It’s time to get your cafe ready for summer. It’s now that you should be able to attract more business by offering passers-by and visitors to the area a reason to stop by your café.

First impressions count, so make sure it’s a good one! Ensure that your cafe looks as fresh, clean, and inviting from the outside as it does inside. Windows and paint should be clean and sparkling and wherever possible, try adding some colourful planters or foliage to create a welcoming ambience.

Create an inviting outdoor dining area

Now is the time, if you haven’t already done so, to freshen up your outdoor dining area and get your cafe ready for summer. Give everywhere a good sweep to clear away any debris and dust off your outdoor furniture.

If your furniture looks old and worn, then it’s likely to put off people from using your cafe. Consider investing in some colourful polypropylene chairs and some new tables if necessary. Polypropylene chairs are great for outdoor use and come in a wide variety of styles and colours. Better still, the chairs stack for convenient storage.

Here at Café Solutions, we stock a wide range of outdoor dining furniture to help you get your cafe ready for summer. one popular choice is our Parisian range which includes a variety of comfortable chairs and stools.
