Considering a New Restaurant Awning?

Your customers come to your restaurant for fantastic food and delicious dinners, but they become repeat diners from enjoying its ambiance.  One of the first things they will likely encounter is the awning on the exterior of your building.  Adding or replacing an awning on your restaurant’s facade is an investment with many benefits.  Of course, awnings protect your customers from sun, rain, and snow.  However, they also complement your business’s brand and help customers quickly identify your location.  If you’re considering a new restaurant awning this year, here are some essential factors to evaluate.

Purpose

What is the primary reason you want to add an awning to your location?  For example, will it protect a front entranceway where customers congregate while waiting for a table?  Or will it create an additional outdoor seating area for dining in nice weather?  Another perfectly acceptable purpose is to add to the aesthetics of your building’s exterior and increase awareness of your restaurant in the neighborhood.  

Size

Once you understand the purpose of your awning, it’s time to figure out what size it should be.  The professionals at Deluxe Awning Company will work with you to assess the area and calculate specific measurements.  The perfect size will cover the area well and address elements like the impact of the setting sun, but not be so big as to be unwieldy or appear too large for the building.  

Design

Your awning must match the exterior style of your building, including other structures on your street or within your business area.  An awning’s fabric can be made from just about any color, so it’s easy to enhance the architectural elements and simultaneously complement your company’s branding.  Of course, you can also have your custom logo printed on the fabric so customers can easily identify your restaurant.

Reliability

You are investing in your business and want your investment to last for a while.  Choosing a high-quality awning with durable construction will make your dollars stretch farther.  Be sure to check the reviews of awning construction specialists and choose a company with a good reputation.

Maintenance

Since awnings are exposed to the elements, they must be easy to clean and maintain.  Look for awnings constructed of a material that will resist fading and corrosion and is durable enough to wash with simple soap and water.
