Bring your project to life, optimize your patio's flow
Naturally, above all, you want your
patio to be comfortable and easily accessible, both for customers and employees. This means you'll need to pay particular attention to the flow of users.
Therefore, plan a waiting area at the entrance to your patio where your customers can read the menu displayed on a stand or in a window.
Also, don't forget to provide spacious enough aisles, allowing customers with strollers, those with reduced mobility to move around easily with their wheelchairs, as well as servers to move comfortably.
Choose furniture that suits the shape of your patio
The pursuit of maximum modularity should be the decisive criterion when choosing furniture for your restaurant's patio. Choose light furniture, chairs made of polypropylene fiber woven rattan or metal, easy to handle, eye-catching, yet sturdy.
Equip your establishment with an infrared heating system for a better quality-price ratio. At the same time, prefer small tables for your outdoor layout to give it a classic or modern look.
For seating, in addition to the essential chairs, purchase a few extra Maison Louis Drucker stools. Slim and space-saving, these Louis Drucker furniture pieces will allow you to increase your seating capacity, especially at table ends, without occupying too much circulation space.
We also recommend choosing patio furniture that can be quickly folded and stacked during service and easily adapted to the influx of customers. Also, thin patio dividers or an ornamental planter in synthetic weave (smooth or braided) or removable canvas ensure durability and easy maintenance.
The quest for more comfort for the well-being of your clientele
Because you cannot expect your customers to be as weather-resistant as your furniture, do not forget to protect your patio with parasols or dividers! Depending on its location, you may need to protect your beautiful patio from traffic pollution or wind. Several solutions are available to you for this. These solutions will result in a more or less significant enclosure of your patio depending on the chosen height.
To further protect your customers from the elements, you will install umbrellas or awnings, and thanks to them, your beautiful patio will no longer be empty under a scorching sun or pouring rain.
Decorate your patio with taste and refinement
In fine weather, a patio is an undeniable asset for a restaurant. To attract customers and stand out from the competition, take care of both the exterior and interior of your restaurant. Therefore, strive to create a specific atmosphere according to the establishment's architecture, its location, and your menu.
Among the most popular styles, we will find the modern or more traditional style, embellished with vintage furniture that will then impose its classic or refined lines, awakened by a few touches of vibrant colors, electric blue cushions, and red metal chairs.
Does your ecological sensitivity push you towards a more natural style? Then opt for a wooden patio and recycled materials.
Don't forget to take care of your patio lighting
There is no evening service without adequate lighting. Because visual pleasure is just as important as taste, consumers need to see clearly what's on their plate! Suspended under parasol canopies, pendant lights and ceiling lights spread a uniform and diffused light.
Ambient lamps, wall lights, or outdoor floor lamps will in turn provide an additional light source that will accentuate the cozy side of your patio. Pathways will be marked by underground lighting or streetlights that combine aesthetics and safety.
