Are there many things more enjoyable in life than eating a delightful meal surrounded by gorgeous greenery? A cafe’s lush and vibrant aesthetic not only makes dining a more pleasurable experience but can also be one of its biggest drawcards. After all, a bare and barren outdoor seating area does nothing to inspire good times and great eating, so you want to give your clientele something beautiful to look at whilst they wait for their magic lattes!
Here, we will talk about why any cafe with an outdoor area needs planters full of beautifully vivid plant varieties:
They can bring in the customers
Having stunning pots and planters in your outdoor seating areas can be one of your clientele’s biggest drawcards. Many weekend gourmands do their cafe searching on Instagram before actually trying out the establishment itself. Therefore, having lush greenery is one of the best ways to attract diners through your social media channels.
Because, after all, wouldn’t you be more inclined to visit a cafe whose Instagram was full of vibrant photos as well as delicious eats? We know we would choose that over a grim cafe Gram any day of the week.
They reduce stress levels
People feel a lot more at ease around plants. In fact, plants are one of an introvert’s best friends when dining out, especially if they are feeling an unpleasant streak of social anxiety coming on at the table. These reduced anxiety levels create a much more relaxed atmosphere which is vital to people having a good time and enjoying their cafe experience.
Your customers will love sitting up against the lovely greenery whilst they dine on your delicious eats. They are part of what makes up an awesome dining experience and one that will bring in the customers on repeat.
Plants reduce noise
One of the main complaints diners have about cafes is that they are too noisy. We know that when we dine out the last thing we want is that constant chatter reverberating around us to the point we can’t even hear the person sitting to our side. Thankfully, plants are a dutiful employee in the way that they absorb soundwaves which, in turn, reduces the overall noise in an establishment.
This works with both indoor and outdoor greenery. If you haven’t had any pots or planters in your establishment before then why not give it a try? You might see the decibels dramatically drop to a much more comfortable level.
Your team will love them
And because people feel better around plants that means your business staff will, too. Happy staff are much more productive staff, so you might likely see a noticeable change in the way things operate once you install a series of pots inside and planters outside. It can be great for team morale, especially if you have staff who enjoy tending to plants themselves!
They can create more privacy
Many diners want to avoid passersby staring at them as they wolf down a halloumi bagel. Yes, cafe time is our time to indulge, to eat something a little more decadent than we deprive ourselves of during the week. This is often something that we don’t see the rest of the world to see us voraciously consuming.
Thankfully, planters exist to provide us with added privacy so we can enjoy our cheat day without our crushes walking past and seeing our faces covered in tomato relish.
