Restaurant Floor Mats: Entrance, Kitchen and Bar
Restaurants need two kinds of mats. At the front of the house, entrance and logo mats keep dirt and rain off the dining room floor. In the kitchen and behind the bar, grease-resistant rubber mats with drainage holes let spills drain away and give staff stable footing and relief from standing.
Legendary Doormats carries grease-resistant kitchen matting such as Safe Walk, Multi-Mat II, Versa Runner and Knob Top Niru, plus entrance mats and custom logo mats with a free proof. Shop Kitchen Mats.

Choosing a kitchen mat
- Fryers and grill lines: a grease-resistant mat with drainage holes, such as Safe Walk (red greaseproof) or Multi-Mat II.
- Dish pits and bar wells: drainage plus resistance to cleaning chemicals (Versa Runner, Cushion Dek).
- Dry stations where staff stand for hours: an anti-fatigue mat like Comfort King.
- Clean kitchen mats regularly according to the product page and your local health requirements. Lightweight mats like Multi-Mat II are easier to move for cleaning.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best floor mat for a restaurant kitchen?
A grease-resistant rubber mat with drainage holes. Safe Walk is 7/8" thick with drainage holes and comes in grease-resistant black or red greaseproof. Multi-Mat II is a lighter 3/8" reversible option that resists grease, oils and fats.
Why do kitchen mats have holes?
Drainage holes let liquids and food waste pass through the mat, so the surface where staff stand stays drier and less slippery.
What's the difference between grease-resistant and greaseproof?
On Safe Walk mats, black is grease resistant and red is the greaseproof version, made for heavier grease exposure like fryer lines.
What mat should go behind a bar?
A drainage mat that resists liquids and cleaning chemicals, such as Versa Runner (described for behind-bar use) or Cushion Dek.
Can I get a restaurant logo mat for the entrance?
Yes. Logo mats come in rubber, berber, nylon, coir and PVC loop, each with a free mockup/proof first.
