A really good outdoor dining experience is about more than just good food. Guests should feel comfortable, want to stay and enjoy the evening, even when the temperature drops. That's exactly what Restaurang Macellerian in Stockholm wanted to achieve. As a popular restaurant with high ambitions for both food and service, they wanted to create an outdoor dining experience where guests could stay long after the sun went down. The challenge was to find a heating solution that really worked and provided even and comfortable heat throughout the dining area. After advice from Infracenter, a solution was installed that was specifically dimensioned for the restaurant's outdoor dining experience.
Infracenter helped the restaurant choose the right solution
An outdoor dining area is one of the most challenging environments to heat. Wind, open spaces and varying weather mean that the wrong product or wrong placement quickly leads to a worse result. That's why Infracenter began by analyzing the restaurant's conditions before recommending the right effect and placement. Through careful planning, an even and comfortable heat was created where the guests actually sit. The result was an outdoor dining area that can be used for significantly more days and evenings each year, while giving the guests a significantly better experience.
When guests enjoy themselves, they stay longer
After installation, the restaurant quickly noticed the difference. The soft infrared heat meant that guests were happy to stay longer in the evenings instead of ending their visit when the temperature dropped. For a restaurant, this not only means happier guests, but also that the outdoor seating area becomes an even more important part of the business. A warm and inviting outdoor seating area simply creates better conditions for a successful evening.
"The best thing is that the guests get thirsty from the infrared heat and drink more"
Johanna at Macellerian describes the result in her own words: "Thank you Niklas for all your help! This turned out really well. The best thing is that the guests get thirsty from the infrared heat and drink more. Please come by one day - Macellerian is a super nice place!" This is Johanna's own experience after the installation and a quote that shows how big a difference a well-thought-out heating solution can make for a restaurant with high ambitions. For Infracenter, it is another example of how the right infrared heat can contribute to a better overall experience for both guests and restaurant owners.
An investment that is noticeable every night
When an outdoor seating area works really well, it becomes a natural gathering place even when the temperature drops. Guests don't have to freeze, the staff gets a better working environment and the restaurant can use more attractive seating for a larger part of the year. That's exactly the type of solutions Infracenter develops – where the right dimensions and the right products create a result that is noticeable from the first evening.
