Real candlelight creates an authentic mood that drives sales

A warm, inviting and well-lit space creates the perception of quality to your guests and sparks a positive emotional response based on the atmosphere. Fire in the form of candlelight is an easy way for restaurant owners to tweak the mood and feel of their dining room, whether it be year round or just for special occasions.

We have only recently started using Bolsius Professional Candles in our outside space and were impressed at how great they look. The large coloured candles have made a real difference, creating a warm welcome, as well as improving the ambiance for our evening drinkers and diners.

It's all about the atmosphere...

Atmosphere, together with the menu and price, is among the top three criteria for selecting a restaurant. Once inside, the table decoration helps to determine the atmosphere and overall impression for the guests. And guess what? Over three quarters of guests say that real candlelight positively influences the ambiance. 60% of guests state that they are willing to stay longer, and over 65% are even willing to pay more if there is a real candle on the table!
