Outdoor Seating: Optimizing Your Space

Keep Operations Tight

Before expanding capacity, ensure everyone can keep up. Adding outdoor seating could double traffic. So, consider adding a new POS terminal outside along with a host station. Will additional staff be needed? How can you ensure an efficient workflow between indoor and outdoor sections? Make sure you have answers to these questions, as it’ll impact your budget and processes.

Work with the Weather

Seasonality and weather fluctuations can impact how often your outdoor seating is used. If you know your weather patterns, you can estimate the percentage of time that outdoor space is expected to be occupied by customers, aka your utilization rate. Increase your utilization rate by weatherizing and shading your space as much as possible.

Set it Up

Now for your space: Make sure your outdoor seating feels lively but not crowded. Find the balance between maximizing customer and server footpaths and creating an appealing ambiance.

Build the Right Ambience

Think comfortable, stackable and durable with neutral shades for tables and chairs. Weatherize as much as you can to keep your furniture from wearing out and fading. Go big on plants including trees for privacy, planter boxes to soften railings and fences and hanging baskets for ambiance. But remember to keep the plants healthy, as a dying garden can put customers off. LED candles and string lights are trendy. Consider the whole experience, right up to the music that’s playing.

Keeping all of these things in mind along with what’s permitted and makes financial sense for you will help guide thoughtful and careful decision-making and lead to success.
