China’s restaurant and cafe furniture production sits mainly in Guangdong — Foshan and Guangzhou for complete commercial packages, Heshan for metal wood-grain seating — with booth-seating capacity in Jiangsu. For chain rollouts and fit-out projects, the practical shortlist covers Uptop, Yumeya, CDG, Liangjiu, XYM, ADC and ShengYang: factories producing contract-grade dining chairs, tables, booths and banquet seating for export programs. This is an independent, descriptive round-up — FBM Sourcing is not affiliated with these manufacturers.
Note on scope: this list covers loose dining furniture for restaurants, cafes and hotel F&B areas. For the procurement process itself see our product guides to hotel restaurant furniture sourcing and cafe furniture sourcing from China.

Top 7 Restaurant & Cafe Furniture Manufacturers in China
1. Uptop — Foshan, Guangdong
Founded in 2011 and relocated from Zhongshan into Foshan’s export furniture belt in 2019, Uptop manufactures complete commercial packages — restaurant, cafe, bar and event furniture — and has supplied programs connected to Starbucks, Marriott and Coca-Cola across more than 98 countries.
What to know: established 2011; Foshan production with in-house exhibition building. Verdict: a strong first call for international chains that need one factory covering chairs, tables and booths to a repeatable standard.
2. Yumeya — Heshan, Guangdong
Operating since 1998, Yumeya is the best-known Chinese name in metal wood-grain seating — aluminum and steel frames finished to look like timber but built for commercial abuse — with 10,000+ project references in 80+ countries and a 10-year frame warranty on fully welded chairs.
What to know: based in Heshan City, Guangdong; stackable designs cut freight cost per seat. Verdict: the default candidate for high-traffic chain dining rooms and hotel banquet floors where wooden looks meet metal durability.
3. CDG — Guangzhou, Guangdong
A Guangzhou manufacturer founded in 2006 producing metal, vintage-industrial and outdoor-rated chairs and tables for western restaurant, coffee and chain catering formats, exported to 160+ countries with BSCI and FSC credentials.
What to know: founded 2006; over 1,000 in-house furniture designs. Verdict: well suited to design-led cafe and bar chains that want catalogue breadth plus custom color and finish runs.
4. Liangjiu — Guangzhou (Panyu), Guangdong
Founded in 2008 with its factory in Panyu District, Liangjiu is a direct-factory wholesaler of restaurant chairs, tables, bar stools, booth seating and weather-resistant outdoor furniture — a practical single source when a fit-out spans dining room, bar and terrace.
What to know: founded 2008; headquarters and production both in Panyu, Guangzhou. Verdict: a good fit for mixed indoor-outdoor scopes that would otherwise need two factories.

5. XYM (Xinyimei) — Foshan, Guangdong
Running since 2007, XYM specializes in the banquet side of hospitality F&B: stacking banquet chairs, stainless steel frames, folding tables, mobile stages and the accessories that go with them, shipping to Europe, the US, Australia and the Middle East.
What to know: started 2007; roughly 8,000 sqm plant in Foshan. Verdict: the specialist to price when the scope is banquet halls, conference dining or event spaces rather than a la carte rooms.
6. ADC — Suzhou, Jiangsu
A Jiangsu manufacturer and exporter focused on upholstered booth seating — custom shapes, contract vinyls and fabrics, waterproof options — supplying B2B buyers fitting out diners, fast-casual chains and cafes.
What to know: headquartered in Suzhou, Jiangsu; booth seating is the core product line, made to project dimensions. Verdict: worth a dedicated order when booths dominate the floor plan, since booth quality varies more between factories than chairs do.
7. ShengYang — Foshan (Shunde), Guangdong
A Shunde factory specializing in restaurant and coffee shop furniture at accessible price points, producing leisure dining sets from the Lecong manufacturing belt.
What to know: based in Shunde District, Foshan. Verdict: relevant for value-tier cafe fit-outs and secondary seating areas where budget outweighs brand pedigree.
Manufacturer vs Sourcing Agent on a Chain Rollout
A multi-unit restaurant buildout rarely stays with one factory: booths from a booth specialist, chairs from a metal-seating plant, marble or sintered-stone tops from a stone factory, plus lighting and millwork. Each manufacturer answers only for its own line — a china sourcing agent answers for the whole package. On chain projects FBM Sourcing prices each category at audited factory level, runs samples and in-production QC with our own inspection team, and consolidates mixed orders into shared containers per site opening — the model described in our guide to restaurant chain buildouts from China. The service fee is a transparent 5–8%, and booth-heavy layouts can fold in banquette seating procurement under the same QC program.
Evidence to Request Before You Shortlist
Every factory will show you a certificate wall. What matters is whether the paperwork matches the exact products on your schedule — put these items in your RFQ and treat slow or partial answers as a signal:
- Contract-seating strength and durability test reports (EN 16139 or ANSI/BIFMA) for the chair and stool families you are specifying, not residential-grade data
- Stacking-cycle and impact test data for stacking chairs destined for daily back-of-house handling
- Finish cleanability and chemical-resistance data for table tops and seating in food-service environments
- UV and weathering test reports (e.g. ISO 4892 / ASTM G154 exposure) for any terrace or outdoor dining lines
- Moisture-resistant core specification for table tops, in writing, with edge-banding detail drawings
- Photographed references for multi-unit restaurant or cafe rollouts, ideally repeat batches for the same brand
- The export packing specification and a written commitment on repeat-batch consistency — same finish codes, same hardware — for later store openings
On FBM packages none of this is taken on trust: our own team checks each document against the goods actually coming off the line and inspects every order at the factory before shipment, with photo and video records delivered to the client.

FAQ
Who are the main restaurant furniture manufacturers in China?
For export chain and fit-out projects the recurring names are Uptop (Foshan, full commercial packages), Yumeya (Heshan, metal wood-grain chairs), CDG and Liangjiu (Guangzhou, metal and mixed indoor-outdoor ranges), XYM (Foshan, banquet furniture), ADC (Suzhou, booth seating) and ShengYang (Foshan, value cafe furniture).
What should chain buyers specify for commercial restaurant chairs from China?
Contract-grade construction: fully welded metal frames or corner-blocked hardwood, commercial-cycle foam, stain-resistant contract fabric or vinyl, and stackability where storage matters. Ask for the destination market’s fire performance on upholstery (CAL 117-2013 for the US, Crib 5 for UK hospitality) and confirm frame warranty terms in writing.
Should a restaurant project buy direct from one factory or through a sourcing agent?
Single-category orders — say 500 identical chairs — can go factory-direct. Multi-category fit-outs (chairs, booths, tables, stone tops, lighting) usually run better through a sourcing agent who consolidates factories into one QC and shipping program; FBM Sourcing does this for a 5–8% service fee on audited factory prices.
