7 minute read | Grills
In the evolving landscape of the leisure industry, the economic upturn presents challenges and opportunities, with premier resorts competing for guest attention amidst a sea of options. In this competitive arena, distinguishing amenities have become paramount, and outdoor community grill areas are a standout feature for resorts in 2024. Today’s resort-goers, expect high-end amenities and are looking for unique experiences that allow them the comfort and joy of cooking their meals just the way they like. The trend towards incorporating commercial grills, especially those powered by clean-burning liquid propane or natural gas, has gained significant traction, transforming the culinary experience of vacationing into a delightful and memorable activity.
The Strategic Importance of Patio Grills for Resorts
For resort owners and managers, installing patio grills is a great way to enhance guest experience and drive future bookings. Reflecting on the past, the introduction of amenities like cable television once served as a competitive edge until it became an industry standard. Today, the absence of expected conveniences such as cable TV and complimentary Wi-Fi places any hospitality venue at a disadvantage. However, not all resorts possess the foresight or the space to leverage emerging trends effectively. Installing a high-quality commercial patio grill adds a unique layer to the guest experience, combining the thrill of outdoor activities with the intimacy and pleasure of meal preparation. This addition enriches the vacation experience, offering an element of surprise and exceeding guest expectations.
Ideal Locations for Outdoor Patio Grills
Resorts boast distinct layouts and settings, each designed to offer an unparalleled visitor experience. Adapting to the commercial grill trend requires a creative reimagining of space utilization:
- Gazebos: Transform underutilized outdoor areas into vibrant communal hubs by erecting a gazebo or pergola with a grill station inside. Providing shade or protection from the elements can entice guests to use your patio grills.
- Pool Areas: Amplify the leisurely poolside ambiance into an evening hotspot with a stainless steel grill on a grill island, allowing families to enjoy the pool without having to leave to BBQ their food.
- Outdoor Patios, Verandas, and Private Bungalows: A small cast aluminum patio grill can significantly enhance the sense of privacy and exclusivity, offering a personal touch to the private patio spaces of your lager suites.
- Recreational Areas: Incorporating a grill by your resort’s rec areas allows guests to enjoy grilled meals without the need to leave the fun, extending family time and engagement within the space. Recreational areas can include mini-golf, rock-climbing walls, dance floors, athletic courts, and much more.
- Common Areas: A resort can set itself above the competition by offering easy-to-use, high-quality natural gas or propane grills in any of their outdoor common areas, especially in areas with outdoor attractions.
Installing high-quality patio grills allows resorts to provide a memorable, value-added experience for their guests, setting them ahead in the competitive landscape.
