Creating the ROIght Atmosphere for Your Restaurant

Posted by Natalie Carlin on May 13, 2014 at 10:01am

Attract Customers

The quality of your service and menu will keep customers coming back. But, with a variety of choices for eating out, how do you catch the customer's eye in the first place? Curb appeal, or the outside appearance of your building to help attract customers. It can even help them remember you.

If someone were to give directions to your restaurant, what would they say? "It's the third one on the right." Or, "Look for the place with the black awning with the name in lights." Perhaps, "Look for the quaint cafe with outdoor seating in the front - underneath the scalloped awnings."

Comfort and Ambiance

Customers like to have choices. What is on the menu and where can I enjoy my time at your establishment? It is more than "inside or outside?" It is "What IS outside?" The possibilities are endless: ceiling fans to increase circulation, misting systems for cooling, lighting systems to accent fabrics, portable heaters for cool weather, and railings or curtains to establish boundaries.

There are retractable solar shades and mesh shades that even the closed position you can still see the view, but without the blinding glare, intense heat, and harmful effects of UV rays. When the rain starts or the breeze gets too strong, you can press a button and roll down the weather curtains.

With the right accessories for your climate, you can actually have a "Four Seasons" room that will allow the maximum seating capacity every day of the year.

Variety of Custom-Made Structures

In addition to porte cocheres, canopies (fabric and metal), all weather shades & curtains, Awnings of Hollywood also designs and builds glass and metal railing systems, bahama shutters, covered parking and retractable roofs and awnings.

Our retractable roof system will give you the best of both worlds. Open it in the evening to get true outdoor dining and close it to block the sun or rain. It comes complete with an integrated water elimination system to collect and drain water.

ROI - Return on Investment

We have taken areas that were once just hard ground and transformed them into bustling, money producing covered patio areas. They range from a concrete slab with an awning cover to marble floors with retractable roof systems. An area that was once unusable becomes an "in demand" seating area.
