Improve Your Front of House Decor with These 3 Stainless Steel Items
Restaurant decor is something that is hit or miss in today’s industry. Patrons take note of the layout, furnishings, lightning, music, etc. Making the ultimate first impression is the best way to bring back repeat customers. But, there is always room for improvement.
First, let’s define what “front of house” means. Front of house is the part of your operation that is completely visible & open to the public. These are aspects of your restaurant that your patrons have direct visual & physical contact with. Contrast that with “back of house” where this includes the kitchen, prep area, or any other space where employees are only allowed.
In this article, we’ll share why you should include stainless steel items in your front of house lineup & offer up some IMC products to fit your decor. Let’s begin.
Why Stainless Steel?
Adding stainless steel equipment to your front of house decor is one of the best ways to add that touch of class & elegance to your restaurant. Why? Stainless steel just has that professional & upscale quality to it, especially when compared to plastic or wood. Stainless steel also reflects light beautifully & makes your restaurant seem bigger overall. It can also go with virtually any color scheme you have.
The overall trendy & stylish vibe is sure to make a great impression for patrons. Finally, stainless steel is nonporous, so bacteria & viruses can’t develop on it. It’s one of the most sanitary materials on the planet.
