Visual impact often outweighs the incremental cost of specifying round or irregular tables. Improved circulation reduces table bumps, while fewer sharp corners limit finish touch-ups over time. Guests settle into a more natural seating posture, encouraging longer stays and better experiences. The result is a layout that feels welcoming while delivering measurable operational value.
