In the hospitality and restaurant industry, the terrace is often the first visual contact a customer has with your establishment. A well-designed outdoor space can be a major asset to attract customers, especially in the summer. But how do you choose the ideal outdoor furniture to optimize comfort, durability and aesthetics? Here are our expert tips to guide you in choosing the right terrace furniture for your restaurant space.
1. Define the Style of Your Terrace
Terrace furniture should be in harmony with the visual identity of your restaurant. The modern, industrial, classic or even bohemian style will influence your choice of tables, chairs, parasols and decorations. Think of materials that match this style, such as polypropylene , aluminum , or woven PVC textile. The Sunset armchairs from Grosfillex , for example, combine contemporary design and comfort, perfect for a modern and elegant atmosphere.
2. Opt for Resistant and Durable Materials
One of the essential factors to consider is the durability of the furniture. Since your terrace is exposed to the elements (sun, rain, wind), it is crucial to choose materials that are resistant to natural elements.
Here are some recommended options:
Resin : A lightweight, easy-to-maintain material that is resistant to UV rays, humidity and salt air. The Cannes collection by Grosfillex is an excellent choice for combining comfort and robustness.
Metal : Aluminium or stainless steel are durable and add a contemporary touch. They are low maintenance and ideal for urban environments. View the range of folding table legs
3. Choose Stackable and Modular Furniture
In a professional environment where space often needs to be optimized, stackable or foldable furniture is a real asset. Not only does it make storage easier in bad weather, but it also allows you to quickly adapt your reception capacity according to needs.
Grosfillex stackable outdoor chairs and armchairs, tables with folding tops such as the Cannes and Sunset ranges are designed for easy and practical use, while being robust and comfortable for customers.
4. Don’t Neglect Customer Comfort
Comfort is essential to ensure your customers feel comfortable and extend their relaxing time on your terrace. Make sure to choose ergonomic chairs and armchairs that offer good support, especially if your customers spend a long time there. The Sunset Comfort collection offers an integrated padded backrest and seat.
Consider modular solutions such as lounge chairs that invite you to relax. Grosfillex low conversational lounges have all the features to create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
5. Consider Available Space
The choice of furniture must also adapt to the size and layout of your terrace. For a small space, opt for round or square tables that optimize capacity without obstructing traffic flow. If you have more space, rectangular or larger tables can accommodate larger tables.
6. Anticipate the Interview
To ensure the longevity of your furniture, choose materials that are easy to maintain. Resin and metal, for example, can be cleaned simply with soapy water. Regular maintenance is essential to keep your facilities clean and welcoming all year round.
Some Grosfillex ranges are particularly appreciated for their easy maintenance, such as the Outdoor resin chairs and armchairs which do not require any specific treatment and easily regain their original shine.
7. Invest in Quality and Sustainability
Purchasing outdoor furniture for a restaurant is an investment. It is essential to think carefully about your project and define your priority criteria. Choose products designed to withstand intensive use in the hotel and restaurant sector.
8. Don’t Forget the Additional Comfort Elements
Finally, to complete your terrace, think about additional elements such as parasols which will protect your customers from direct UV rays by providing them with shade, as well as your terrace furniture.
Choosing the right patio furniture for your restaurant area is a key decision that influences both the image of your establishment and the experience of your customers. Relying on durable, comfortable and aesthetic materials, while optimizing space, is essential to create a welcoming environment. By investing in quality products like those offered by Grosfillex, you ensure not only a successful layout but also longevity and practicality that will facilitate your professional daily life.
Opt for the right balance between style, comfort and functionality, and your terrace will become a real asset to attract and retain your customers.
