Overview
Amigos Burgers is a bold, energetic and fast-growing restaurant brand known for its vibrant interiors, high-energy customer atmosphere and distinctive street-food inspired identity. With a strong emphasis on colour, graphics and lively themes, Amigos restaurants aim to create spaces that feel youthful, modern and visually immersive. When the brand approached Innchair Solutions for a new seating installation, the goal was clear: to create furniture that reflects the brand’s personality while maintaining practicality, comfort and durability for a high-traffic quick-service restaurant (QSR).
Innchair Solutions was commissioned to design and install custom banquette seating, fixed pedestal bar stools, and metal café chairs across the dining area. The challenge was balancing the energetic colour palette with robust furniture that matched the restaurant’s fast-paced operational requirements. This case study outlines the full journey—from analysis to final delivery.
1. Initial Site Analysis
Before any manufacturing or installation began, our team conducted a thorough analysis of the location to understand both the spatial layout and the visual identity of Amigos Burgers.
A. Brand Aesthetic & Environment
Amigos Burgers features:
- Strong, contrasting colours like yellow, orange, black, and blue
- Graphic wall art with humorous, youthful messaging
- Industrial elements such as exposed ceiling ducts and metal mesh frames
- Bright lighting and open-plan seating
- A bold and vibrant restaurant identity
The furniture needed to complement this high-energy atmosphere while remaining durable enough to withstand daily restaurant use.
B. Layout & Space Utilisation
We carefully evaluated:
- Existing room dimensions
- Customer flow and queuing patterns
- Back-to-back spacing of booths
- Clearance space for moving chairs and passing customers
- Areas that require fast turnover seating
QSR environments require furniture that supports both quick dining and longer visits, so comfort could not be compromised. We designed a seating plan that maximised occupancy without overcrowding the space.
C. Durability & Maintenance Requirements
Considering Amigos’ customer volume and fast-paced service model, we focused on furniture materials that were:
- Hard-wearing
- Quick and easy to clean
- Resistant to food spills, oils and everyday wear
- Stable and commercial-grade
This became the foundation for selecting vinyl upholstery, powder-coated metal frames and laminate table surfaces.
2. Understanding Client Requirements
During our consultation, the Amigos Burgers team shared three primary requirements:
1. A Vibrant Seating Environment
The restaurant has a recognisable branding style—playful, bright and full of attitude. The client requested furniture that:
- Enhances the yellow, orange and grey brand colours
- Works cohesively with their illustrated wall graphics
- Adds structure without diluting the visual impact
2. High-Durability Furniture
As a popular burger chain with high footfall, the client needed:
- Sturdy seating for constant movement
- Easy-to-maintain upholstery
- Scratch-resistant frames
- Fixed stools that prevent displacement
Reliability and easy cleaning were critical priorities.
3. A Mix of Booths, Stools & Freestanding Chairs
The customer demographic varies from individuals to families to groups. The layout needed a balanced mix of:
- Banquette seating for family and group dining
- Pedestal bar stools for quick bites or counter dining
- Metal café chairs for flexible seating arrangements
This mix would allow Amigos to serve more customers efficiently during peak hours.
3. Our Approach & Design Strategy
Innchair Solutions developed a design approach that balanced branding, comfort and operational practicality.
A. Banquette Seating (Booth Seating)
The booth seating was designed as a major visual anchor in the restaurant. Based on the client’s brand colours, we produced booths with:
- Bold yellow base frames to align with the graphic style
- Grey upholstered backrests and seat pads for contrast
- High backs for privacy and acoustics
- Durable vinyl upholstery for easy cleaning
- Robust wooden bodies for long life
We ensured that each booth had optimal depth and height for ergonomic dining comfort. The arrangement of booth units also supported a clean and structured seating layout along the wall.
B. Fixed Pedestal Bar Stools
In the central dining aisle, we introduced fixed pedestal bar stools. These stools were chosen for several reasons:
- They remain in place even during busy service
- They provide functional seating without cluttering the space
- Their round shape complements the restaurant’s energetic design theme
- The grey upholstered seats add comfort and match the banquette colour scheme
The base was powder-coated in a bright orange/red finish to align with Amigos’ brand identity and inject additional vibrancy into the seating zone.
C. Metal Café Chairs
For flexible seating near the long tables, we installed stackable metal café chairs, known for their durability and modern appearance. These chairs offer:
- Strong metal frames with long-lasting powder coating
- Bright orange colouring that matches the interior branding
- Light weight for easy movement
- Comfortable ergonomics suitable for QSR dining
These chairs bring playfulness to the dining layout while maintaining a professional commercial finish.
4. Execution & Installation
Our installation process was organised into clear stages to minimise disruption and ensure accuracy.
A. Measurement & Planning
We took precise on-site measurements to ensure:
- Perfect table-to-seat alignment
- Proper spacing for accessibility
- Appropriate walkway widths
- Balanced visual symmetry across all furniture zones
B. Manufacturing
All furniture was manufactured in our workshop using commercial-grade materials:
- High-density foams
- Vinyl upholstery
- Powder-coated steel frames
- Solid timber carcasses for booths
- Heavy-duty pedestal bases
Each component underwent rigorous quality inspection before delivery.
C. On-Site Installation
During installation, our team:
- Assembled and anchored the fixed pedestal stools
- Aligned the booths against the walls with millimetre precision
- Placed café chairs and tables according to the layout plan
- Ensured structural stability and uniformity across all seating
We coordinated installation timings with the client to ensure minimal disruption to restaurant operations.
5. Final Results
