outdoor spaces summer ready

2. Shout about it
You’ve put effort into making your outdoor spaces inviting, so let the world know! Snap some gorgeous photos to share on social media and encourage customers to do the same.
3. Consider an app
Make it even easier for customers to relax and enjoy their time in the sunshine by implementing an app that allows them to order drinks straight to their table. Since 2020, numerous free and paid options have become available – helping venues go digital with ease.
4. Make it inviting
Maybe it’s obvious, but making your outdoor spaces inviting and welcoming to customers will only make them want to stay longer. Think about the atmosphere you want to cultivate. A lively party vibe? Turn up the music and fairy lights and think about keeping space clear for dancing. Or do you want a more chilled out, family-friendly atmosphere? More and bigger tables along with some nice relaxing greenery will help the lazy afternoon crowd feel right at home.
Whether it’s giving your outside area a little refresh or a complete make over, we’ve put together a few tips that might help.
