Most cafeteria tables only seat 8 people. Biofit’s cafeteria tables seat 10, which means that instead of buying 63 tables to seat 500 people, you would only have to buy 50.
The cost savings alone is a huge reason to consider Biofit’s cafeteria tables. But even better, you can actually can fit more students in the same amount of space with these cafeteria tables. Plus, they have many other great features which makes them a good choice for any school.
Seats More Students with Biofit Cafeteria Tables
Biofit cafeteria tables are one of the largest available. They measure 6 feet in diameter and are spacious enough for 10 cafeteria trays. (Most cafeteria tables are only 5 feet in diameter, although some brands like Midwest Folding, Virco and AmTab do offer the larger size.) Biofit cafeteria tables come in 3 heights, too: 27″, 29″ and 32″, so are well-suited to any grade level.

Other brands (KI, Midwest or SICO cafeteria tables) average 40″ x 80″, and require more space. You could store 45 of these cafeteria tables in a smaller space (50 foot by 20 feet), but you only would have seating for 360 students. With Biofit cafeteria tables, an additional s4′ of storage space will give you 40 extra seats.
