The terms “booth” and “banquette” are often used interchangeably, but there are some subtle differences between the two variations. Kind of like how all bourbon is whiskey but not all whiskey is bourbon, “banquette” is a broad term for a (typically) upholstered fixed bench seat. When two banquettes are placed facing each other with a table between them, they are considered a booth.
Banquettes can be placed in long runs along walls, used in the middle of a space, or in other various configurations to optimize seating space. They also have the benefit of being adaptable for different table arrangements, comfortable for diners, and helping with acoustics (when upholstered).

Booths are generally intended to create a cozy, private seating experience where the banquettes are turned in toward each other. The banquettes that form a booth are often placed back-to-back to create double sided booth seating. This type of arrangement is ideal for creating an atmosphere of comfort and privacy while still allowing guests to enjoy to overall environment of the space.
