Three restaurants recently received an exciting innovation to their outdoor seating area! Knutsen Outdoor installed luxury StruXure pergolas at Duke’s Riverside, Dockside Willies and Tequila Willies. These projects were completed in June of 2024.
The local eateries boast sweeping views of the Susquehanna River that customers can enjoy while they dine, and StruXure pergolas, with their louvered, automated tops, will enhance the experience for patrons.
The louvered roof of a StruXure pergola X can be configured to match the weather – it can open to allow sunshine to stream in and warm diners, or in the event of an unexpected rainstorm, it can close to protect patrons and allow them to continue enjoying their meal and their view in dry comfort. The completed StruXure project adds major benefits to the outdoor seating season. During days with inclement weather where a shower might have closed the outdoor area, the restaurants can keep the space open, utilizing those outdoor tables and continuing to maximize their revenue. Comfortable seating providing shade or protection from inclement weather can easily double the season which means increased revenue! In addition to the “nice weather” season, the “off” season doesn’t need to be so off anymore if you add some screens and heaters!
StruXure smart pergolas are an excellent addition to any outdoor commercial space. Not only does it create a sleek and comfortable atmosphere for patrons, but it also expands the possibilities for the uses of those outdoor spaces which are otherwise dictated by the weather.
Particularly for restaurants, capitalizing on the amount of usable space can directly increase revenue. For instance, if an outdoor patio with 8 tables normally brings in a net revenue of $1,440 a day when occupied, a passing shower or a hot sunny day may force the establishment to close the patio and miss out on over a thousand dollars, whereas with a StruXure pergola, the roof can be securely closed, patrons can be protected from inclement weather, and ultimately no income is forfeited. Not only is this beneficial for commercial spaces, but it also increases the likelihood of paying down the cost of installing the StruXure pergola far sooner!
Smart Motorized pergolas can be game changers and thanks to their state-of-the-art design and options for customization, they are an excellent addition to any business with regularly utilized outdoor space. Smart pergolas help you redefine your outdoor area and unlock your space’s true potential.
