Retractable Awnings Enable Restaurants To Add Profitable Outdoor Space

Jan. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- SAN FRANCISCO, CA, January 20, 2010/Press Release – Retractable awnings provide the perfect solution to marry the increasing desire for diners to eat outdoors and restaurant owners desire to maximize profitable service area.
For decades, Markilux retractable awnings have been Europe’s leader in deploying commercial shade solutions, including restaurants. The classic European outdoor café benefits from stylish awnings that create the ideal ambience to enjoy an outdoor meal. Increasingly, American restaurants are discovering that retractable awnings offer the perfect blend of elegant design and functional performance to turn unused space into a profitable special feature of the restaurant.
Restaurant owners have found that utilizing a sidewalk area or courtyard for foodservice can be highly profitable. Retractable awnings offer numerous advantages over tables with umbrellas:
•   Use no floor space, allowing more table space
•   Superior shade and rain protection
•   Motorized and sensor-controlled for convenience and efficiency
•   Integrated lighting and heating to maximize comfort
•   Enhanced visual appeal
Markilux markets the industry’s largest range of retractable awnings and canopies, including full-cassette awnings that disappear entirely inside a sleek cassette. The cassettes come in hundreds of colors to blend in any décor and over 200 high-tech awning fabrics are offered, including the remarkable Sunsilk Nano-Clean awning fabric.
Markilux awnings are German-engineered to provide years of optimal performance. Coordinated side awnings are available for privacy and special shade requirements. Markilux also offers a range of free-standing awnings that can provide automated shade over extended areas.
