For Restaurants, Hotels & Hospitality
Turn weather from a liability
into a revenue driver.
Every rained-out patio night costs you $3,000-$10,000 in lost covers. Every blazing hot afternoon drives guests inside—or to your competitor with the shaded patio.
We build outdoor infrastructure that pays for itself in one season.
The real cost of unprotected outdoor space
42 days of rain
That's the Chicago-area average. Each rainy evening costs $3-10K in lost revenue. That's $150K+ per year.
8 weeks of heat
July and August afternoons drive guests inside. Your premium patio seats sit empty. Revenue walks next door.
Shortened season
Without protection, your patio is profitable May-September. With it? April-November. That's 10 extra weeks of revenue.
All-weather infrastructure that prints money.
Our commercial systems are engineered for high-cycle usage, extreme weather, and decades of reliable operation. This isn't residential equipment—it's commercial infrastructure.

Commercial FAQ
How quickly can you install?
Most commercial projects install in 3-5 days. We can work around your operating hours—early mornings, late nights, or closed days.
Do I need city permits?
Usually yes. We handle the entire permit process, including any engineering requirements. This is typically 2-4 weeks depending on your municipality.
What's the maintenance requirement?
Annual service visit recommended. We clean, lubricate, and inspect all components. Most operators never think about the system between services.
Can this integrate with our existing structure?
Almost always. We've attached to historic buildings, modern steel, wood pergolas, and freestanding structures. Site assessment will confirm feasibility.
What if something breaks during service?
Commercial clients receive priority support. We stock common parts locally, and most issues are resolved within 24-48 hours to minimize any impact on your seating.
