Commercial Awnings Expand Restaurant Serving Area

Commercial Awnings Add Profitable Outdoor Space For Restaurants

Restaurant, bar and cafe customers love to sit outside.  But outside dining isn't possible or comfortable if the sun's light and heat is uncomfortable on your customers, or if it is raining. Retractable commercial awnings and canopies can protect an outdoor space at a cafe, restaurant or bar without having to use umbrellas.  

There are many advantages to retractable awnings and canopies over umbrellas, including:
  • Retractable awnings don't take up valuable space on the ground that could be used for tables
  • Umbrellas don't protect from the sun except for a few hours a day - the wide shade of a retractable awning provides cover over a much larger continuous area
  • Retractable awnings can be motorized and controlled by sensors, eliminating the wasted time and manpower to open and close multiple umbrellas.  Even manually operated awnings open and close as fast or faster than multiple umbrellas
  • Properly set up, retractable awnings can protect against the rain, so you don't lose your valuable outdoor tables in mildly inclement weather
  • With a combination of a retractable awning or canopy, retractable side awnings and/or vertical drop blinds, you can turn your outdoor dining or lounge space into a "outdoor room" in minutes - and keep it warm in cool weather with heaters because you are heating an enclosed space, not trying to warm up the entire sky!
  • Markilux retractable awnings and their exclusive fabrics are built to spec in Germany and designed to last for years, compared to the short lifespan of most umbrellas
Let us show you how an investment in Markilux retractable commercial awnings can add useable table space - and added dollars - to your restaurant, bar, hotel or lounge. Please call today at 650/685-6888 or send an email inquiry to info@markiluxawnings.com.
