Cooling for hospitality and terraces
A terrace at 38 °C in July empties tables. An indoor dining room without ventilation cuts table turnover. Blizzcool units cool terraces, dining rooms and service areas by up to 10 °C, with no building work, no refrigerant gases and an energy cost that will not send your bill soaring.
The heat challenge in hospitality
In summer, the terrace is a bar or restaurant’s main asset. But from 34–35 °C upwards, customers avoid sitting in the sun and look for venues with a cool interior. The result: empty tables during the busiest trading hours.
Indoors, kitchens generate a continuous heat load that spreads into the dining room. Conventional air-conditioning systems work at their limit with doors constantly opening and a steady flow of customers coming in and going out.
Misting or evaporative cooling can effectively lower the temperature in open and semi-open spaces, without closing the space and without the energy cost of a high-output fixed air-conditioning installation.
Temperature drop achievable with evaporative cooling on a semi-open terrace with good cross ventilation.
Typical applications
Every venue has a different layout. These are the scenarios we solve most often in hospitality.
Open and semi-covered terraces
High-pressure misting systems or evaporative coolers to lower the ambient temperature by 8 to 15 °C without closing the space or getting customers wet.
Indoor dining rooms with a heat load
Portable evaporative coolers to back up the existing air-conditioning system, especially during service hours with the kitchen at full capacity.
Kitchens and preparation areas
Wall fans aimed at workstations to move fresh air towards the areas generating the most heat: hobs, ovens and griddles.
Beach bars, food trucks and temporary venues
Portable evaporative coolers that can be set up and removed in minutes. Cooling without ductwork for temporary or seasonal venues.
Recommended units for hospitality
The right combination depends on whether the space is outdoor, semi-open or indoor, the number of diners and the sun exposure. These are the most common product families.

Why Blizzcool for hospitality
Works in open spaces
Evaporative cooling and misting are designed to work with free air circulation. You do not need to close the terrace to cool it.
Set up in minutes, with no building work
Plug in, fill the tank and switch on. Evaporative coolers and misting systems are portable: you place them where they are needed and remove them when the season ends.
Very low energy cost
An evaporative cooler uses between 0.5 and 1.5 kW. Compared with the cost of cooling a terrace with ducted air conditioning, the saving is over 80%.
More tables filled in summer
A cooled terrace keeps customers during the hottest hours. More turnover, a higher average spend and the image of a well-kept venue that builds loyalty.
Combinable by zone
Misting systems on the open terrace, coolers in the semi-covered area, wall fans in the kitchen and portable air conditioning in the private room. Each space with just the right solution.
