Are you risking income opportunity?
In many cases, businesses within the hospitality sector, rely on good weather to encourage footfall, utilising the venues outdoor space to accommodate their patrons, making the potential revenue, to be determined by the unpredictability of British weather, versus the maximum capacity of the venue.
Doing the numbers...
A reassuring way to minimise the risk against weather or capacity related, loss of potential income, is to extend the premises, adding functional space that can be utilised throughout the year. An economical way to achieve this is by utilising your existing outdoor space and applying a shade and shelter solution such as an enclosed Veranda. A standard enclosed Veranda cost £18350* creating 32 square meters of functional space. This space can be maximised for capacity, however taking into considering comfort and convenience, this easily house 4 tables for 4-6 patrons. With an average spend of £15-£20 per person based on the lower figures, this space can generate an additional £240 of potential income, with the space at capacity. Using this potential income figure and assuming capacity once a night for 6 months of the year, the potential income amounts to £43800**, thus turning a potential income into a business investment. It is certainly worth applying this theory to your individual business to see if you can earn more from your space.
Adding to the experience...
The hospitality industry is highly competitive, making the need for positive feedback and repeat custom, high on priority. Adding shade and/or shelter to your outdoor space, adds to the visitor’s experience, creating comfort in all weather conditions.
