Why Restaurant Mats Matter

Restaurant mats play a crucial role in maintaining a safe, clean and professional environment across every area of your establishment.

From welcoming entrance spaces to busy bar and kitchen zones, the right mats help reduce slips, support staff comfort and protect flooring. Whether enhancing your restaurant’s first impression or improving safety behind the scenes, these mats contribute to a more efficient and enjoyable experience for both customers and staff.

Key Advantages of Restaurant Mats

Investing in high-quality restaurant mats brings a range of important benefits:

  • Enhanced Safety: Non-slip backings and textured surfaces help reduce slip risks in entrances, bars and kitchens.
  • Professional Appearance: Branded logo mats and premium entrance mats create a smart and welcoming first impression.
  • Durable Construction: Rubber mats with drainage holes are ideal for wet, demanding environments behind the bar or in the kitchen.
  • Comfort for Staff: Cushioned rubber mats ease fatigue for employees working long shifts on hard floors.
  • Hygiene and Cleanliness: Mats help contain spills, moisture and dirt to keep restaurant areas clean and well maintained.

How to Choose the Right Restaurant Mat

Choosing the best mat depends on where it will be used within the restaurant. Consider the following:

  • Entrance Areas: Select high-quality absorbent mats with non-slip backings or custom-branded logo mats to enhance your restaurant’s appearance.
  • Bar Areas: Choose rubber mats with drainage holes to allow liquids to pass through, keeping staff on a clean and stable surface.
  • Kitchens: Opt for heavy-duty rubber mats that offer grip, drainage and comfort for staff working in fast-paced, spill-prone environments.
  • Floor Protection: In high-traffic areas, durable mats help prevent wear and protect your flooring over time.
  • Size and Fit: Ensure the mat covers key standing or walking areas without interfering with movement or equipment.

If you need help selecting the right mat for each area of your restaurant, our team at First Mats is happy to assist.

We bought three 10m rolls of ribbed matting for our alpaca barn. Really easy to lay and makes a tough comfortable floor.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions, we’re here to help

Which areas of a restaurant benefit most from mats?

Entrance areas, bar stations, kitchen zones and food preparation areas all benefit from suitable matting to improve safety and cleanliness.

Are rubber mats safe for use in wet areas?

Yes. Rubber mats with drainage holes are designed for wet environments, allowing spills to flow through while keeping staff on a stable, slip-resistant surface.

Can I get branded mats for my restaurant entrance?

Absolutely. Custom logo mats are available to enhance your brand image and create a professional welcome for guests.

Do restaurant mats help reduce fatigue for staff?

Yes. Anti-fatigue rubber mats provide cushioning that reduces strain on legs and feet during long shifts. These can be used behind the bar, or in the kitchen areas.

Most rubber mats can be hosed down or scrubbed with warm water or pressure-washed. All entrance mats can be vacuumed or washed with water, with many being machine washable too. Always check the product descriptions for specific cleaning instructions.

How Do Restaurant Mats Help?

These mats help restaurant owners and mangers by providing stable, slip-resistant surfaces tailored to the needs of different areas within a restaurant. Entrance mats trap dirt and moisture to maintain clean floors and create a welcoming appearance.

Bar and kitchen mats use heavy-duty rubber with drainage holes to improve grip and allow liquids to pass through, keeping working areas safer and more hygienic.

Anti-fatigue properties also help staff stay comfortable during long hours on their feet. Designed for the high demands of hospitality, restaurant mats contribute to a safer, cleaner and more efficient workplace.
