THE ART OF CREATING ATMOSPHERE: GAZEBOS AND CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
Customers are not just looking for a meal: they are seeking a complete experience. With restaurant tents, you can transform your outdoor space into an oasis of relaxation and entertainment.
Ecotent’s elegant and cozy pop up gazebos can make your restaurant an irresistible place for al fresco dining, creating lasting memories for your customers.
Creating a good atmosphere outside your restaurant is key to delighting customers and retaining their loyalty. Here are some ideas for achieving this:
-
Welcoming lighting: use lighting to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Candles, lanterns, dimmed lights or LED lights can be strategically placed to give your space a romantic and elegant feel.
-
Creative equipment: invest in tables and tables and settings. Colourful napkins, designer cutlery and sophisticated placemats can transform the overall impression.
-
Plants and greenery: incorporate plants, flowers and greenery into your outdoor space. These elements bring life and enjoyment to the environment.
-
Ambient music: a pleasant choice of music can help create the atmosphere you want. Make sure the volume is appropriate and the genre is right for the type of experience you want to provide. Did you know that some studies show that music can even influence the perceived taste of food?
-
Heating/ventilation: make sure the temperature is always appropriate. Baking midday sun or a chilly evening breeze could ruin the overall experience. Our many accessories include radiant heaters for gazebos which could be ideal for you!
-
Covered space: obviously, an outdoor space will always need to be covered, protecting customers from the weather and UV rays. So make sure your shelter is 100% waterproof and has an of UFP 50+ UV barrier.
- Side protection: remember to always have sidewalls with window (panoramic) at the ready. This way, even when the weather is adverse or the temperature is particularly low, you can provide outdoor shelters with indoor-level comfort.
-
Live Entertainment: organise special events with live entertainment, such as musicians or street performers, to create a unique and engaging atmosphere. Remember to prepare a sheltered space for the performers and their equipment as well!
-
Comfortable Furniture: make sure your outdoor furniture is comfortable and cosy. Ergonomic cushions and chairs can make all the difference to your customers’ comfort.
-
Attentive staff: train your staff to be attentive and provide exceptional professional service. Friendly and professional staff contribute significantly to a positive atmosphere. Remember that kindness and smooth service are what customers expect and, to make yourself memorable and amaze them, you need to do more!
-
Curiosity and originality: create surprising elements that catch the customer’s attention, such as outdoor artwork, art installations or unusual details that arouse curiosity.
-
Maintenance: make sure your outdoor space is clean and well maintained. A cared-for environment shows attention to detail and dedication to customer comfort. This also applies to your gazebo, which needs to be cleaned or washed from time to time. Taking care of your gazebo means making sure it always looks new and lasts over time.
Ultimately, creating an extraordinary atmosphere outside your restaurant requires a good sheltering solution, care, attention to detail and the desire to delight customers with an unforgettable experience.
pop up gazebo VS. OTHER ARRANGEMENTS: WHY CHOOSE VERSATILITY?
When it comes to outdoor arrangements, versatility is the key. This is why pop up gazebos are the best choice for your restaurant, with their ease of installation and removal and their adaptability to different occasions thanks to our many accessories and sidewalls. A fixed solution, in addition to being more costly, involves long construction times, building permits, more bureaucracy and more maintenance, with no flexibility in view of weather, number of customers and special events.
Our restaurant tents are available in 15 different colours and can be personalised as desired with the restaurant's logo or a decorative pattern. We also offer various types of textiles including our recycling fabric, made entirely from recycled polyester polymers derived from PET bottles. Ideal for those who want to look after the environment and communicate care for the planet thanks to its distinctive Sand, Olive and Stone colours.
Depending on the size of your outdoor space, you can choose from 11 standard sizes, from 1.5x1.5 m to 8x4 m, and combine them thanks to our user-friendly modular construction system.
A restaurant tent maximises versatile use and flexible personalisation!
