Numbers & Stands

Numbers & Stands for Hospitality

Numbers and stands keep tables organised during service. Staff pick them up, move them, and reset them many times during a shift, so weight and balance matter from the first setup through to the last clear-down. A stand that sits flat helps avoid minor delays when tables turn, and staff move quickly.

You tend to notice problems when a room fills and guest traffic increases. Light stands tip if a guest brushes past, while heavier bases stay put, and after a few busy services, most teams work out which option causes fewer hold-ups because staff stop adjusting tables far less often than they expect to during a busy service.

Most venues settle on the right style after some time. Compact stands suit ultra-clean layouts, while wider bases work well where service changes often. When the fit feels right, these pieces stay in place and staff move on without thinking about them.
