Buffet Star was founded in the vibrant community of Redlands, California, with a mission to provide customers with an unparalleled dining experience centered around diverse culinary traditions. However, its patio suffered from extreme exposure to the sun, rain, and wind. To address this, we installed four 10-foot by 14-foot solar-powered aluminum awnings equipped with electric shutters and ceiling fans, transforming the patio into an all-weather dining area. Today, it has become a popular venue all year round.

Pain Points: No All-Weather Commercial Pergola for Outdoor Dining

  • Weather-Damaged Patio, Lost Restaurant Revenue

Extreme sun, rain, and wind disrupted outdoor dining, chasing guests indoors and cutting revenue. Without a commercial patio pergola, the patio was only usable on “nice weather” days.

  • Outdated Look Hurt Brand Appeal

The plain, unshaded patio clashed with Buffet Star’s modern hospitality brand, looking “unfinished” next to the sleek restaurant interior. A commercial pergola was needed to create a polished outdoor dining backdrop.

  • Uncomfortable Outdoor Dining

Without shade or airflow, the patio became a “heat trap” in summer, making guests uncomfortable. A commercial pergola with ceiling fans would solve this.

Solution: All-Weather Commercial Patio Pergola

  • Four-Season Commercial Pergola: Revenue-Driving Restaurant Patio

Our all-weather commercial patio pergolas shield the patio from sun, rain, and wind, turning it into a “four-season dining hub.” Now the patio is used daily, and revenue from outdoor dining has jumped.

  • Sleek Design Boosts Brand

The modern aluminum frame of our commercial restaurant pergola complements Buffet Star’s aesthetic, turning the patio into a “stylish extension” of the restaurant that enhances curb appeal.

  • Comfort & Quiet

Motorized louvers and ceiling fans create a “breeze zone” in our commercial patio pergola, promoting airflow and blocking harsh sun, making the patio the “place of choice” for guests.

"OUR PATIO WAS A WASTED SPOT—TOO HOT, TOO EXPOSED. THEN SOLA'S COMMERCIAL PATIO PERGOLA TURNED IT INTO OUR BUSIEST ZONE! SHADY, COMFY, AND EVEN USEABLE WHEN IT RAINS. GUESTS LOVE IT, PATIO BOOKINGS ARE FULL, AND REVENUE'S JUMPED."
