Carol Burke
Smart and Capable
Our 3 x 3 adjustable height table Bitsy is a powerhouse. She’s smart, attractive, and upwardly mobile. The classic overachiever, Bitsy works just agreeably as a standing desk as a kitchen island. At your restaurant she serves diners hospitably whether they’re sitting or standing. A multitude of Bitsys can handle your dinner or happy hour crowd with ease. She makes it look effortless, but you’ll be amazed at all the ways one table can make life happier, healthier, more productive and more efficient.
1. Ultimate Adjustable Height Restaurant Table
You’ve probably wished more than once that you could clone your best, hardest-working employee. Somehow he or she seems to do twice the work of everyone else, every single shift. That worker is always cheerful, always finding new solutions, always up for whatever comes next. When you choose Bitsy, you’ll quickly discover this little workhorse becomes one of the most dependable members of your restaurant team.
Most Accommodating Restaurant Table Size
Hotel management software provider Gather says the average sit-down restaurant party includes 3.7 guests, usually spending anywhere from $50 to hundreds of dollars per table. Since guests only come in whole units, that decimal indicates a large number of parties that either includes two or four people, with a much smaller number of singles and trios. The bottom line, most of your restaurant tables need to sit between two and four guests.
That’s where Bitsy’s “four-top” dimensions make her the perfect fit every time. Couples can sit facing to gaze into each other’s eyes or on adjoining corners so it’s easier to whisper sweet nothings. Yet there’s also plenty of room for three or four guests and whatever they order.
Most Adaptable Table for Restaurant Layouts
Square tables allow for versatile restaurant layouts. All square tables can be pushed together and configured for parties and groups, but it’s easier to do so with Bitsy.
Think how many times you’ve cringed hearing tables scrape across the floor as employees dragged them together or put them back in their original positions. Or how often you’ve watched guests uncomfortably trying to balance their plate on the crack between two uneven tables. None of that happens with Bitsy.
She’s on wheels, so she’ll silently glide wherever you need her to go. Lock her weight-rated casters and she won’t move from that spot until you’re ready. There’s no back-tracking, so if customers push down on the tabletop or staff plunks down heavy platters, the tabletop won’t drop, even when extended to full height.
Bitsy provides the ultimate flexibility. Several Bitsys can be combined any way you choose. Wheel her out at counter height (34 to 36 inches) to prepare fresh fare for guests right at the table. Crank her up to bar height (40 to 42 inches) for a stand-up happy hour that allows guests to mingle. Bring her back to standard table height (around 30 inches) to have a sit-down dinner table or café table.
Small Table, Big Welcome
Standard height is also wheelchair height, so filling your restaurant with Bitsys means every dining room table can be ADA accessible. And while Bitsy makes a big impact, at bar height she’s great for small spaces. Taller tables appear smaller, so you can put more in nooks and corners and still create a feeling of spaciousness.
2. Adjustable Height Table for Catering
A caterer’s job requires skill, concentration and a huge amount of physical stamina. To offer the freshest, most attractive fare you prep for hours before an event, and after that it’s showtime. You serve for hours, then there’s still hours more to go on cleanup. Bitsy is the ultimate caterer’s assistant, lending a helping hand at every stage.
She’s a sturdy work surface while you decorate trays of petit fours, fill mini quiches, assemble sliders and do the intricate work that turns your fruit trays into masterpieces. Roll her into the walk-in freezer to keep things chilled until time to go, and then let her ride with you to your event where she’ll be just as helpful.
Once there, Bitsy becomes a bar height cocktail table for casual, effortless food and beverage service. Or let her elevate your masterpiece when you put other food on standard buffet tables and use Bitsy for your tiered wedding cake or Willie-Wonka sized chocolate fountain.
When the event is over and your body is exhausted, Bitsy stands strong. As you break down equipment, clean it and pack it for storage, Bitsy can keep items at counter height if it’s easier to stand or return to standard height if you need to give your feet a rest.
3. Adjustable Height Kitchen Island
For some reason, most kitchens are designed with all food prep surfaces at about 30 inches off the ground. Most humans aren’t standard sized, and cooking is both time and labor intensive.
Start at counter height while you chop, mix and prep. Crank Bitsy to bar height to serve appetizers and drinks. She’ll happily pitch in as a dining room table during dinner parties. Then roll everything back to the kitchen for effortless cleanup.

4. Craft Table
HGTV says, “A sturdy work table with a lot of work space is the key to a productive craft room. Choose a large, durable table – either metal or wooden is ideal.” Their article goes on to point out you can increase height by adding blocks or PVC pipe to a regular table’s legs. But with Bitsy, you don’t have to. Use the hand crank and she’ll cheerfully raise or lower your project to the perfect height.
5. Variable Height Coffee Shop Table
Bitsy is all about grabbing a cup of coffee with a friend. She’s the perfect adjustable height table for coffee shops because there, atmosphere is everything. Get that right and you’ll have a constant stream of customers. Miss the mark and no matter how you roast your coffee, your business won’t make it.
What separates a coffee shop from places you get your Joe handed to you through a window isn’t just the beans. To friends, a coffee shop means warmth and making connections. To the self-employed it’s a place of energy and creativity. And to almost all groups, it feels like a home away from home.
For your coffee shop guests, Bitsy listens but doesn’t repeat gossip. She reflects cheerful conversation and supports cup after cup of excellent brew, and never interrupts during intellectual debates. She’s your office away from the office, a sturdy desk whatever your occupation. And if other team members wander in, push two Bitsys together and turn the coffee shop into a relaxed meeting away from the daily grind.

9. Most Attractive Sit Stand Desk
Some pretty alarming statistics indicate your standard height desk could actually be killing you. The World Health Organization warns around two million deaths a year can be attributed to diseases caused by physical inactivity. The organization lists a sedentary lifestyle as one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide.
How Being Sedentary Can Kill You
We’re not being dramatic, sitting all day can double your risk of heart disease, diabetes and obesity. It raises your risk of colon cancer, depression and anxiety.
Those chronic diseases can all be fatal. Even if you regularly hit the gym, an hour of physical activity here and there isn’t enough to undo the damage done by spending most of your time sitting at your desk. However, you can decrease your risk by reducing your amount of sedentary time. That’s how Bitsy can literally be a lifesaver.
One Small Adjustable Standing Table Fights Disease
Bitsy is a height adjustable standing desk with a hand crank. A few smooth revolutions raises your work surface so you can stand to work, whether you’re tall, short or average sized. Then, if your feet get tired, lower your small adjustable standing table and take a seat. Shifting between the two makes you healthier and reduces your risk of developing chronic diseases.
Medical research supports the benefits of breaking up periods of sitting with standing. Here are just a few of the most compelling studies:
An adjustable standing table helps you burn more calories – A Mayo Clinic study assessed more than 7,000 men and women and found men who stood at least 6 hours daily had a 59% reduced chance of becoming obese. Women who stood for the same amount of time had a 35% reduced risk of obesity.
Standing lowers risk of type 2 diabetes – The American Diabetes Association found breaking up periods of sitting by standing or light intensity walking for as little as five minutes can reduce blood sugar levels by up to 34%.
Standing regularly fights risk factors for cancer – The American Institute for Cancer Research attributes nearly 50,000 cases of breast cancer and more than 40,000 cases of colon cancer to sedentary lifestyles.
The above studies took into account known risk factors like age, cigarette use, unhealthy eating and being overweight. In every scenario, being sedentary caused a significantly higher risk for developing and dying from chronic disease.
Better Health and Better Looks
Other adjustable standing tables are plain vanilla. Seriously, Google “sit stand desk” and click on a few of the results. They have zero personality. Now look at these photos of Bitsy.
