Cafe plans
Save chairs, stools and tables with their options and counts. Copy the plan for a second shop or a quick refresh.
Pick a place to start
Walk your cafe plan through to the order.
Chairs and stools first
Open chairs for tables, bar stools for the counter or window ledge. Read the configured price and listed dimensions before you order a dozen of one.
Look through the chairs →Count the top and the base
A table can be one finished piece, or a top and a base listed separately. Read what each listing includes, and whether the two parts go together, before you compare prices.
Browse whole tables →Watch the total as you go
Save each configured piece into a named zone of your cafe plan, change the counts as you go, and keep your own allowance apart from the furniture total.
