The colder months are upon us again. Temperatures slowly drop and it gets dark faster again. A warm and cosy winter terrace can greatly increase sales during this period! But how do you do it?
Record high
CBS recently announced that the hospitality turnover in the Netherlands is at a record high! This strong growth has increased the importance of the hospitality industry to the Dutch economy in recent years. According to Entree Magazine, hospitality, creativity and willingness to invest are the keys to success! This is how positive developments and innovations are created. We would like to describe why Sit & Heat can ensure success on your winter terrace.
Hospitality
A while ago, Radboud Bergevoet, editor-in-chief of Misset Horeca, wrote a column about his experience with Sit & Heat at the Blonde Pater in Nijmegen. "Could I ever get used to a chair-heated terrace again? Instant luxury is an addictive drug". A piece of extra service and hospitality to guests.
Creativity
For proper warmth on a terrace, gas or electric heaters are mainly used. Unfortunately, a lot of energy is lost to the outside air in this process. Heating users directly is not only more energy-efficient, but also a surprising and new experience for many guests. The warm appearance of heaters can be compensated by orange LED lighting.
Willingness to invest
In January, the SRA hospitality scan revealed that hospitality entrepreneurs' money supply is opening up again. Like consumers, the majority of entrepreneurs want to spend more money. "I notice that investments in the terrace are generating bigger revenues," says Tapasbar de Markt in Breda. "So does the effect of the Sit & Heat cushions." The investment in Sit & Heat is recoverable on energy costs. In the long run, this makes for an extra gift at every end of the year! What will you invest in this year?
