Repaired Overnight. Open for Lunch.
Restaurant furniture services NYC — booth, banquette, dining chair and bar stool repair, restoration and reupholstery. Most of it happens in the room, after last service.
Six pieces do nearly all of the wearing.
Six kinds of seat, each failing its own way. Which one you have decides what it needs, whether it can be worked in place, and which restaurant furniture services NYC dining rooms actually need.
01
Fixed booths
Bolted down, back to backThe seat front edge goes first — every guest slides across it to get in.
Worked in place
02
Wall banquette runs
One continuous bench, built inFails at the top roll and at the seams between bays. Recovered bay by bay, in position.

03
Dining chairs
Loose, so they can travelFront corners wear through first, and the frame loosens before the cover fails.

04
Bar stools
The highest-turnover seat you ownFoam flattens before the cover looks tired. A hard stool is a foam job, not upholstery.

Frames underneath
Chair, stool and booth carcassA flexing frame pulls a new cover open at the seams, so frames get fixed first.

Host bench & private dining
Low use, high visibilityBarely sat on, seen by everyone. Usually restoration, not reupholstery.
Worked in placeSix services, and what each one is genuinely for.
Our restaurant furniture services NYC operators book split six ways. Most rooms need two of them at once — a repair now, a reupholstery run booked for the quiet month.
01
Restaurant Furniture Repair
The everyday fix. A split seam, a burn, a torn seat, a chair that rocks.
Repair
02
Restaurant Furniture Restoration
Color and finish brought back on sound material. The room reads new without replacing a panel.
Restoration
03
Restaurant Furniture Reupholstery
New material over the frames you already own, once the cover has failed as a material.
Reupholstery
04
Booth & Banquette Repair
Seat edges, top rolls, open seams and flat foam on seating that cannot leave the room.
Repair
05
Booth & Banquette Reupholstery
Recovered in position, bay by bay, overnight. Foam replaced where it has gone, new material on the same carcass.
Reupholstery
06
Chair & Seating Reupholstery
Dining chairs and bar stools recovered in batches, frames tightened, color matched to the booths that stayed.
Reupholstery
Restaurants do not close for furniture. So we schedule around service.
Every one of our restaurant furniture services NYC jobs is planned backwards from the first cover of the next service.
Fixed seating, overnight
Booths and banquettes are stripped, repaired or recovered and reset between close and open. See overnight service.
One section at a time
One bay or booth row comes out of service while the rest of the room keeps trading.
Loose seating, in batches
Chairs and stools leave in counts small enough that your covers are never short.
Four materials cover almost every dining room in the city.
Which one you have decides what can be repaired, what has to be recovered, and how long it lasts under a full service. It is the first thing we identify on any restaurant furniture services NYC walkthrough.
Commercial Vinyl
Most booths in the city. Heavy backing, wipeable, repaired by panel rather than refinished.
Explore commercial vinyl
Pigmented Leather
The upscale booth. Color sits on top of the hide, so a worn top roll is recolored in place.

Performance Fabric
Backs and chair seats, away from the wear line. Cleanable, but unforgiving of set-in grease.

Faux Leather
Fitted out to a budget. No hide underneath, so once the skin flakes it goes straight to reupholstery.
Explore faux leatherMost premature vinyl failure in restaurants is chemical, not mechanical — alcohol and bleach wipes strip the surface, and the crazing that follows is not repairable. See commercial vinyl care. Replacement hide and contract vinyl come from Global Leathers and District Leather Supply, so a recovered booth matches the rest of the run.
Three ways this gets bought, depending on what you are solving.
A room, planned
The full dining room in one scheduled block, usually staged across quiet weeks so nothing shuts. Bulk projects.
Something broke tonight
One seat out of action with a full book. Safe and presentable for service, fixed properly after. Emergency repairs.
Nothing should get this far
A monthly walk of the room that catches seams and edges while they are still repairs. Maintenance.
We run restaurant furniture services NYC-wide, across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island and New Jersey. Bars, hotels and clubs are handled from the same bench — see the full industries directory.
Restaurant furniture questions operators ask first.
Restaurant furniture services NYC cover everything guests sit on and eat at: fixed booths, built-in banquette runs, dining chairs, bar stools, host benches and private dining seating, plus the frames underneath all of them.
That breaks into three kinds of work. Repair fixes damage with an edge — a seam, a tear, a burn, a loose joint. Restoration brings color back on material that is still sound. Reupholstery puts new material over frames you own. Most rooms need all three at once, on different pieces.
No. The restaurant furniture services NYC operators book from us run overnight. Fixed booths and banquettes are worked in position after last service and reset before the room opens, so the only thing that changes overnight is the state of the seating.
Where a restaurant furniture services NYC job is genuinely too big for one night, it is staged — one bay or one booth row is taken out of service while the rest of the room keeps trading. You lose a few covers rather than a service.
Yes. It is the part of restaurant furniture services NYC operators most often assume is impossible. Fixed booths and wall-run banquettes are stripped, re-foamed where needed and recovered on the carcass where they stand — they are built into the room and are not meant to come out of it.
Loose seating is the opposite case. Chairs and stools are easier to do properly on a bench, so those rotate out in batches small enough that your cover count never drops.
That is the usual brief, and the reason material and color are selected against the actual seating rather than from a swatch book. A sample is matched to the piece that is staying, in your room, under your lights.
Where a discontinued material cannot be sourced, the options are re-covering a whole visual group so the difference reads as intentional, or matching the closest available and toning the neighbors. See custom color matching.
Foam, almost always — and it is the cheapest of the restaurant furniture services NYC rooms actually need. Seat foam compresses under continuous turnover and stops recovering, which guests read as an uncomfortable room long before anything looks worn.
Foam is replaced without recovering, provided the cover comes off and goes back on intact. On bar stools this is routine.
No. A COI naming the building and the managing agent is issued before any restaurant furniture services NYC crew arrives, which is normal for any work in a leased dining room and for most after-hours building access. Details are on the COI and insurance page.
Send the worst booth in the room.
Restaurant furniture services NYC start with one photograph, not a floor plan. Send one seat, shot properly. That tells us whether it is repair, restoration or reupholstery, and whether the rest of the room is going the same way.
