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.

One of the advantages of restaurant booths is that they can be customized to your exact specifications based on your needs and preferences. Booths can be custom made in any size or shape and they can also be made out of just about any material.

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.
