4 Ways Restaurants Should Use Fabric Enclosures In 2022.
In as much as it was marred with uncertainty, 2021 provided a timely opportunity for restaurateurs to reopen their doors, welcome back guests, and get their businesses up and running. What's more positive was the optimism that came with the enrollment of the Covid-19 vaccine in the past few months, which has now reached its optimum stages. However, even as we approach 2022, as a hospitality industry stakeholder, you should realize that your business's strategic goals and plans will need to cover a wide variety of factors.
Consequently, we have prepared this short yet comprehensive guide to walk you through the effective ways in which your restaurant can consider using fabric enclosures in 2022. Well, let's dive right in!
Effective Ways To Use Fabric Enclosures In Your Restaurant
Whether it's protecting your employees and customers from the outdoor elements like the unpredictable weather, or adding a fine-looking touch to your outdoor experience, using fabric and metal will at least get your restaurant to rightfully compete with the 'big boys' if not move ahead of them. Below are some of the effective ways your restaurant should consider using fabric and metal to stay competitive in the next year.
Drive-thru Booths
Whether it's for added protection from the outdoor elements, or additional protection from viruses or other transmitted diseases, protecting your employees and customers should be a top priority, especially at these uncertain times. That is why many fast food restaurants are rethinking how they engage with their customers outside; specifically within the drive thru. Because of this, one item to consider is adding a drive-thru booth to enhance your customers' experience.
Drive-thru booths are a relatively new concept in the US. However, since the onset of the pandemic, savvy business owners, especially restaurant owners, have been in a rapid move to implement them within their premises amid the calls for contactless management. So, by installing simple drive-thru shelters, your restaurant will be in a position to stand the test of these times. Plus, even as the fear of the spread of the virus increases due to the emergence of new variants, your restaurant will be able to maintain efficiency and also provide a consistent experience for your customers.
That said, as you look into bettering your customer experience this year, adding a drive-thru booth with the touch of fabric and metal to your restaurant will go a long way to strengthen your brand in the eyes of the consumers. Again, it should be one of your priorities, so that you can catch up with your competitors who are already using the drive-thru innovation. Additionally, it’s another way for you to make your drive thrus more efficient, which means more opportunity to put cash in your pocket.
Seasonal Vestibule
From offering additional protection from the elements, meeting the current business requirements amid the pandemic, to marketing your restaurant, putting up a seasonal vestibule can be your go-to answer in 2022. And although many people are not familiar with the term, a vestibule in its simplest form can be described as an impermanent structure set at a building's entrance or seating space to provide an extra barrier from the weather elements.
Think of how unpredictable the weather can be, especially during certain times of the year. Snow, ice, or wind can be a serious nuisance to your customers and employees, especially during the winter. And while seasonal vestibules, or rather, winter vestibule enclosures, can be a great way to block the elements from entering your premises, they can also be used to better air condition a space during the summer. So, in addition to giving you an extra layer of protection, vestibules can significantly enhance the experience of both your customers and employees.
In short, like the drive-thru booths, vestibules can serve the purpose of protecting your customers and employees from the elements. Plus, they can be an ideal solution for your restaurant, especially during this covid-19 pandemic, which has driven most businesses into realigning how they conduct their operations.
