12-Month Profitability: Bioclimatic Pergola for Hospitality
by Pergolas Canarias
Every day your terrace is empty due to bad weather is money lost. A bioclimatic pergola eliminates that problem at the root. Let’s look at the numbers.
The cost of NOT having a pergola
An average restaurant in the Canary Islands with a 50 m² unprotected terrace:
- Actual usable days per year: ~200 days (wind, rain, nighttime cold)
- Lost diners: ~1,750 per year (10/day × 175 lost days)
- Lost revenue: ~€35,000/year (€20 average ticket)
What you gain with a pergola
- Usable days: 340-365 days per year
- Additional diners: ~1,750 recovered people
- Improved turnover: customers stay longer when comfortable (more dessert, coffee, drinks consumption)
Beyond sun protection
The bioclimatic pergola adds value beyond simple protection:
- Premium brand image: a well-designed terrace attracts new customers
- Event space: company dinners, family celebrations
- Differentiation: when neighboring terraces are empty, yours is full
- Customer loyalty: customers who enjoy a pleasant terrace come back
Real profitability example
A restaurant in a Canarian tourist area invested €22,000 in a complete system. 12-month results:
- Terrace revenue: from €80,000 to €112,000 (+40%)
- Additional private events: €24,000 (previously couldn’t hold them)
- Total investment recouped: in 7 months
