Restaurant Floor Mat Placement (Walk-through)

Commercial Floor Mats for Restaurants (Front of House)

Entrance - Start with an outside entrance scraper mat for your restaurant entrance, such as the Flex Tip  or SuperScrape. which can also be customized as a restaurant logo mat such as a SuperScrape Impressions .

A Waterhog would also serve as an exterior scraper restaurant mat, but will will also begin wiping upon entering. The Waterhog commercial entrance floor mat can also have your restaurant logo by going with the Waterhog Logo Inlay .

If you use a good scraper floor mat as recommended, you can then place a Waterhog product inside the restaurant entrance for the wiping.

Refer to our three-mat entrance recommendation for restaurants for more details.

Finally, guide the guests where to go when they step onto your restaurant mat so they approach the greeting desk. Put a Waterhog or a dedicated wiper mat like the Impressionist or Colorstar.

Guest Greeting  - The host or hostess will be standing for long periods of time and needs to be able to smile at the guests as they enter. Help them with a Cushion Max or another anti-fatigue floor mat. Your greeter will thank you.

Drink Fountains - We'd like to think our guests are spit-spot, but hey, things happen, drinks splatter and spill. A Waterhog floor mat or a Tri Grip is a good selection. Remember that logo mats can be more than a logo--this might be fun place to have a "quench your thirst" message to add to your restaurant branding with a Classic Impressions or Waterhog Logo Inlay.

Bar - If there's a place where comfort counts, it's here. Your bartender will be running around and serving guests at high-pace and an anti-fatigue mat rated for wet areas will make that a lot more comfortable. Get them the Complete Comfort or the Comfort Flow anti-fatigue mat with a grit to maximize their comfort and traction.

Register - Guest experience is a big deal and finishing with a bang is key. You definitely want a floor mat for the satisfied diner, and using a logo mat like the Classic Impressions will help remind them of your brand before they leave. Also consider a message such as "Thanks for dining" or "Come back soon" to make them feel appreciated and welcome to return.

Again, service with a smile is invaluable, and when you're taking someone's payment, the appreciation and cheerfulness needs to show. Consider a Hog Heaven or other anti-fatigue floor mat to get the job done.

Restrooms - Moisture from the outside is most of the cause of wet floors in a restaurant, but it's not the only cause. Water splashed from sinks in the bathroom contribute to the hazard. Placing a Waterhog. Tri-Grip. or other interior wiper mat takes care of that for you. Also consider a logo for thorough branding.

Commercial Floor Mats for Restaurants (Back of House)

Transition - Moving between the back of the house and the front of the house can be a tight spot. Wide doors make it easier, but as staff pass each other carrying things to provide the fastest service possible usually means a few splashes. A Traction Hog II will provide mitigate the slip hazard in that tight situation.

Ice Machine - Adding to the danger of a wet floor, ice chunks are not something you want slipping around underfoot. As you might have guessed, another Traction Hog II anti-slip commercial floor mat will be a good choice.

Pick Up Counter - The hotspot for getting the food from the kitchen to the customer, the pick up counter will have quite a bit of action. An anti-fatigue mat like the Comfort Flow will ensure that the work is done safely and comfortably.

Cooking Line, Prep Line, Dishwashing - We're going to combine these areas, as once you get into the high-traffic areas in the kitchen, the Comfort Flow linked above is going to be the go-to mat.

Walk-in Cooler - While it may be tucked away at the back of the kitchen, the cooler is critical to operations and needs a good mat to reduce hazard to staff as well as vendors bringing in product. For maximum slip-resistance, another Traction Hog II is recommended.

Back Exit - Finally, to keep dirt and additional moisture from entering from the back, particularly where deliveries and staff are always bustling, a SuperScrape  entrance floor mat keeps the custodial work to a minimum.
