Everybody loves a cafe! Dining outside at cafes that offer everything from bagels and coffee to 6-course meals is the epitome of both regular and fine dining. Alfresco dining services not only lend cafes more space, which means more customers, but they give an opportunity that any owner should not overlook: extra advertising space.
By choosing high-quality cafe barriers to surround your outdoor dining space, you’ll have not only an array of branding options as well as a host of other benefits including safety for your guests, orderly entrances and exits, and a versatile long-lasting product. Barriers are a low maintenance, low-cost form of high impact advertising that will certainly make your dining establishment stand out from the rest. We have selected what we believe to be the top benefits of installing a top of the line cafe barrier in front of your restaurant.
Safety and Security
Dining outdoors can be a lovely experience, but not when you are bombarded with passers-by along the busy street. The separation of diners and pedestrian traffic on the sidewalk is paramount to a pleasant dining experience. These barriers ideally act as sidewalk partitions, and are key safety features for keeping pedestrian traffic, and for some locations, even potential pick-pockets or bag snatchers at bay. Commerical barriers can also protect chairs, tables, planters and other decorative things from the incoming winds, debris and trash. They will provide a safe and pleasant area for your diners to enjoy their experience at your establishment
If your restaurant is licensed to sell alcohol, there is a set of standards that you need to adhere to, and that’s the licensing law. Usually, your clients are allowed to drink the alcohol that you sell on the property, but if it spills onto the street, you could be foul of the law, which is the last thing you want in business. So, mark your patio boundaries with heavy-duty barriers and everybody will know where they stand, both figuratively and literally.
Advertising
Well branded restaurant patio barriers can be extremely beneficial when trying to get your location noticed by passers-by. The average main street has rows of buildings that look very similar. As such, anything you do to make your spot stand out will be a huge plus in letting those looking for your location know at a glance where you are located as well as for attracting walk-in business. So, if you want to be easily visible, let your potential customers know that you sell a particular type of coffee, beer, drink special or even make your cafe appear more professional, then cafe barriers are your answer. Custom printing options include sponsor advertisements, promotional messaging, logos and scenic imagery. Barriers can also be designed to hold informational vertical signs or a larger menu sign that will fit into the same base that your barriers are using. Changing your signs or menus is easy and super-fast.
Low Maintenance
As mentioned earlier, you want your restaurant space to look the part. These barriers make your outdoor dining area look more inviting and keep the seating region free of crowds, trash, debris and more. Part of the aesthetic appeal of utilizing these products is that they always appear clean and need little to no maintenance. This is particularly true with rust-free aluminum frames combined with PVC and canvas barriers that are not only water and windproof, but designed to last for years to come. The barriers can easily advertise your restaurant and can carry your logo, which is easily seen by pedestrians and drivers alike. All bases and outdoor sidewalk fencing are made from a top-grade aluminum, galvanized steel, or stainless steel and these frames can be delivered mill finish or metal finish, painted or powder coated. Branding areas can be made using a special outdoor canvas product known as Sunbrella fabric, metal, or plastic poly-carbonate or PVC material.
Versatility
Cafe barriers are undoubtedly a practical crowd control solution that can be installed in an array of layouts. The very high-quality barricades can be configured to an area and can be placed in strategic configurations so you can utilize your eating area the way you want. Bases are custom designed to your specific needs and configuration and can be connected or separated and used individually A well-placed set of barriers or barricades can also help those who have visual impairment easily find the entrance to your café as well as just keep the entering and exiting of guest orderly in general. Any type of business, not just restaurants, can benefit from sidewalk barricades or dividers.
