Add Valuable Outdoor Space to Your Dining Restaurant

Posted on August 22, 2024 by Emily Ha

As the hospitality industry has experienced the busiest time in the summer and moving ahead of the festive season, creating an inviting and functional outdoor space might be a good step to attracting more customers and boosting revenue.

Increase Revenue with a Terrace Cover

Adding a terrace cover or other outdoor shading solutions can significantly increase your restaurant’s seating capacity. When the demand is high as during the peak dining hours or large booking in festive season, more seats mean more customers can be served.

Protect from the weather elements

In summer, it can be seen clearly that a well designed glass veranda with retractable blind can block the sun and let in natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. However, there is a common question of whether the glass verandas can stay in the winter or not? The simple answer is yes. Glass Verandas with heaters act as a barrier against harsh winds, snow and freezing temperatures then offer a cosy and comfortable area. This protection not only enhances comfort, but also extends the usability of outdoor areas during the winter, providing business with opportunity to accommodate more customers year round.

Glass Verandas are the perfect option for all year weather protection. They are paired with an under glass awning you have the ultimate all year round solution to allow natural light but also protect patrons from harmful UV rays along with cover from showers and wind. Add heating and lighting to extend those outdoor seating hours well into the late evening, providing a comfortable place for people to enjoy the warm atmosphere.

Boost the kerb appeal

A stylish outdoor area enhances your restaurant or pub exterior, making it more inviting to passersby. An appealing exterior can draw in potential customers, increasing brand visibility and both offline and online recognition.
