What is the clear coating on restaurant dining tables?

Say I have a wooden dining table that I love but I hate having to use table pads and a table cloth just to have an informal meal because I don't want spills and condensation to ruin the finish on my table.

What I would like to know is: what is that clear, high-gloss, waterproof, scratch proof coating I see on restaurant tables and sometimes on stair railings or outdoor railings and other outdoor wood fixtures and furniture? is is a special polyurethane or some kind of lacquer? If anyone knows what it is, do you know if it can be easily applied by a novice to any wood fixture or furniture?

Thanks in advance.

It's a polyurethane coating but if you use it on good wood, you will wreck the wood and the value of the table you are trying to protect will be gone. for casual meals, it would be better to use a waterproof tablecloth that is easily cleaned and then removed.

Just get a gloss, water proof finish for wood at any paint store or lowes near you

Epoxy. And yes, pretty easy.

Resin, can get messy.
