Give Your Customers That Al-fresco Dining Experience With Cost-Effective Outdoor Seating and Tables

If you’re looking to increase your profits, then a simple way to do this is to maximise your floor space. However when the said valuable floor space is often tight indoors, there may well be a pavement area or small terrace that is under utilised. It’s a known fact that more and more cafe owners are utilising outdoor spaces and it’s apparent that as this occurs, customers often prefer to dine or sit outdoors especially if the climate is right. After all people watching is a great past time and what better way to do this than with a glass of something cool on a hot summer’s day.

Creating a good first impression

When considering utilising an outdoor space you’ll need to think about the cafe furniture you’re going to use. After all, it’s the first impression customers are getting about your business, so it needs to be right. You might for example decide to match your outside furniture with that of the interior in order to create design flow throughout. Alternatively, you might want to opt for something totally eye catching and different to bring customers in. There are a wide variety of styles and designs to choose from and in a vast array of colours, so make sure you explore all the avenues open to you before you decide.

Type of furniture

Another criteria to consider is the type of material. For example aluminium tables and chairs are perfectly suited to outdoor climates, but you may sacrifice a degree of comfort for longevity. This is especially true if they’re out in the hot sun for long periods of time. Heavy duty plastic or wood laminate can provide an alternative, but might be more costly.

What about security?

Another thing to consider is security. If your outside space happens to be a pavement area that’s open to the public then chances are that you won’t want to leave your furniture out on full view when the cafe is shut. For this reason you would probably need furniture that’s lightweight enough to be moved easily for storage purposes, but at the same time it’s likely you’re going to need chairs that stack too.
