Obtain a permit (coupon) for a summer terrace 2024
Preparing a terrace for a cafe or restaurant for the summer season is not only an opportunity to attract more visitors in the warm season, but also a key aspect in creating the appearance of the institution, affecting its attractiveness and success. However, effective organization and operation of a summer venue requires compliance with certain rules and standards.
Let’s consider the main aspects of design and legal requirements to ensure safety, comfort and attractiveness for guests.
Types of summer playgrounds
Summer grounds for cafes and restaurants can be classified according to different criteria, each of them has its own characteristics:
- Open areas. The most common, where tables and chairs are placed on the terrace or in the open air. Umbrellas or canopies are used for protection from the sun.
- Partially open areas. These structures have a sloping roof and are connected to the main building of the institution. The design can be varied, but often corresponds to the style of the institution. Cloth curtains or roller blinds may be used to ensure guest comfort.
- Enclosed areas. These are temporary structures such as pavilions or tents that provide protection from weather conditions.
Legal requirements and permits
Before opening a summer playground, state requirements for obtaining the necessary permits should be followed. For example, an outdoor serving area may be prohibited when an establishment has a restaurant or cafeteria.
Under current law, there are some locations where the placement of a summer playground is prohibited, such as lawns, driveways, sidewalks, and other areas that may create an obstruction to pedestrians.
Preparation of the required documentation includes the following steps:
- Certificate of Site Designation.
- An expert opinion on compliance with fire codes.
- License for the sale of alcohol and tobacco products (if necessary).
- Act of registration of the capacity of the establishment.
- Agreements with utility service providers.
- Share participation agreement.
It should be noted that this is only a general list, and depending on the specific circumstances, other documents may be required.
