In the competitive world of hospitality, expanding seating without expanding your footprint is gold. A smart pergola from Knutsen Outdoor allow restaurants to maximize outdoor dining space all year long. Rain, snow, or intense sun? No problem. These fully waterproof pergolas from Outdoor Elements come with integrated gutters and require very little maintenance—meaning you can focus on guests, not gear.
The beauty of smart pergolas is in their flexibility. Controlled via smartphone, the adjustable louvers let you shift between sun-drenched brunches and cool, shaded dinners with the tap of a finger. Plus, with available lighting, heaters, and sound systems, your patio becomes an all-weather extension of your brand—not just a summer-only feature.
According to the National Restaurant Association, outdoor dining boosts restaurant revenue by up to 30% in peak season (NRA, 2022). With a smart pergola, you can extend that “peak” year-round, offering more tables, hosting private events, or simply improving the guest experience.
These structures also provide a visual upgrade. Available in multiple colors and customizable finishes, smart pergolas can complement your architecture seamlessly—whether you’re a rustic bistro or a sleek urban eatery. And since they’re built to last with low-maintenance materials, they’re a smart investment that pays for itself quickly.
For restaurateurs looking to grow without relocating, a smart pergola is a recipe for more covers, more ambiance, and more profit.
