Deli Display Ideas - Signage, Fixtures & Furniture

Delis are a staple in every community, from small towns to sprawling cities. Part of what makes delicatessens so popular is that they provide low-cost, healthy food options and are a great alternative to fast food. Rather than a greasy burger, deli customers can count on delicious sandwiches made on heroes or bulky rolls with a variety of meats, vegetables, and fresh produce. Some locations even serve specialty desserts and other treats, like baked goods. No matter what food items you specialize in, you can rest assured that Displays2go has all the deli display supplies you need. Shop price tags, bakery racks, display cases, signs, and even table and chair sets. With everything from signage to furniture, you're sure to find the merchandising tools you need for your delicatessen.

Although delis have been around for a long time, many owners are updating their decor to stay up with the times. Modern bar stools and pub table sets are a common choice for seating instead of typical deli furniture, like traditional tables. These high-top tables are every bit as functional as they are stylish. Our wide range of pub sets is great for delis, especially when floor space is limited. Many deli owners maximize their seating by lining bar stools along the front window or at a service counter. Some of the deli stools even feature soft cushions that allow guests to settle in and get comfortable while they grab a sandwich or salad. There are lots of ways to make your seating area stylish and comfortable while maximizing the amount of customers you can handle at a given time.

Deli seating is only one element of your establishment's experience. Signage, including both indoor and outdoor options, can really make a difference when it comes to grabbing the attention of potential customers. Sidewalk signs, sometimes called sandwich boards, provide the perfect solution for advertising lunch deals, specialty sandwiches, and seasonal options. Our deli sidewalk signs feature traditional frames that hold printed posters, write-on boards for customized messages, and changeable letter sets. The write-on boards and letter boards are ideal for delis because the message can be changed quickly and easily while allowing for full customization. Outdoor deli banners and flags are similar to sandwich boards and are just as effective at drawing new customers. Indoor delicatessen signs are also available in this large online collection. Shop LED window displays that let customers know about your hours and other availability with messages like "OPEN" or "ATM Inside". Order a full set of table tents and flip menu holders to outfit every table with drink cards, specials, and other promotions. Traditional menu holders and bill presenters are also available for full sized menus and checks. If you have a service counter, consider mounting a large menu board so that customers can see all the meat and cold cut selections while they wait in line. Our deli menu boards range from elaborate tri-panel displays with illumination to simple framed chalkboards that mount on the wall. Pick the delicatessen menu board that best suits your decor and sliced meat selections. With so many options, it's hard not to find the perfect delicatessen sign for your menu.

Some delis are so busy that their lines run out the door. In these situations, it's important to implement some crowd control. Displays2go carries both traditional stanchions as well as café barriers. Typical crowd control stanchions feature either a retractable belt or an elegant post & rope design. Choosing the right model depends on how upscale or casual your dining atmosphere is. Cafe barriers serve the same purpose as the other stanchions but many of these barricades feature fillable bases and heavy-duty banners that are engineered for outdoor use. Users can set up cafe barriers to create outdoor seating areas in the warmer months. The printable panels allow deli owners to advertising their brand name in a subtle yet highly professional way. If you're planning to offer outdoor seating, these accessories will help to define the space between the sidewalk and dining area, giving your guests an exclusive, defined area in which to enjoy their meal.

Although delis are largely a self-service style establishment, you'll want to add that special touch that tells customers they are not forgotten even after they have been served and seated. Be sure to stock each table with a condiment organizer. Napkins are crucial especially when customers order the "house" sandwich with its monster portions and sloppy ingredients! Straw dispensers, utensil organizers, and even salt & pepper shakers are just a few of the small touches you can add your deli tables. You may also consider additional courtesies such as providing a coat rack for guests to hang their wet jackets on rainy days. Deli display cases are great for bread, pastries, and other baked snacks that customers may be interested in before, during, and after their meals. Sometimes that bread was just so good that you have to get some to go! Finally, clean tablecloths can make or break a guest’s experience. Displays2go offers a huge deli tablecloth selection in many styles and sizes. We also stock folding tables and chairs, for those nights when the crowd is just a little larger than expected. Simply toss a deli tablecloth over the folding table to create extra seating! The result will be just as nice as the highboy table & deli stool set your guests are used to being seated at!

Storage is a less glamorous but equally important facet to your business. An organized atmosphere will not only keep guests feeling at ease but it will also keep your staff from falling behind. Large bakery bins and bread racks in the kitchen are a great way to keep all the different kinds of breads and loaves organized. Gravity dispensers are especially useful for storing bulk grains and ingredients. These bulk bins for deli supplies are perfect for any location that bakes their own breads. Clear bakery bins come in kinds of compact, countertop designs. Many feature rear doors and removable trays for quicker and easier access. Wire and wooden display racks make excellent deli shelving or decorative furniture. With the right organizational tools, it will be easy for kitchen staff to streamline service and keep customers moving. Wooden crates and fixtures make great deli shelving and are cost effective. Small countertop shelves or wicker baskets can help to keep your counters clear while providing the perfect place to sell impulse items like cookies, chips, and baked goods. Even plastic dunnage racks are available so deli attendants can keep walk-in coolers stocked with extra drinks. Because the surplus drinks are already in the cooler, customers won't have to wait long for ice cold drinks when staff restocks.

Modernizing the look of your delicatessen is one way to keep up with today's trends, but upgrading your payment system is another. Rather than traditional cash registers and checkout stands, many deli owners are looking for faster, more customer-friendly ways to pay. Tablets, especially the iPad from Apple, are commonly outfitted with payment apps that let restaurateurs cut down on bulky hardware and simplify the payment process. If you are looking to add a tablet-computer based payment system, then be sure to take a look at our huge assortment of iPad enclosures. We offer locking and non-locking options that feature floor-standing, wall-mounted, or tabletop designs. The options are endless, so start enhancing your delicatessen with the strategies and tools from Displays2go that keep customers happy, well-fed, and coming back!
