The Challenge
The owners of Poke & Yoh wanted to open an Island Café in the Regent Arcade Shopping Mall in Cheltenham, UK. The Hawaiian themed food bar was designed to create a sunny Polynesian atmosphere.
The kiosk was located within a much larger space; being an open-sided booth it needed a heating solution that would effectively focus the heat on the customers rather than warming the air which would quickly disperse into the larger/cooler area of the mall. Having a form of heating which would help create the required atmosphere was fundamental to delivering the desired customer experience.
Conscious of the need to keep overheads to a minimum, the owners were also looking for a heating system which was energy efficient to run and required no ongoing maintenance.
A form of heating was required to encourage the customers to linger to savour the exotic Hawaiian-inspired food and drink and enjoy the hospitality for which Poke & Yoh are renowned.
Ideally a solution that is efficient and with no ongoing maintenance.
Need a solution that focusses the heat distribution.
