Fast Casual and Quick-Serve Restaurant Furniture

Fast casual asks more of a chair than fine dining does. No host, no reservations, somebody in every seat from open to close, and a general manager who cleans it with whatever is under the counter. It also asks more of the supplier: the furniture in store #40 has to be identical to store #1, and it has to land the week the drywall is finished.

We have been building to that standard for over a decade. Blaze Pizza alone accounts for more than 550 store projects with Designform since 2013.

Chairs built for constant turnover

Welded steel and hardwood frames — stackable where you need to clear the floor, bolt-down where you do not want chairs moving. Replaceable seats, so a damaged chair is a part, not a new chair.

Counter and communal-table stools

Counter and bar height for the window rail and the communal table, backless where aisles are tight, all on the same frame family as the chairs.

Counter StoolsStools

Cast-iron bases and wipe-clean tops

Bolt-down and free-standing cast-iron bases from 22″ to 30″, plus laminate, solid wood and Compact Laminate tops that survive a sanitizer bucket. Standard sizes, stocked and re-orderable years later.

Patio and drive-thru seating

All-weather aluminum and poly for the patio, in the same colors as the interior.

Why fast casual and QSR brands choose Designform

  • Bolt-down options and cast-iron bases for high-traffic and food-court formats
  • We work with your construction manager, purchasing firm or designer, in whatever order the rollout runs

Frequently asked questions

Can you hold our spec for a multi-year rollout?

Yes. We keep the frame, finish and fabric on file and build to it for repeat stores — many of our chain programs have run five to ten years.

Do you offer bolt-down seating?

Yes. Bolt-down chairs, stools and cast-iron bases are available across much of the line — the standard in food courts and high-traffic stores.

How fast can you ship for a store opening?

Our Quick Ship items that are pre-finished, assembled and available only as shown can ship in as soon as 2–3 days of order and payment. Quick Ship items with a choice of stain or upholstery options usually take 2–6 weeks, depending on the product; if you have a rush project, let us know and we’ll see what we can do. Custom orders typically take 14–20 weeks, and many can be rushed to 8–10 weeks. Your rep can confirm current lead times for the specific frames in your spec.

Can you handle a large multi-store rollout?

Yes. We’ve furnished nearly 300 Blaze Pizza locations, and we’ve supplied The Habit Burger Grill and Mendocino Farms for 5–10 years.

How is your furniture built?

For strength and long-term durability. Most of our wood chairs and stools use mortise-and-tenon joinery with very few bolted connections, and our metal frames are fully welded instead of bolted together. Every seating piece is assembled at our factory, so it’s built correctly before it ships.

Do you have a minimum order?

Our minimum order is typically 4 pieces. If you need fewer, ask your Designform rep and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.

Can I get samples?

Yes. We can send finish swatches so you can see wood stains, metal finishes and upholstery in person, and most chairs and stools are available through our Sample Loan Program for a sit test. Projects of 10 or more pieces receive up to two complimentary seating samples, with shipping covered both ways; for smaller projects, shipping and any sample charges are the client’s responsibility. Samples are a 60-day loan with a credit card authorization on file, and loan samples may show light cosmetic wear from previous use. Contact your Designform rep to request samples.

Can I use my own fabric?

Yes. Most upholstered products accept COM (customer’s own material) or COL (customer’s own leather). We’ll tell you exactly how much yardage or square footage each item needs, and those quantities are also listed on your proposal. We’ll need a swatch of your COM to confirm it can be used on the products you’ve specified. If you send us the COM spec, we can check our records, and if it’s a material we’ve used before, we may be able to approve it without a swatch.

What’s your warranty?

All Designform products are commercially rated. Finishes and upholstery are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for 1 year from the shipment date, and the structural integrity of the frame is covered for 3 years. Coverage assumes normal commercial use and regular maintenance, including keeping bolts and hardware tight. If a product is defective, send written notice and photos within 30 days of noticing the issue and we’ll repair or replace it. See full warranty terms.

Do you ship to Canada?

Yes. We deliver to projects worldwide, including throughout Canada. Quick Ship items are available to Canadian customers too, though crossing the border may add a few days to transit time.

How do I get pricing?

Contact your local Designform sales rep, or a project manager or project administrator in our office, for quotes, samples and lead times. We sell wholesale for commercial projects, to businesses, designers, purchasing firms and anyone furnishing a commercial space, but not for residential or personal use.
