Now that warmer weather has arrived, an outdoor eating space at your restaurant is something to seriously consider. To attract people to your eating establishment, set the tone for relaxing in an open-air location right from the start. What can be more inviting than a comfortable seating area filled with guests enjoying your delicious food and drinks while soaking up the fresh air? We have put together some pretty and practical suggestions.
First, the pretty…
Get creative! You can offer more than a delicious meal – give your customers experience! You don’t need a lot of room to make a beautiful and memorable dining area. Here are a few well-garnered tips to make your outdoor eating venue a popular destination:
- For starters, umbrellas offer cool shade during the day. Add string party lights and you immediately set the mood for an enjoyable evening!
- Use a border to create the space into an outdoor room. This can be as elaborate as fencing and greenery under a pergola, to a simple rope and some potted plants. Big or small, your design should create a cozy feel.
- Take it up a notch and set up a grilling area. Why not offer a special menu just for the grill? This idea contributes to a fun and casual atmosphere in your outdoor eating space.
- Another suggestion to consider is opening a bar area. Include a drink menu that features your unique specialty drinks! Set up standard and bar-height tables and chairs for an enticing appearance.
- Last but not least, don’t forget to promote your outdoor seating! Pictures speak a thousand words. Post them on your website and social media to reach as many as possible. To attract the local community, set up a sidewalk sign. They come in all sizes, shapes, and colors!
