As soon as the sun shines, the Dutch love to sit outside on the terrace, and preferably all year round. There are huge opportunities here for hospitality entrepreneurs. Catering entrepreneur Bas Neienhuijsen generates over 30% of his turnover from his terrace. Do you, as an entrepreneur, want to let your guests sit outside all year round and also generate more turnover? Read here how you can extend your terrace season.
Durable patio heating
On many terraces, heaters and gas burners turn on as soon as it gets colder in the evening. But this can leave the gas bill quite high. Catering entrepreneur Bas Neienhuijsen of Café Faber recently purchased heat cushions from Sit & Heat. These heat cushions offer an energy-efficient solution for terrace heating. Guests are heated directly by the cushions, so no heat is lost to the outside air. According to Bas Neienhuijsen: 'The heat cushions give me the opportunity to extend the terrace season. This way, I can give my guests an optimal experience all year round and create a cosy terrace in winter too. We also organise fun activities in the winter months such as a monthly pub quiz and a Pizza Sunday to remain known as Nijmegen's cosiest café.'
Catering terrace equipment
With comfortable furniture, windbreaks, canopies, heated cushions and blankets, you can offer your guests a warm experience all year round. Table fires also offer a lot of atmosphere. With a simple push of a button, you already switch on the table fireplace. The flicker and glow of the fire has a lot of appeal and can attract many potential guests to your terrace.
Original menu
An attractive menu that responds to the seasons should not be missing. In summer, you can go all out with different cocktails, rosés or fresh wines. Then in autumn you can complement your menu with delicious autumn and winter beers. Large winter serving platters, stews, soups, stew and fresh mulled wine will make your guests stay longer and spend more on your terrace.
