Discovering The Benefits of Outdoor Seating Options

hAs one of Sydney’s most trusted commercial furniture wholesalers catering to business owners in the hospitality industry, we understand the significance of outdoor seating options for restaurants, bars, and cafes. The use of quality hospitality furniture in outdoor settings brings many advantages to these businesses.

Today, we’re taking a deep dive into the world of outdoor seating. We’ll explore why investing in outdoor seating options is crucial for hospitality owners and offer a few examples of comfortable and stylish outdoor bar seating you can find right here at Have a Seat.

Enhancing Customer Experience and Satisfaction

One of the biggest benefits of outdoor seating options is the ability to enhance the experience and satisfaction of your clientele. Offering an outdoor seating area allows customers to enjoy their meals or drinks in a refreshing and open-air environment.

This can significantly elevate the overall dining and socialising experience, making it more enjoyable and memorable for guests. With comfortable and stylish outdoor seating, your business can create an elevated ambiance that encourages customers to spend more time (and money!) and return for future visits.

Expanding Seating Capacity

Another notable advantage of incorporating outdoor seating options into your floorplan is the ability to expand the seating capacity of your establishment. Indoor spaces may have limited seating arrangements due to spatial constraints, but by utilising outdoor areas effectively, owners can accommodate more customers and generate additional revenue.

Particularly during peak hours or busy seasons, outdoor seating provides a valuable extension to the available seating options, reducing wait times and ensuring a greater number of satisfied customers.

Capitalising on Good Weather

The weather plays a crucial role in the hospitality industry, and outdoor seating options enable businesses to capitalise on lovely weather. When the sun is shining, people naturally gravitate towards outdoor spaces to enjoy the warmth and beauty of the surroundings.

By providing outdoor seating areas with comfortable furniture, restaurant, bar, and cafe owners can cater to customers who specifically seek a place to dine or socialise in the sunshine. This flexibility allows businesses to maximise their sales potential during favourable weather conditions.

Showcasing Unique Atmosphere and Brand Identity

Outdoor seating options provide an opportunity for hospitality businesses to showcase their unique atmosphere while showing off their brand identity. By carefully selecting quality hospitality furniture that aligns with the establishment’s theme and style, owners can create an aesthetically appealing outdoor space that reflects their brand image.

Whether it’s a modern, sleek design or a rustic and cosy ambiance, the outdoor seating area becomes an extension of the overall aesthetic, leaving a lasting impression on customers and allowing the establishment to stand out from its competitors.

One of my earliest childhood memories is my father taking me to Elias Brother's Big Boy and getting to sit in one of their booths. I couldn't have felt more important if we were seated in a spaceship. This experience of mine was both a special yet also an ordinary experience. Almost everyone feels superior in a restaurant booth!

How often have we heard a customer request table seating instead of a booth? Probably never, because everyone has a table and chairs at home. One of the thrills in going out to eat is sitting in a restaurant booth. Being both public and private at the same time, it's the best of both worlds.

Privacy
If positioned against a wall, it only has one means of access, and with high backs, such a booth can seem like a small room. Sound transmission becomes muffled, so conversations are more private while minimizing the noise from neighboring groups. The bench seating allows patrons to cozy up to each other or to spread out their belongings without fear of passersby plucking their precious valuables away.

Minimize Traffic
The customer also benefits from not enduring the constant flow of humanity rushing past them while they sit defenselessly in their chairs at their table. Some of this humanity is in the form of food servers and table bussers that might drop a steaming bowl of French Onion Soup or a tray of dirty dishes on the helpless patron at any moment. Of course, these accidents rarely do happen, but they nearly always ALMOST happen. Even a near miss with such a projectile is more than the average restaurant goer is willing to endure.

Simpler Access When seated in a restaurant booth, there is only one direction from which all things (both good and bad) can come. Though this may seem to only benefit the guest, the staff also wins from not having to dance around the table to serve and retrieve everything from the proper side. The end result is quicker service allowing for faster table turnover.

With all of the obvious advantages to custom restaurant booth seating, it's no wonder they have been an American favorite for generations. The only trouble is that styles change, and it can be difficult to know what to choose or how to get a practical and comfortable booth set up in your dining room or hospitality space. Fortunately, we here at Modern Line Furniture can walk you through the process of design and booth selection from beginning to end.
