Custom Outdoor Dining Tents for Restaurants

Outdoor dining is here to stay and is expected to grow. Initially fueled by the pandemic and requirements for social distancing, diners have more options than they ever had before to enjoy their meal alfresco.

That means restaurant owners need to be equipped with the proper infrastructure, from custom pop-up tents to semi-permanent frame tents, to accommodate a growing number of diners who prefer eating outdoors but still require protection from the elements.

Semi-Permanent Outdoor Restaurant Tents

Available in square and rectangular footprints, ranging from 10x10 to 50x50, TentCraft’s lineup of custom frame tents is designed for restaurants looking for a semi-permanent structure that can stay up for weeks and even months at a time. Custom printing on the tent panels and add-on walls can extend the branding and vibe of your restaurant’s interior to the great outdoors. Learn more about frames tents.

Pop Up Restaurant Tents

A custom pop-up tent is a versatile solution for a restaurant because it can deploy quickly for outdoor seating, and also be taken on the road at special events, allowing a restaurant to expand its reach in a community. TentCraft offers pop-up tents in two main trims: medium-duty (mightyTENT) and heavy-duty (MONARCHTENT).

Learn the differences between mightyTENT and MONARCHTENT.

FAQs

  • Why invest in a restaurant tent?

  • Restaurant owners not only invest in custom tents to expand their brick-and-mortar footprint to accommodate more patrons but also to make pop-up appearances at special events.

  • Are your tents wind rated?

  • All of our semi-permanent frame tents and our heavy-duty pop-up tents come with certified wind ratings by an actual third-party engineering firm. Learn more about pop-up tent wind ratings.

  • How much do TentCraft tents cost?

  • That's a great question, but never an easy one to answer. That's because several factors — from size to design to printing to add-on accessories — impact the final price of your custom tent. You should be comfortable investing at least $1,500 into a custom tent that lasts a really long time. If not, we may not be a good fit.

    By investing in quality upfront, you can make your budgets more predictable down the road. Learn more about our costs, here.

  • Does TentCraft manufacture restaurant tents in custom sizes?

  • TentCraft manufactures restaurant tents in dozens of different sizes. If you have a specific size request, send our team a note to see if your design and footprint is possible.

  • Should I leave my tent up for extended periods of time?

  • No. Pop-up tents are built to be temporary and taken down after each use. Taking down your tent will ensure the longevity of your tent.
