The Letter!
Throughout the globe, smokers and their arch enemies, non-smokers have
combated over who has the rights to air space. Smoking bans, due to the
rise of ant-smokers have flourished through the world. Countries, states
and cities have devised their own modeling approach on how to circumvent
the regulations on who can smoke and when with the greatest smoking bans
being put on restaurants, bars, café’s the like. Smoking bans have
changed the way food service establishments and alcohol serving
businesses are able to satisfy their bottom line, daily gross of sales.
Even though, as many would confess, eating a fine meal and having a puff
of smoke linger through the air definitely changes the way food tastes.
Clothes are every much affected as well from the second hand smoke that
is sent out by smokers. Second hand smoke has been defined as one of the
greatest sins in a smoker’s world. Affecting others ability to have a
clean smoke free air space probably is the number one reason that so
many people have drawn so close to supporting the smoking bans going on
everywhere. While many smoking ban laws are curving the ability of
hospitality businesses income potential, many restaurants, bars, cafes’
the like have used their outdoor patios as their accepted smoking space.
In most cases, this is legal and without penalty. Each governing body
has their own rules and regulations which you, as the restaurateur would
need to verify.
Roll-A-Cover, Intl, which doesn’t advocate smoking by no means, does
support businesses rights to options. While many businesses are
expanding their outdoor areas into enjoyable open air space, many of
them are forced to have expensive canvas or awnings installed as a roof
top covering from the unwanted elements. This has been the only
alternative that outdoors patio’s or patio enclosure spaces have had
available. But, in today’s market, a industry leader has developed the
original retractable sunroom product. While awnings and tents are very
usable, they offer a solid and permanent overhead covering, which by
most smoking ban laws, would be fineable as a smoking room. No overhead
covering while someone is smoking is the general rule of thumb. These
tents and awning style enclosures with flimsy plastic walls are as
illegal in most anti-smoking establishments as the inside of these
establishments’ main areas. Roll-A-Cover has developed a product that
not only provides structural strength during high winds and heavy loads
of snow but when the weather is fine with a simple roll of the enclosure
sections, the retractable sunroom system becomes a outdoors space. With
the roof rolling with the walls as a telescopic enclosure product, our
enclosures warrant, in most cases the ability of smokers to enjoy their
habits in an area that is often acceptable to all, the great outdoors.
Many patio enclosure type products and sunrooms that are fixed glass
enclosures are no different than being inside of a conventionally built
structure,. On top of that, sunrooms, whether known as a four seasons
concept versus a 3 seasons product is also classified as a hot box where
air-conditioning costs are often the root to a loss of profits or a drop
of the bottom line in businesses. With our trackless retractable
telescopic enclosures, your ability to be outdoors and have a comfort
level equal to the outdoor air space is second to non in the sunroom
industry. Smoking bans all over the world have changed businesses
income levels and fan fair, but with retractable sunroom by
Roll-A-Cover, your options for added successes and an increase in
clientele may be the remedy to a pain that has altered your growth.
As we all attempt to grow with the times, we often are hit with a curve
ball that makes us re-evaluate our business profiles. Outdoor patios
have become an income generating machine for many hospitality businesses
alike, so maybe its time that you consider changing the way you’re
restaurant or bar business is designed and consider being the “new guy
on the block”. Its always time to change and Roll-A-Cover will be there
with you growing with a change of design which will give you and your
guests, “a breath of fresh air”.
