Design a Covered Outdoor Dining Area
Designing a unique outdoor dining area that stays true to your restaurant’s brand is important for creating an outdoor space that has the same or greater appeal as the main dining room. Whether it is a small alley on the side of your restaurant, a portable structure setup next to your food truck, roof top space with spectacular views, a garden that provides food-to-table service, or a busy sidewalk, a WeatherPort fabric structure can quickly convert any of these open spaces into a functional, covered, and cozy outdoor dining experience that guests will love.
A local eatery recently converted a small space behind their restaurant, using a WeatherPort fabric structure to create a secret garden, complete with string lights, comfortable padded wicker furniture, and using antique gardening tools, created a rustic-chic area for guests to enjoy. Though the space was small and could only accommodate an additional four dining tables with 4 chairs each, as the restaurant owner explained, “It is additional seating we didn’t have before.” At an average price of $30 per meal, this resulted in a revenue increase of $480 per hour.
Here are some considerations and ideas when designing an outdoor dining area for your restaurant:
Safety
Menu
Furniture
- Picnic benches are great for fast casual dining like sandwich, pizzerias, or burger stands.
- Bistro tables offer guests an informal but intimate dining experience. The perfect furniture selection for restaurants wanting to develop a French bistro or European café style setting.
- Wicker furniture and rattan garden furniture treat guests with a warm, welcoming and relaxing experience. Wicker or rattan furniture can enhance any restaurant space (indoors or outdoors) by projecting an image of elegance and charm – ideal for full sit-down meals.
Temperature control
Lighting
WeatherPort fabric structures are incredibly versatile and can be customized to meet your restaurant’s covered outdoor seating or outdoor dining area requirements.
