OUTDOOR &

PATIO DINING TOOLKIT Innovative tools and resources to help you capture outdoor dining traffic today and as the seasons change.


Adversity came to town – COVID-19, and has made it essential that we convert our outdoor areas for additional capacity due to restrictions imposed. Using your outdoor space to create patio-style dining can be a great way to expand your services and get customers coming back to your restaurant. While outdoor seating has its considerations, not the least of which is weather, they can be overcome with some planning and creativity. Al fresco tables will help you recapture some or all of your lost dine-in capacity.

There is no doubt that outdoor dining adds value to your operation and can boost revenue by increasing your seating capacity, with the potential to become a long-lasting flagship service. From the onset, be sure to check with your local jurisdictions to understand the rules and guidelines in your area, ensuring you are working within the regulations. Early planning and preparation is key to being among the first to open – and stay open throughout the seasons – making your outdoor tables the most sought-after seats in your area!

Sysco understands that this pandemic has caused havoc on the foodservice industry and to combat that we have thoughtfully put together the following recommendations and resources to help you set up your outdoor and patio dining experience. We always encourage you to put the safety and comfort of your guests and employees first.

Please review federal, state and local regulations to ensure your compliance w ith the law . For safety and sanitation, stay up to date and check the latest information on CDC.gov. Consult your legal advisors regarding any risks associated with starting a new venture or implementing any recommendations.

OUTDOOR & PATIO DINING TOOLKIT


For restaurant owners, the question of how to increase traffic in today's environment is a big one. In addition to offering dine-in service, curbside and take out, extending your footprint is critical given current restrictions on capacity. A great option is to consider what is right outside your door. Eating outside (aka “dining al fresco”) is one of the simplest experiences you can create. With some key strategies, it’s possible to create a comfortable patio setting that diners will enjoy all year long – with or without cooperation from Mother Nature.

Strategize the space you have available. If you own your restaurant property and it includes a private patio or other under-utilized space, there are great options for expanding to include outdoor seating. Consider a side lot or back courtyard for additional seating as well. Do you have a rooftop, backyard-style area, or garden where fresh ingredients are grown daily? These are perfect areas to offer additional seating. Sidewalk seating is a great option, but in many cases requires a permit. Tent/Canopy seating can be a great alternative the approval process to put up a tent can be faster than building additional patio space. TIP: Consider the street and foot traffic before opting for a sidewalk expansion. All it takes is a passer by with a cigar or a vehicle with heavy exhaust to impact a fine dining experience.

Understand your local ordinances and guidelines. Determine if you will need any permits and confirm your local regulations before setting up a dining space on the sidewalk adjacent to your restaurant. For example, you may need a sidewalk dining facility permit, especially if you serve alcohol. (Note, many cities are waving the permit given the current COVID environment.) Outdoor food preparation, cooking, or expanding your bar may also require a permit. TIP: Many state agencies have faster licensing for outdoor capacity – they are expediting the process.

Here are some ways cities are adapting to aid their local businesses in their reopening efforts, while keeping customers 6 feet apart: • Expediting or waiving outdoor dining permits and sidewalk licensing fees. • Allowing businesses to convert parking lots, full sidewalks, and even streets into dining spaces so tables can be spaced 6 feet apart. • Closing streets to vehicle traffic so pedestrians have more walking space away from outdoor dining patios. • Relaxing liquor laws and allowing for alcohol to be served and consumed beyond a business’ property line. • Allowing for tents and canopies to be set up in parking lots and over sidewalk spaces.

• Allowing for barriers to be added to separate diners from pedestrians.

Design an outdoor dining layout. To get started, consider everything you want to include before you begin buying furniture or other equipment. Here are a few key questions to ask… • Will the space be used strictly for dining? • Will it be an interactive space? • Will you transform it to include a cozy lounge with firepit and couches? • Will you have live entertainment?

TIP: Adding atmospheric elements to your patio area reduces the amount of people you can seat. However, a smaller seating section also creates exclusivity. This can build demand and excite guests looking to enjoy the outdoors.

Consider the ambiance. When designing your outdoor space don’t leave out the ambiance. You may consider adding a firepit or outdoor fireplace – just a little something to enhance your customers’ experience, drawing them back again and again. Lighting is also very important. Hanging string lights or other lighting such as candles, lanterns, and torches adds a warm glow. If space allows, features such as a fountain or even something as simple as pots of flowers are a nice touch. The idea is to get creative with your space, making it unique and fun for your customers, a place that feels like home.

Prepare for all seasons and weather conditions. Nowhere is immune to inclement weather. Consider these tips to prepare and maintain your patio for weather that may not be conducive to outdoor dining: • Wipe down tables and chairs right after a rainstorm. • Install patio heaters for chilly summer nights or to extend your outdoor dining season into cooler weather months. • Offer plenty of shade by using umbrellas, awnings or deck covers. • Utilize fans along the roof lines to circulate airflow and keep your customers cool. • Implement an evacuation plan in case of dangerous or extreme weather.

Protect against unwanted pests. Just like weather, pests are inevitable. It’s important to give careful consideration to prevent, prepare, and react quickly to avoid dangerous or unsanitary situations. Bugs are attracted to sugars and sweets, which can make your outdoor bar a key target for these pests. These steps will help to you manage uninvited “guests”: • Stay diligent with your cleaning routine when it comes to spilled drinks or food. • Store fresh fruit in containers with secure lids and keep juices covered when possible. • Utilize proper bug zappers or sprays to rid your patio of bees, wasps, mosquitoes, and flies. • Clear away food as quickly as possible, as critters are attracted to the smell of food. • Sweep the floors often. • If pests become a problem, call a professional control company to discuss your options.

Safety and sanitation is still required. While COVID-19 is still a threat, here are some ways you can keep your customers and staff safe while they are dining in your outdoor and patio areas: • Position tables 6 feet apart. • Have clear walkways to the restroom and throughout the restaurant to allow for social distancing. • Provide your staff with PPE supplies. • Stock up on Sysco supplies to keep your space clean and staff protected. • Use contactless or disposable menus. • Require guests to wear their masks while walking around the restaurant. • Sanitize tables and chairs between each guest seating. TIP: Always refer to the CDC guidelines and your local Restaurant Association guidelines for current safety procedures and standards.

These essential COVID-19 images are available as posters and floor decals to communicate to your customers that their safety is your top priority.

Plan sufficient staffing and efficient workflow. While capacity may be limited, adding more seating creates more work for your staff. Consider hiring additional help, such as local college students, as a backup option for busy weekends, holidays, and seasons. Your staff, operational flow, and technology depend on the decisions you make and a key to your success. Here are several considerations:

Workload distribution Determine how you will assign your staff, both inside and outside.

Menu ordering Determine the menu ordering options best suited for your operation and customers – including contactless solutions such as QR codes for online viewing, tablet BYOD (bring-your-own-device) for online ordering, or have table side waiters wearing masks.

Wait times Consider putting a time limit on your outdoor dining area, such as 1½ hrs, to minimize wait times and maximize seating capacity.

Takeout window Most likely your menu items are prepared inside and by creating a takeout window, you can expedite orders quickly and conveniently for your servers. Receiving a tray of food at a window may be more convenient and will cut down on traffic through the entrance door.

As customers are eager to get back to your restaurant, your outdoor dining may be a hot commodity as guests feel safer eating outdoors. With limited capacity permitted inside, you may need to utilize a 3rd party reservation system or implement your own reservation process to coordinate your seating areas. Here are few options for 3rd party reservation systems:

People are more relaxed in an outdoor setting and picking the perfect furniture for their comfort matters. Waterproof and easy to move or stack is recommended, but above all, outdoor restaurant furniture needs to be both functional and comfortable. Consider seating configurations that allow for limited group dining as well as flexibility for different occasions or special events. Coordinating your outdoor style with your interior will provide a seamless transition for your guests and encourage them to dine al fresco!

A way to make first and lasting impressions is to ensure you have the proper signage. After all, your success is all about your branding and marketing, right? This includes giving attention to your curb appeal, brand recognition through signage, and the ability to stand out from every other restaurant in your area.

TIP: Good outdoor lighting also means well-lit signage where people can read and remember your restaurant’s name while driving or walking by.

For the unforeseen future, we will need to continue to exercise social distancing of at least 6’ between us in all environments. Most restaurants are operating at or below 50% to maintain the required social distancing guidelines. Be sure to check your local guidelines, depending on where you are located there may be different restrictions. As a general rule, continue to check local and national guidelines to ensure you are aware of any new practices at all times. In addition to masks and sanitation, there is also a second tier of equipment you may need to consider. Check out the products below.

Creating an appropriate dress code for your employees is important, especially those working outdoors. Your staff works in different environments – some spend most of their time in the kitchen where the temperature tends to be extremely hot, while others work in coolers or outdoors. The right uniforms not only ensure your team is easily recognizable, but also keep everyone safe and comfortable while they are working. If you are trying to figure out how to find the right clothing and gear for your restaurant staff, below are a few suggestions:

TIP: Encourage your staff to dress in layers is the best way to ensure safety and comfort in all environments. Moisture-wicking t-shirts work well as base layers. They pull perspiration away from the skin to help workers stay dry and comfortable in hot environments.

When it comes to your outdoor dining you have many options for your menu. You can certainly keep your menu from your indoor menu and extend it to the outdoor setting. Most important is to ensure you have the most profitable items especially now more than ever given the limited capacity. Another option is to create a unique attraction by offering your customers something special that they can’t get inside your restaurant. Your seating arrangements will dictate the menu you do offer. For instance if you have table and chairs this is conducive to your full menu if you have lounge seating, you may need to have small plates. In addition to considering your seating outside, we are nearly the cooler months so you may want to offer heartier meals, soups, chili and stews. Whether a full menu or small plates, Sysco has put together some thought starters for you to consider:

Serving guests while maintaining social distancing can be a challenge. In most areas of the country, indoor capacity limitations are in place, making it difficult to accommodate all guests – so bring the fun and creativity outdoors, with small bites that enhance the dining experience, while helping guests maintain social distancing. Here are ideas on small bites to offer:

Cheese-centric appetizers are menu mainstays that have a widespread appeal. Made with a blend of pimento cheese and red bell peppers and lightly breaded in a cracker crumb coating, Sysco Imperial Pimento Cheese Bites offer a unique twist on a Southern favorite that maximizes menu versatility. The flavor profile and size of these mouthwatering cheesy bites bring excitement to a variety of applications and occasions such as appetizers, shareable plates, toppers, and late-night snacks.

Customers love to experience the world through food! Serve ethnic flavors inspired by Asian cuisine with Sysco Classic Asian-Style Chicken Bites. A take on traditional Japanese fried chicken, these tender, juicy bites are made from No Antibiotics Ever chicken and marinated in a savory soy-ginger brine with a golden crispy coating. The freezer to fryer format allows operators to save time in the kitchen and increase profitability with a readyto-prepare product that is a versatile base for delicious sauce pairings.

Now that you have thought through your outdoor dining experience, it’s time to spread the word about your new space, safety/comfort measures, and patio menu you have put in place. Sysco Marketing Concierge offers strategies and customized marketing pieces designed to help you communicate your message.

Menu Strategize your menu to feature those items with higher profit margins and shorter prep times. Consider implementing an LTO menu or patio-friendly menu, featuring appetizers, small bite offerings, and specialty drinks. Review the 4Ps of menu engineering to boost your profitability!

Spread the Word Many guests are excited to dine out again, but it’s important they know their favorite place is open and has outdoor dining available. To get the word out, post photos of your new space and menu on all your social media channels. Also, update your google/yelp business listing, as well as Open Table gallery, to showcase to your customers the new experience they can expect.

➢ Communicate frequently. ➢ Update with operational changes or safety standards you have implemented. ➢ Provide information how customers can order – including 3rd party marketplaces. ➢ Share your outdoor dining menu. ➢ Market promotions you may be offering.

Signage Have visible signage at all times. Consider patio easels, sidewalk signs, and banners – make sure your signage can be spotted by those walking or driving by.

Sysco Marketing Concierge is here to help you succeed!

Manage Your Menu Content • Focus on what you do best – provide a consistent, quality product that your customers can count on. • Evaluate and update your menu considering the 4P’s of Menu Engineering:

PROFITABILITY • Review current item costs and make pricing adjustments based on current market conditions. • Identify areas where you can switch out ingredients to enhance profitability without compromising quality.

POPULARITY • Feature your signature items – what are you famous for? • Review past history or competitive analysis for key offerings.

PREPARATION • Select items that require limited preparation and assembly. • Cross-train your kitchen staff for maximum efficiency. • Review and reduce your inventory to minimize stand-alone items and excess stock.

PORTABILITY • Ensure your items package and travel well – maintaining their quality and freshness. • Invest in the proper carryout containers to maintain temperature and presentation to most closely mirror dine-in experience.

As you plan your business and strategize services, you will need to rethink and reengineer your menu to meet the new expectations of your customers.

Streamline Your Business • Limit your menu offerings for maximum efficiency, and profitability, while focusing on strategically planned LTO’s to drive business.

• Adjust your staffing needs to accommodate your reduced dining room capacity, limited menu, and available services. • Continue to offer carry-out, curbside pickup, and delivery, along with other enhanced services, such as meal kits, take & bake, and specialty items. • Create an on-site pop up shop or virtual “marketplace” to sell your signature items and pantry essentials.

Rethink Your Menu Format • Understand your customer. They will be looking to see the steps you’re taking to ensure their safety and comfort – and this includes your menu format.

• Consider changing to a single sheet disposable paper menu, menu board, or digital display for best safety and sanitation practices. • For dine-in service, introduce or enhance online ordering and payment options from the table.

• Offer your menu online and viewable via your customer’s smart phone or tablet using a QR Code for contactless ordering.

TIP: Single-use, easily sanitized, digital display or contactless menus are recommended (or may be required) and serve as a clear indication of your commitment to safety and sanitation.

26

OUTDOOR & PATIO DINING TOOLKIT


Utilize QR Codes Your customers are looking for a convenient and safe way to view and order from your menu when dining. To meet these expectations, and as an alternative to disposable menus, you may want to offer your menu online and viewable to your customers from their smart phone or tablet. This can be done quickly and easily by using a QR code.

QR codes link customers to your: • • • • •

Contactless menu Online ordering for dine-in, patio, and takeout Website, social media, and image gallery LTO’s, special features, and promotions Virtual “marketplace” to sell signature items, family-style bundles, and take & bake meal kits
