After our recent visit to Budapest there was something that we noticed in a country that experiences far colder temperatures than the United Kingdom, they sure did have a lot of alfresco options in place at their restaurants and coffee shops. The business proprietors took full advantage of their space by providing the alfresco option, whether it is an awning or a canopy they were usually fully fitted with heaters and side screens to help maintain an appropriate atmosphere to serve customers. The weather is very unpredictable in Hungary but at least they were always prepared for that sudden change.
There are a number of reasons why some establishments look to extend their space further from the indoors to the outdoors. Some simply want to increase their seating capacity, some want to offer an outdoor option and some want to maximise on their sales no matter the weather.
Businesses that invest in outdoor living solutions and make the necessary arrangements to make their external space more appealing will attract more customers to their establishment. Customers want to have the option of being able to drink or dine outside if the weather is right which is why it is vital to have that option in place so that they are able to make that choice.
