As warm weather approaches, many operators start thinking about
al fresco dining—and so do many customers. From a beautifully landscaped private garden, patio or open-air balcony to an impromptu sidewalk café, outdoor dining spaces represent an opportunity for added seats and sales, and will help set you apart from the competition.
Here are some tips for making
al fresco dining more profitable:
 • Schedule staff with the weather in mind, so you don’t get caught short-handed; have people on call if necessary
• Make it easy for servers to do a great job on the patio or deck; stock an outdoor service stand with pitchers of water and other beverages, glasses, menus, table settings, condiments, and other tools of the trade
• Outfit self-service areas with ample trash bins and stands for returning trays, glassware and other nondisposables
• Consider extending the season and appeal with market umbrellas, awnings, enclosures and/or space heaters and lights
• Remember that patios and gardens are great settings for large parties and special events
Outdoor dining facilities are the ideal place for our sturdy new Outdoor Perfect Plastic Drinkware. For more information about Outdoor Perfect from Arcoroc, contact us directly at: sales@cardinalglass.com.

Foodservice operations are notoriously hard on glassware, making breakage an expensive fact of life—unless you’re using Outdoor Perfect, the new collection of SAN transparent plastic barware from Arcoroc.
Styrene-Acrylonite (SAN) barware is extremely durable, yet upscale and very much on-point with today’s beverage trends. The full line of Outdoor Perfect drinkware includes wine glasses, hurricanes, pitchers and pilsners, all created specially for spa and patio dining and poolside service. Individual pieces can be used for hot or cold beverages, or for appetizers and desserts including seafood cocktails, mousse and the like.
 Made from environmentally friendly recyclable material, Outdoor Perfect offers great impact and heat resistance, minimizing breakage and offering durability and clarity through up to 2,000 industrial dishwasher cycles. Unique channels in the sham prevent water from being retained during washing.
Normally used for kitchen applications, SAN transparent plastic is less expensive than polycarbonate, and more resistant to scratching than acrylic, with up to 90% light reflection through the lifetime of the product.
Stable, safe and attractive, Outdoor Perfect is the ideal choice for any outdoor service setting.

Tips & Tactics
Better by the Pitcher
Outdoor dining is the perfect spot for merchandising pitchers of beverages: refreshing lemonade or soda, iced tea, draft beer, colorful sangria, or festive cocktails like margaritas and mimosas. People love to share, and you'll build sales among value-conscious patrons who might otherwise stick with water. You can even turn a pitcher program into a signature - feature a flavored iced tea, seasonal microbrew or specialty cocktail like mango mojitos.
