Increase Your Restaurant Seating Capacity With MagnaTrack Screens

Do you own a restaurant? Are you a brand executive overseeing multiple locations? Do you manage a fine dining establishment, QSR, diner, or coffee shop?

You know that patrons expect a quality experience each time they walk through your doors.

The food and drink offerings will vary, and so will the prices, but people go out to eat for more than the menu. They are sharing their time, their stories, and their lives with colleagues, friends, and family.

Boise Blinds helps you make more of your outdoor seating area with custom MagnaTrack screens. Seating capacity depends on your layout, approved occupancy, and site conditions.

A Restaurant Experience Can Help Boost Sales

The act of breaking bread with others has represented a sign of peace and goodwill across many cultures.

Life’s milestones are often celebrated or honored with food: baby showers, graduations, weddings, holidays, promotions, and retirements.

Every moment matters.

Be there for people during their most memorable moments, adding joy to their occasion and creating an experience they will treasure for years to come.

Outdoor Dining Expands Your Footprint

Outdoor dining can expand a restaurant’s usable seating area, making better use of space that might otherwise sit empty.

The right layout depends on your service style, guest circulation, accessibility, and occupancy requirements. A commercial site visit helps Boise Blinds assess where screens could fit your existing outdoor area.

More usable tables can mean more opportunities to welcome diners, but seating, table turns, and financial results depend on your restaurant and its operation.

An outdoor dining space can help increase the capacity of an eatery by adding suitable seats — and create another setting for guests to enjoy.

Boise Blinds can help you choose a configuration for your restaurant’s setting. Weather, materials, heating, and ventilation affect how the space can be used. Screens do not create a permanently enclosed, fully sealed, or climate-controlled room.

Why Add Retractable Outdoor Screens to Your Restaurant?

  • Exterior Screens Help Extend Your Commercial Outdoor Space:
    Suitable applications include restaurant outdoor dining areas, hotels, resorts, and other hospitality settings.
  • Screens Can Help Extend Your Outdoor Dining Season:
    The right configuration can offer shade in warmer months and help retain warmth with appropriate heating and ventilation in cooler weather. Use depends on conditions; revenue and energy savings are not guaranteed.
  • Outdoor Screens Help Reduce UV Exposure:
    Selected mesh fabrics provide shade and reduce glare. Manufacturer-listed mesh selections block 70–99% of UV rays, depending on the fabric selected.
  • Exterior Screens Help Shield From Wind and Debris:
    Help reduce exposure to wind and windblown debris. Vinyl options provide additional shelter from rain; screens are not storm-proof or fully weather-sealed.
  • Screens Help Reduce Insect Intrusion:
    When suitable openings are screened and the system is lowered, screens can help limit insects entering the dining area. Gaps and access points affect results.

Not just any screen will do for your restaurant.

Patrons who choose to eat outside often want to enjoy the view. Retractable screens lift out of the way when conditions allow, opening the sightline to the scenery.

When screens are down, mesh options can soften views into the dining area while preserving outward visibility. Privacy varies with fabric openness and lighting; illuminated interiors may be visible after dark.

Screens should be attractive, with colors that complement the restaurant’s aesthetic and materials suited to the setting. Regular care helps preserve their appearance.

The right system offers:

  • Motorized screens for adapting the space as conditions change, within the system’s operating guidance.
  • Available remote controls for convenient operation with less disruption to guests.
  • Quality engineering designed for reliable performance.
  • Durable construction and a self-tensioning design that helps reduce common operational issues.
  • Screen and material options chosen for your restaurant’s comfort and operating needs.
