Stop Letting Your Patio Go to Waste This Winter
It’s a common headache for restaurant owners: you’ve got a great outdoor space, but as soon as the temperature drops, those tables just sit there. Empty. We fix that with waterproof infrared heaters. The trick is that we don’t waste energy trying to heat the outdoors—which is basically impossible. Instead, we send the heat straight to your guests. How it actually works Think of it like the sun. You know how you can feel the warmth on your skin even if there’s a cold breeze blowing? That’s exactly what these heaters do. They use short-wave radiation to warm up people and furniture, not the air. Since the heat doesn’t just float away with the wind, it actually works. And because they’re built with waterproof housings, you don’t have to panic when it starts raining or snowing. They just keep running. The nitty-gritty on setup These are built for the chaos of a busy restaurant. You can tuck the wiring right into the table base or hang them from above. The best part? They heat up almost instantly. Your staff can flick them on the second a party sits down and turn them off the moment they leave. No more paying to heat an empty patio. But a quick heads-up:**watch your power.**These things pull a lot of current. If you try to plug ten of them into one circuit, you’re going to trip the breaker and end up with a lot of very cold, unhappy customers. We usually suggest a dedicated line for every four to six tables just to be safe. The bottom line for your business Let’s be honest: cold people leave. They eat their main course and bolt. When your guests feel cozy—around 22-25°C—they linger. They stay for that extra round of drinks or the dessert menu. Plus, you can actually keep your outdoor area open for bookings all year round. One thing to keep in mind: this heat is very directional. If a guest leans too far to the left or right, they’ll feel the chill again. To make this work, you have to center the heaters exactly over the table. Get the positioning right, and you’re golden.
