Outdoor dining areas have been a popular solution to dining out safely this year. In addition to providing fresh air, these areas have made it easier for restaurants to comply with social distancing and maximum capacity restrictions. And as the weather continues to transition into cooler temperatures, these outdoor options remain a popular choice for both restaurants and customers. For restaurants with outdoor dining areas, this means it's time to add portable patio heaters to the outdoor seating arrangements. Patio heaters are not only a great solution to warding off the chill of a nice fall evening, but it also encourages customers to continue to take advantage of outdoor dining for a few more weeks.
Available as either propane or natural gas units, most patio heaters have an electric ignition and an adjustable heat output, giving users the ability to control the flame inside the heater. Two top manufacturers, Eastern Tabletop and Crown Verity, offer patio heaters in a variety of styles and finishes, allowing restaurants to choose the heater that best matches their aesthetic. Built to withstand the elements, these heaters also come with wheels to make moving them around outdoor spaces easier. Placing patio heaters strategically between tables and around the perimeter of an outdoor dining area will ensure that customers stay comfortable without having to give up dining in the fresh air.
