Restaurant owners keep making the same mistake when promoting managers.

It feels like the right move. They’ve been around a while. They say they want it. You’ve got a spot to fill. But that decision backfires more often than it works.

Here’s something you won’t ever regret: A fan integrated patio umbrella.

I was blown away by this – and not just because the fans are that strong. These are full sized umbrellas with quiet, built in fans that will cool everyone at the table.

Each guest gets their own breeze and there’s 2 USB ports so guests can charge their phones, tablets or laptops. Talk about a boost in table time! Check them out here.
