Hospitality furniture · Australia & New Zealand
Cafe chairs, banquettes, pub settles and beer garden seating, sized in millimetres for your floor plan, made to order and shipped direct to your nearest port.
Venue Fitout (a line by EASEN Commercial Furniture) makes hospitality furniture for cafes, pubs, restaurants and beer gardens in Australia and New Zealand: bentwood and upholstered dining chairs, banquettes and settles, and outdoor seating for courtyards and footpaths. Everything is made to order in EASEN's own production base in Foshan, China, approved on drawings first and shipped by container direct to your port.
Bentwood cafe chairs are steam-bent solid timber chairs, light, stackable in some styles and endlessly repairable, and they remain the default seat for Australian and New Zealand cafes and bistros.

Upholstered dining chairs combine a timber or metal frame with a padded seat in commercial vinyl or fabric, giving restaurants and pub dining rooms more comfort for longer sittings.

Banquettes are fixed or freestanding upholstered benches along a wall; paired with tables and loose chairs, they seat more people per square metre than chairs alone and anchor the look of a room.

Outdoor hospitality furniture for Australian and New Zealand beer gardens, courtyards and footpaths uses aluminium frames, synthetic weaves and weather-resistant tops so it survives UV, rain and coastal air.

Most venues buy chairs from one importer, banquettes from a local joiner and beer garden furniture from a third. We make all three, drawn to one floor plan and finished to one colour scheme, so the dining room, the courtyard and the footpath look like the same venue and arrive in the same container.
Australia's UV levels and coastal air destroy furniture made for milder climates. Outdoor pieces get aluminium frames, solution-dyed weaves and stainless fixings; coastal venues can step up to marine-grade coatings and 316 hardware. Indoors, we specify wipeable, hard-wearing finishes for venues that never really close.
Buying factory-direct saves the importer margin, but only if the paperwork and packing are right. We pack to Australian and New Zealand biosecurity expectations, supply packing lists and declarations your broker needs, and load mixed containers so a whole fitout ships together.

Send your plan or fitout drawings with seat targets, the look you want and timing. Tell us which areas are indoor, covered outdoor and fully exposed, and how far the venue is from the coast.
We propose chairs, banquettes, tables and outdoor pieces, check seat counts and aisles against your plan, and specify timbers, frames, fabrics and finishes. You receive a written spec and quote in metric.
Dimensioned shop drawings for every built piece, especially banquettes cut to your walls. Pre-production samples or finish and fabric swatches are sent for approval before anything is made.
Frames are made, finished and upholstered in our Foshan base. We check against the approved drawing, photograph finished pieces and confirm packing quantities before loading.
We load your container, issue the commercial invoice, packing list and packing declaration details your customs broker needs, and ship FOB, CIF or DDP. Assembly guides are supplied for anything flat-packed.
How to furnish a pub or brewery beer garden in Australia and NZ: picnic settings vs bistro sets vs leaners, heights in mm, capacity, materials, shade and licensing checks.
Plan cafe seating in Australia and NZ: square metres per seat, banquette vs chairs, table sizes in mm, aisle widths, accessibility and how seat numbers affect approvals.
How to specify cafe, pub and beer garden furniture that survives Australian UV, salt air, humidity and heat: frames, coatings, fixings, fabrics and timber compared.
Yes. Venue Fitout supplies cafes, pubs, restaurants and fitout companies across Australia and New Zealand. We are not a local warehouse: furniture is made to order in EASEN's own production base in Foshan, China, and shipped by sea to your nearest port, such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Fremantle, Adelaide or Auckland.
Production is typically 30-45 days for standard designs and 45-60 days for custom work after drawings and samples are approved. Add sea freight from southern China, roughly two to four weeks to most Australian and NZ ports depending on the route, plus customs and biosecurity clearance. Your quote confirms the timeline.
Yes. Send measured wall lengths and any obstacles such as windows, power points or columns. We draw the banquette in millimetres, you approve it, and we build it in sections sized to pass through your doors and fit the space.
Minimums are low for contract orders and confirmed per design, so a single cafe can order directly. Most clients ship a full or shared container mixing chairs, banquettes, tables and outdoor pieces, which keeps freight per item reasonable. Smaller orders can travel as LCL (shared container) freight; we will tell you in the quote which option is more economical for your volume.
Not automatically. Australia's biosecurity rules focus on timber packaging, container cleanliness and certain timber, cane and bamboo goods. Solid timber packaging must be ISPM 15 compliant or treated, and full container loads need a packing declaration that includes a container cleanliness statement. Requirements change, so your customs broker should check the Department of Agriculture's BICON system for your goods before shipment.
Yes, with the right specification. We use aluminium frames that do not rust, solution-dyed weaves and stainless fixings, and recommend marine-grade coatings and 316 stainless hardware for venues near breaking surf. Even then, a regular fresh-water rinse is part of looking after outdoor furniture by the sea.
