The summer season is tantalisingly close and for restaurant owners, that means the busiest period of the year is about to begin. Top to bottom, inside and out there are plenty of creative and refreshing changes you can make to your restaurant in preparation for the high season.
The great outdoors
No matter how small your outside space is, you’ll be surprised how easy it is to splash a bit of summer over your restaurant’s garden, patio or outside bar. As the temperatures rise, little is needed in the way of enticing your guests outside, but there are simple things that can be done to keep them there.
Making the most of your outdoor space by adding tables and chairs can be a great way to encourage guests to sit in the sun. At Trent, we supply an extensive range of outdoor furniture to suit your requirements. From the light-weight aluminium poseur table, ideal for any pub garden or patio to the attractive black rattan plaza chair and grate, we have everything you need to make the most of your space.
Why not think about adding lights to your space, or investing in summer linens and crockery? Make your outdoor space appealing by tidying up and de-weeding.
Bring summer indoors
If outside space is limited, there are plenty of things you can do inside to reflect the summer weather outside. Freshening up your furniture with bright and colourful cushions, or adding flowers to your table and bar decorations are a simple way to make a big change.
Adjusting your floor plan too, can really open up the layout of your restaurant. Fewer tables inside can make for more comfortable dining, especially in the summer’s heat, and ensuring the windows are open will help to blow away the winter cobwebs. Bar stools are a great space-saving addition to any establishment, whilst creating a friendly and sociable atmosphere in the evenings. At Trent, we stock and supply a range of wooden bar stools, in a light, medium and dark oak, suitable for any restaurant environment.
Change it up in the kitchen
Give your guests a reason to visit your restaurant, update your menu to reflect the summer time season! Think about adding smaller dishes that can be enjoyed alongside drinks, or extending your kitchen hours since days are longer and people will want to dine late into the evening. Making your menu colourful and attractive will help you stay ahead of the competition.
Why not think about offering evening foodie events? From tapas for two to summer buffets, there’s plenty of reasons to make your restaurant the hot-spot to enjoy the weather.
