How to Improve Your Beach-Side Restaurants Outdoor Patio in Time for Summer

Summer is here, and beach season is about to hit full swing. As a beach-side restaurant owner, you need to step up your game and make sure your outdoor patio is ready to handle the influx of hungry and thirsty customers. Upgrading your outdoor space can make it a hot destination for lunches, dinners, and late-night drinks alike. There’s every reason to transform your patio so that it’s more beautiful and more comfortable this year. To help you focus your efforts, use these top tips to help you redesign your patio space:

Add Adjustable Glass Wind Barriers

First things first, let’s talk about wind. We all love a refreshing breeze, but nobody wants their hair in their face while they’re chowing down on some delicious food. That’s where adjustable glass wind barriers come in. An adjustable beach wind barrier can slide up and down as necessary to combat the wind and protect your customers from tousled hair and food flying everywhere. Since these windbreakers are glass, your customers will still get that stunning view of the beach that your restaurant is so famous for.

Add a Beautiful Awning

Another way to improve your beach-side restaurant’s outdoor patio is to add a beautiful awning. Not only will it protect your customers from the scorching sun, but it will also add some serious style to your outdoor space. Consider choosing an awning that complements the colors and style of your restaurant to create a cohesive and attractive look. You can encourage climbing plants like roses to grow up along them as well, to bring a beautiful element to your space.

Wrap Your Patio in Netting

Birds and beaches go hand-in-hand, but birds and food are a nightmare. To keep those birds and seagulls out, add light-colored netting around your patio space. Considering how bold these birds are getting, working to keep them out is a must. Not only can a net keep them out, but it’ll also prevent them from hanging out near your patio, meaning there’s less risk of unwanted bird poo or noise. If you want to hide this net as much as possible, put it above the awning or, alternatively, install it as high up as you can go so that the netting blends in with the space.

Decorate with Beach-Friendly Plants and Flowers

No beach-side restaurant patio is complete without some beach-friendly plants and flowers. Think palm trees, succulents, and bright, tropical blooms. Not only will these stunning additions make your patio look like a lush paradise, but they’ll also help to establish a winning atmosphere that’s inviting and relaxing.

Have Heaters at the Ready

Last but not least, don’t forget about the chillier evenings. You’ll want to have heaters primed and at the ready to keep your customers warm and cozy. Imagine sitting outside with a blanket, enjoying a delicious meal and a cold drink, all while the stars twinkle above you. That’s the kind of atmosphere you want to create! Offering these heaters will help you keep customers out on your patio for longer, which in turn almost doubles the number of tables you can serve at once. If you’re in a popular tourist town, this can increase your revenue substantially, making it a win-win for everyone!
