The terrace is one of the most profitable assets of a restaurant. A well-covered and protected terrace can generate up to 40% of total revenue. But every business has different needs.

Self-diagnosis: what does your terrace need?

Answer these questions:

How many months a year do you currently use the terrace?
Do you lose customers on windy or rainy days?
Is your terrace exposed to direct sun during peak hours?
Do you need a premium look for your clientele?
What is your investment budget?
