The top 10 benefits of outdoor shading for your restaurant

If one of your new year’s resolutions is to grow your restaurant and expand your capabilities, a garden structure is the perfect solution. We outline just some of the great benefits awnings, umbrellas and louvered roof pergolas can offer.
Increase covers all year round
By investing in outdoor shading for your restaurant, you effectively create a whole other room for your establishments, therefore increasing your covers.
Create a versatile garden pod
At Broadview Outdoor Shading Solutions, you can add sliding glass panels to your garden structure so, in the colder months, you can simply slide the panels shut and you create a cosy garden pod without blocking the view.
Keep your customers warm with heaters
You can also add wonderfully warming outdoor heaters to your awning or patio structure. As these can be built into the arms or structure, your customers will be toasty warm without the fuss of bulky, unstable gas canisters.
Integrated lighting keeps guests outside for longer
As well as adding heaters to your shading solution, opt to add integrated LED lighting. These pretty lights create the perfect ‘Instagrammable’ glow that means your diners can stay outside long into the night.
Let your customers dine in comfort
Al fresco dining demands a premium in the summer months so make sure your restaurant is ready to cater to those diners wanting the perfect outside experience by investing in outdoor shading.
Outdoor shading offers unrivalled flexibility
A cosy garden pod with heating in the winter and an open al-fresco dining space in the summer. Garden structures offer unrivalled flexibility that just can’t be matched by a conservatory or extension.
Stand out from the crowd
An awning or pergola from Broadview is a stunning modern structure that boosts the visual appeal of your restaurant. You can view some of the ways we’ve helped transform businesses with our garden structures here.
Utilise the space to offer extra services
Does your establishment have a garden or view that would be the perfect setting for weddings and other celebrations? A garden structure gives you the additional space you need to offer extra services and is the perfect place to host an event while surrounded by the beauty of nature.
Host events in your garden structure
Show off your new dining room and encourage new customers to visit your restaurant by hosting events in your garden structure. They can be anything you like, from quizzes and dart competitions to food tastings and BBQs!
Protect your diners from harsh weather conditions
A garden structure provides your diners with much needed shelter from the ever-changing weather conditions. At Broadview, you even have the choice to add automation to your shading so you can provide cover from rain or shade from the sun at the touch of a button.
