Restaurant and cafe fit-out from China fails on the piece a guest uses a hundred times a month: chair, table, bar, tap. An apartment furniture catalogue does not help. Hospitality wants durability, spare parts and a date that matches opening.
Hotel, restaurant and office programme starts on interior fit-out from China. Here is the narrower angle: hall, bar and wet room. We do not draw interiors and we do not run trades. We bring what the spec says.
Chairs and tables that must last a shift
A cafe chair is not a living-room chair. On the sample, not in an office, have someone sit, move, spill water and leave it overnight. If the finish whites or a leg squeaks on the sample, the series will do the same.
Look at:
- weight and stability on a tile that is not perfect
- wear points: upholstery, seat edge, leg joint
- whether cover or seat swap without a new chair
- a table that does not swell from spilled drink and that comes off the base if the base stays
- whether chairs stack, if the venue has no warehouse
Factory MOQ is often larger than seats in one venue. A 40-seat room must not buy a quote written for 200 pieces “to see”. Either combine several venues into one series, or accept a small-run price, or take a finished model the factory already runs. Do not let a 200 floor become a plan for one hall.
Spare chairs travel in the same fabric lot. “We will order later” means another shade in three months, right when the first one splits.
A bar that measures the wall, not the catalogue
The bar needs a site measure. The drawing must have worktop height, pass to the kitchen, machine space and the side the guest approaches from. Otherwise metal arrives exact to the quote and wrong to the wall. A metal fix after that is a new position, not “we cut a bit”.
Metal and stone travel in different packing from a chair. A pallet corner kills a top that looked like one piece in a photo. Pre-load QC opens the box. Counting stickers is not QC.
If the bar is custom and chairs can be a finished model, do not let the bar drawing hold the chair date. Split what must wait for measure, and what can start earlier.
Sanitary before fabric
Tiles, basins and taps do not come from the same factory as chairs. They must not be late versus the tiler. Calibre and shade lock on a physical sample, under the light that will be in the venue. Another pallet of “similar grey” shows on the wall.
Breakage, pallet and HS: building-materials import from China. Do not mix that story into chair buying. Align dates: the wet room must be closed before furniture enters the hall. Otherwise fabric dusts from works and you wash a series before opening.
A tap has spare parts. A tile has reserve from the same kiln. That goes in the first PO, not in a second when the wall already stands.
Light above the table
The guest photographs the table. Light that buzzes or shifts colour piece to piece shows in that photo. Lighting has its own sample and lead. Lighting import from China runs in parallel. Do not push a pendant into the chair container if the factory is not the same and glass wants another carton.
Back from the opening date
- Install and small fixes on site.
- Unload and count by code, not “furniture is arriving”.
- Sea and customs.
- Production after approved sample.
- Sample and correction.
- Spec.
If between today and opening there is less time than that sum, cut the number of custom pieces. A finished chair model arrives faster. Custom can still run, but not on a date that has already passed.
A 60-seat hall with chairs that do not stack means more cubes than the owner expects. Sum volume before quantity. CBM calculator is an orientation. Real carton is measured on a packing sample.
We do not run site trades. We source, QC and ship what the spec locked. Contact with seat count and opening date.
