Spring is here – and that can only mean one thing: busy terraces and rising demand for seating. For hospitality businesses, it’s the perfect time to stand out, while managing space, service and guest experience in a smart way. With Peleman, you can maximise your capacity with simple solutions you might not have considered yet – but that make a real difference to your customers.
Reserved?
As soon as the sun comes out, tables fill up fast. Everyone’s after that perfect spot in the sun – or that one table in the shade. But what about your regulars? Or larger groups that need to be seated together? On busy days, things can quickly get chaotic.
That’s where a simple but highly effective tool comes in: reservation signs. Customise your reservation signs to reflect the style of your venue, matching your menus and other Peleman table accessories. With the right preparation and a clear system, you can organise your terrace efficiently, keep control of your seating and maximise occupancy – all without compromising on service.
Make more of your menu
When people are unsure, they’ll often default to water, cola or iced tea. But that’s exactly where the opportunity lies. A well-designed, physical menu draws attention away from phones and brings guests back into the moment.
It encourages them to browse, talk and engage with what’s on offer. And that’s where you can guide their choices. A refreshing homemade lemonade, for example – low cost to make, but highly appealing – suddenly becomes an easy and attractive option.
By presenting your offer in the right way, you subtly influence what people order – and increase your revenue without extra effort.
Details that encourage extra orders
A clean, well-presented table makes all the difference. No one wants to sit at a sticky surface or one marked with rings from previous guests. Cardboard coasters might be convenient, but they quickly look worn and unhygienic.
Peleman’s coasters offer a durable alternative. Made from the same material as the menus and reservation signs, they’re washable, sturdy, built to last and designed to match perfectly.
Because when every detail is right, guests are more likely to stay longer – and order more.
