer a wide range of outdoor chairs that combine style with practicality, perfect for hospitality settings looking to make a lasting impression.

Here’s our guide to choosing the best outdoor chairs for your venue:

Stacking and Easy Storage

Restaurants and cafés often need to be flexible in how they use their outdoor space. Whether reconfiguring layouts for different events or storing furniture during the off-season, stackable and lightweight chairs make life much easier.

Stackable chairs allow for efficient storage without taking up too much space, while lightweight frames mean staff can quickly rearrange seating during service or in response to changing weather conditions. Despite their portability, Mogo Direct’s outdoor chairs don’t compromise on sturdiness or comfort. They’re built for commercial use and offer excellent support even with frequent handling.

This flexibility is especially valuable for smaller venues or businesses operating in areas with fluctuating weather, where quick packing and setup can make a big difference.

A Style to Match Your Brand

Your furniture contributes significantly to the overall atmosphere and branding of your space. The right chair can communicate a lot about your venue, from modern and minimalist to rustic and traditional.

At Mogo Direct, we offer a variety of styles to suit different aesthetics. Whether you’re aiming for a sleek, industrial look with clean metal frames or a relaxed, coastal vibe with rattan-style finishes, we can help you find chairs that enhance your setting. Colour options also allow you to align furniture with your brand palette or seasonal décor.

Keep in mind that visually appealing outdoor areas often attract walk-in customers. Investing in stylish, well-coordinated furniture can help you stand out and invite more people to stop and dine.

Low Maintenance is Key

Running a hospitality business is time-intensive, and the last thing your team needs is outdoor furniture that requires constant upkeep. Outdoor chairs should be easy to clean and maintain and built to withstand regular spills, crumbs, and exposure to the elements.

Our range of outdoor chairs is designed with easy-to-clean surfaces, including wipeable plastic and coated metal finishes. These materials resist staining and won’t absorb moisture, meaning they stay hygienic and visually appealing with minimal effort.

This is especially important in high-traffic environments where tables and chairs are constantly used. A quick wipe-down between customers should be all that is needed to keep your outdoor seating area fresh and welcoming.

Comfort That Encourages Longer Stays

While durability and practicality are vital, comfort shouldn’t be overlooked. Comfortable seating encourages guests to stay longer, relax, and order more. A poorly designed chair can make even the best meal less enjoyable.

Our outdoor chairs are ergonomically designed to support good posture and reduce pressure points during extended sitting. Some models also allow you to add optional cushions or seat pads, which can be easily removed and stored when not in use.

If your venue focuses on extended dining experiences, such as evening meals, brunches, or drinks with friends, investing in comfortable seating is a smart move that can positively impact customer satisfaction and drive repeat business.

Suitable for All Kinds of Venues

Outdoor seating needs vary based on venue type and layout. A café with limited pavement space may benefit from compact, café-style chairs that are light and movable. At the same time, a gastropub with a garden area might prefer more robust and anchored options.

At Mogo Direct, we cater to all kinds of hospitality venues, including:

• Street cafés and coffee shops
• Hotel terraces
• Restaurant patios
• Pub beer gardens
• Event and catering setups
  

No matter your setting, we’ll help you choose chairs that balance form and function while meeting safety, space, and aesthetic requirements.
