Connectivity that pays for itself
Power and data grommets keep guests connected without trailing cords or improvised outlets at the wall. The hardware sits flush to the surface so service stays tidy and the table remains easy to clean during turns. Operators adopt this upgrade to encourage laptop lunches, longer conversations, and meeting-friendly seating that fills shoulder periods reliably. For a sense of how this integrates across species and finishes, start at the broader restaurant table tops collection and align the look before rollout.
“Keep devices alive and checks moving—connectivity is the simplest way to turn time at the table into revenue.”
Clean routing, durable components, smarter installs
We core for the grommet, ease the opening, and seal all faces before finishing so the edge resists moisture and daily sanitizer cycles. Low-gloss commercial polyurethane protects the surrounding field, and grommet finishes are selected to match the base and top hardware language for a cohesive read. To reduce onsite measuring and rework, pair this enhancement with standardized pre-drilling for table bases, allowing crews to mount quickly and replicate the layout across locations.

What longer dwell means for revenue
When guests can power up, they are more likely to extend their visit, order an extra item, or convert a quick stop into a full seating. Managers often note that connected tables fill steadily during off-peak windows, smoothing demand without new staffing layers or a remodel. The effect varies by concept and daypart, but the pattern is consistent enough to plan against—and easy to verify in your POS once you label powered seats.
- Dwell lift (benchmark): +10–25 minutes for guests who plug in versus comparable unplugged seating; calibrate to your concept and daypart.
- Attachment rate: 1 incremental beverage or dessert per 3–5 powered tables during lunch and late night is common once outlets are visible.
- Seat utilization: Connected two-tops attract solo workers, raising off-peak occupancy and smoothing revenue volatility across the week.
Pairings that amplify results
Keep the feel stable by selecting compatible table bases and standardizing bolt patterns; stability supports keyboard use and reduces guest churn from wobble complaints. If clatter competes with conversation, add discreet sound padding to lower the noise floor and encourage an extra round, especially in hard-surface rooms.
