Using Patio Heaters At Restaurants

If you’re anything like most restaurant owners or managers who offer seasonal patio seating, you’ve probably experienced that sinking feeling when it’s time to pack away the outdoor furniture and close off the patio for the colder months. It’s inevitable that your daily revenue will take a hit once the patio closes, and you might even find yourself needing to cut back on staff due to losing a popular seating area. However, investing in the right patio heater can help you keep your patio open to guests, your employees busy, and your cash registers ringing.

Even if you’re not planning to keep your outdoor seating area open year-round, there may still be occasions where you’d want to make it available to customers. For instance, a loyal group of patrons may wish to reserve your patio for a New Year’s Eve celebration, or perhaps you’d like to have it open for a bustling happy hour crowd on Friday evenings. Whatever the occasion, there’s a patio heater designed to meet your specific needs and those of your clientele. At AEI Corporation, we’re dedicated to equipping your business with the tools necessary to provide guests with a memorable outdoor experience by keeping them warm and comfortable while enjoying your hospitality. Here’s what we have to offer:

Ambiance Heaters

There’s something magical about fire that transforms even the dullest events into unforgettable moments. The Ambiance Heater brings the enchanting allure of fire to your outdoor space without the logistical challenges associated with traditional fireplaces. Its controlled gas flame glows brightly and cleanly, eliminating the need for wood or additional fuel, while its built-in safety features ensure the utmost protection for both guests and staff. The sleek, modern design of the Ambiance Heater allows the captivating flame to be the highlight of the evening. This heater is also a perfect choice for couples looking for a unique setting for a romantic dinner—what could be more intimate than sipping wine and dining under the glow of a warm flame against a backdrop of starry skies or falling snow?

Infratech Heaters

The Infratech Heater offers an ideal solution when you desire an outdoor heat source that is felt but not seen or heard. You’ll receive radiant warmth, maximum energy efficiency, and a low-profile design that seamlessly integrates into the aesthetic of your space. Infrared heaters come in various models tailored to suit the distinct needs of outdoor areas found in restaurants, pubs, resorts, hotels, and other hospitality venues.

Sunglo Heaters

AEI’s longstanding reputation as a pioneer in outdoor heating solutions began with the Sunglo Heater back in 1967. With four basic models to choose from, you can select the option that best fits your requirements. For smaller patio spaces, a suspended heater that hangs from the ceiling can maximize valuable floor space. If you’re heating an uncovered outdoor area, a Sunglo system mounted on a permanent post offers manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic ignition options.
