Sometimes what seems like the best deal is not always. The most important rule to follow when trying to maximize a budget is to do your research. First find the companies with the lowest prices, but then also inquire about bulk discounts. Often suppliers will add a 5 or 10% discount to large orders. Paying attention to discounts like these can save you money while still giving the same amount of furniture.
Say you have 23 tables in your restaurant, each needing 4 chairs. That makes for 92 chairs total. For ease, lets say each chair costs $50. The chairs alone will run you $4,600. However, if the furniture supplier has a bulk discount on orders over 100 chairs, it is in your best interest to order a few more. If you buy 100 chairs at $50 a piece the subtotal is $5,000. Add a 10% discount and your total is $4,500, $100 less than if you only ordered the 92 chairs that you needed. In the end, you get more chairs for less money. The supplier may also have discounts on tables so you might be able to get 2 extra tables for the extra chairs you have for a good deal.
Ultimately, to find the best deals on furniture, you need to do some research. visit several places to compare prices and ask about any discounts before you place your order.
