When you think of tabletop accessories that help set the ambiance of a restaurant, candles and flowers arrangements often comes to mind. A restaurant can set the mood by what type of table lighting and centerpiece decorations it has.

Flower vases are the most common tabletop accessory. The type and shape of the vase can help set the mood, as will the displayed items. Vases are usually made out of either ceramic or glass and come in a straight cylinder or a decorative shape. The vases hold either silk or fresh flowers, plants, or other items, which are set into an arrangement.

Either wax or liquid fuel cell candles accomplish the task of tabletop lighting. Liquid fuel cells burn cleaner, are non-staining, and there is no melted wax mess to clean up. A single fuel cell can burn for as little as eight hours for a tea light to as long as 45 hours for the larger size. The liquid fuel cells that Serv-U sells are approved for restaurant use. The fuel is non-toxic and non-flammable. It is in the same category as vegetable oil, which is a NFPA Class IIIB Combustible liquid, a non-hazardous liquid per the D.O.T. It is safe to use on tabletops and there are no shipping restrictions, storage limits or insurance worries.
