Making the most of Autumn within the Hospitality Industry

Making the most of Autumn in the Hospitality Industry As we approach the cooler months, the need for outdoor dining still remains a prominent income opportunity for those within the hospitality sector. Many hospitality businesses are starting to find they are restricted, due to not having a sheltered outdoor area, reducing the number of dining settings they can turn over, in turn, reducing much-needed revenue to their business. Creating a sheltered area, utilising current outdoor space, enables an all-year-round opportunity to house more patrons, minimising the restriction the cooler weather brings. There are many structures that lend themselves to the hospitality industry, creating a covered area through the cooler months whilst also opening up, when the warmer weather sets in. Two that are most popular within this sector are the bioclimatic structures and the retractable structures, due to their versatility in functions. The bioclimatic structure is by far the most modern, featuring a rotating louvred roof which can be closed to create shelter from the elements or opened, from zero to one hundred and thirty degrees, to allow for natural sunlight and airflow to seep in. The retractable structure features a remote-operated retracting fabric, again enclosing the structure in cooler weather whilst maximising the warm weather throughout the Spring and Summer months. Both structures offer the ability to be fully enclosed with either fixed or sliding glass walls as well as additional items such as integrated lighting systems, creating a warm ambience within. These forms of structures offer a modern and aesthetically pleasing solution to the restriction of British weather, whilst maintaining the amount of people that can be welcomed to a hospitality venue. Marketing Manager Tom Gosling states… “We have supplied and installed outdoor structures to a host of UK businesses within the hospitality industry. Having such a vast range of options, from premium structure providers, enables us to cater for a multitude of requirements, creating utilisable space for all year-round use. As Autumn sets in, we see a rise in the demand for creating an outdoor covered space, specifically within restaurants and hotels, enabling them to maintain a steady flow of customers which is imperative to achieving a stable income. Making use of a bioclimatic or retractable structure, not only creates this additional functional space. but also adds to the customer's dining experience, increasing the opportunity of repeat business. Whilst there are many structures available within the marketplace, it is key to make sure that the structure selected is robust and versatile for both longevity purposes and ensuring the safety of patrons” Outside Structure Solutions are specialists within the hospitality sector, working closely with clients to establish their requirements and making recommendations to a suitable structure that meets those needs.
