Restaurants and Cafes: Providing a Pleasurable and Safe Outdoor Dining Experience Some establishments had been operating as take-out only, some were closed, but now that rules have evolved to include in-person dining, many restaurateurs have either moved forward or struggle with the perfect solutions or procedures to implement for employee and patron safety. We've seen everything from stuffed animals or mannequins, tents, plexiglass barriers, rbotic servers, empty tables, and other wacky ways that restaurants are enforcing social distancing. Functional, yes. A bit quirky, sometimes. The best long-term options, debatable.   Those in charge of restaurant operations may be deliberating with which direction to move in to ensure that they can abide by social-distancing measures, operate effectively, and sustain their business in the future. The big question looming for veateries is "what can we put in place to accommodate our patrons?"  Never before has there been a greater emphasis on alfresco dining. Those clamoring for the coveted outdoor seats during warm weather, now have even more competition from those seeking to dine out, as they are the only seats available. Restaurants, bars, and cafes may have untapped outdoor space, but the areas may not be conducive or aesthetic enough to support outdoor service or customer satisfaction. Patio covers or pergolas can be altered with shades and coverings, strung with lights, adorned with flowers, and even support fans. Call Us Today
