Signature booths are the seats your reservations team gets asked for by name. They are usually fewer in number and placed where they can be seen: in a window bay, at the end of a sightline, in the corner of a raised dais.
Signature formats
| Format | Seats | Standard size | Why it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horseshoe booth R120 | 5–6 | 120 cm inner radius, seat 46 cm, back 95–107 cm | Everyone faces the table and the room |
| Channel booth with brass foot rail | 3–4 per side | 180 cm (in 30 cm steps), back 107 cm | Brass rail protects the base and gives a foot rest |
| Grand channel high back | 3–4 per side | Back up to 150 cm | Acoustic and visual privacy without walls |
| Screened booth | 3–4 per side | Upholstered back plus timber or glass screen above | Zones a large room into intimate bays |
Planning a horseshoe
A horseshoe booth needs a round or oval table centred precisely in its curve, and enough clearance at the open mouth for staff to serve without reaching. We draw the booth, table and aisle together and supply a centre point for the installer. Curved frames are made on a jig so that channels radiate evenly and the walnut cap follows the curve without visible joints.
Screened and high-back booths should be checked against sightlines from the entrance and the pass; the layout guide in our journal covers back heights and sightlines, and every project drawing we issue shows them in elevation.
