When decorating tables for daily service in your restaurant, be sure to leave enough room for patrons to sit and eat comfortably. After the table is set with dishes and silverware, if there's enough room, decorative items can be placed. Keep it simple and fresh and remember to pay attention to details. Decorations on tables should add to the ambience and the experience, not be too bulky or distracting. Be sure that guests can see each other across the table and pass food items if necessary. Does this Spark an idea?

If you're using a tablecloth, be sure that it's clean and wrinkle-free. Spread it on the table neatly. Set places at the table with a plate, fork, knife and spoon. Place the fork on the left side of the plate and the knife and spoon on the right. Place a napkin at each place setting, on the plate, next to it, or under or around the silverware. Set a water glass in the upper right corner of each plate. If you also want to provide other dishes like bowls and saucers, place them next to the glass in the upper right area of each setting.
2Provide each table with necessities such as salt and pepper shakers and condiments. Salt and pepper shakers can be creative or artistic, and condiments can be placed in decorative dishes or baskets. Be sure that all condiment containers and salt and pepper shakers are clean and full.
3Place decorative items on the table. Usually, this includes a vase of flowers and a candle, but it could also be any other centerpiece that you want to use. Be sure that flowers in vases are fresh and have clean water at all times. Replace the flowers daily or use silk flowers. Light the candles at night before dinner service and always be sure that they're in appropriate holders to catch any wax and keep patrons safe. Decorating each table includes placing these items uniformly on each table. This means using the same placement for every table in the restaurant, even if items vary, such as types of flowers or colors of candles.
