FAQ

For a communal four-top with one center pot, 32 x 48 in (80 x 120 cm) at 29-30 in (74-76 cm) high is the common starting point. Six guests need about 32 x 63 in (80 x 160 cm). Individual-pot seating needs about 24 in (61 cm) of width per guest and 20-24 in (50-60 cm) of depth. We confirm the final size against your burner's cutout and your floor plan on the shop drawing.

We build the tables around the burner you choose. Many owners buy induction units from a restaurant equipment supplier so the warranty and the UL or ETL listing sit with a local distributor. Send us the model's installation sheet and we draw the cutout, ventilation and access door to it. If you prefer, we can discuss sourcing, but checking the listing for your market is your responsibility.

Induction is the default for new hot pot restaurants in North America: no open flame, no gas piping to each table, cooler air and easy temperature control. Gas or butane burners bring permit, ventilation and fire-code questions, and many fire officials restrict portable butane canisters indoors. Check with your local fire marshal before you plan anything other than electric.

Sintered stone is our default: it takes heat, does not stain from broth or chili oil and has near-zero porosity. Compact laminate is a good lighter option. Quartz works but should be kept away from direct high heat. We avoid solid wood and veneer in the heat zone; they stay on frames and edges.

The cord runs inside the table base to a grommet at floor level or to a cable channel along the booth. Most fit-outs use floor boxes under each table or outlets behind the booth backs. Your licensed electrician decides the circuit layout, protection and outlet positions; we position the cable exit on the drawing to match.

Yes. Tell us the grill insert and the exhaust system (overhead telescoping hood, downdraft or another approach). We build the cutout, trim ring and base to suit, and adjust booth heights so they do not clash with hoods. The exhaust design itself belongs to your mechanical engineer and local code official.

That is what they are designed for. We use commercial vinyl or commercial leather, horizontal seams that shed liquid, rounded seat fronts, recessed toe space for mops and closed seat boxes. Fabric backs are possible, but for hot pot we recommend a stain-resistant finish or a wipeable cover.

We specify fire-retardant foams and contract-grade covers to the destination market's rules on request, for example CAL TB 117-2013, the California smolder standard for upholstered furniture. Test reports for specific items are supplied where available. Your local fire code may ask for more in assembly occupancies, so check with your fire official.

Typically 30-45 days for standard designs and 45-60 days for custom work after drawing and sample approval, plus sea transit to your port. The exact timeline is confirmed in each quote, and large or highly custom orders are scheduled with you before deposit.

Yes. A pre-production sample is available on request, and for hot pot tables we suggest sampling one table with your burner fitted. It lets you check the cutout, the heat around the pot, the cable path and how the top cleans, before the full run is made.

Minimums are low for contract orders and confirmed per design. Mixed-SKU containers are welcome, so tables, booths, chairs and carts for one restaurant can ship together in a single load. If you are opening a single restaurant, a full order of tables, booths and carts is a normal project size for us.

At EASEN's own production base in Lecong, Shunde District, Foshan, China, one of the largest furniture manufacturing and trading hubs in the world. We ship factory-direct; there is no local warehouse in the US, Canada or Australia. Simmer Table is a line of EASEN Commercial Furniture.

Everything ships in export packing, labeled to your floor plan. Tables arrive with tops crated and bases ready to fix; booths arrive in sections. Your contractor installs, and your licensed electrician connects any burners. We provide drawings and fixing details for both.

Yes. Upholstery color, stitching, wood stain, metal finish and top pattern are chosen per project, and you can supply your own fabric or leather (COM/COL). We send finish samples for approval with the shop drawings. For chains, we keep each approved specification on file so later locations match the first one.
