From seasonal to signature
For years, outdoor seating was synonymous with fair-weather seasons. But now, commercial patios are redefining their purpose. Restaurants, rooftop bars, boutique grocers, and retail showrooms are no longer shutting down outdoor spaces when the temperatures dip. Instead, they’re embracing year-round ambiance using innovative tools like Outmore's cordless heated furniture. These businesses recognize that the outdoor experience is no longer seasonal - it’s signature. Customers want atmosphere, flexibility, and design-forward comfort, regardless of the month.
The cordless advantage for businesses
One of the biggest challenges in commercial outdoor design is power access. Running cords across patios or rooftops poses safety hazards and visual clutter. Outmore solves this problem with battery-powered, cordless heated seating that blends seamlessly into high-end settings. With a battery life of up to 10 hours and five heat settings ranging from 85°F to 120°F, businesses can deliver tailored comfort from brunch through evening cocktails. Teak frames and weather-resistant materials like Sunbrella® make it a smart investment for high-traffic hospitality settings.
Where warmth meets experience
From cozy coffee nooks to elevated grocery patios, Outmore’s heated furniture is being used in ways that go far beyond the traditional backyard setup. These spaces aren’t just functional - they’re immersive, offering warmth, beauty, and a seamless brand experience that invites guests to linger.
At Rosy’s Grocer in Austin, TX, heated seating turns a quick morning stop into a comfortable moment of pause. Whether guests are meeting a friend or grabbing a quiet moment before work, the warmth of Outmore’s cordless furniture creates a welcoming patio environment year-round - no matter the chill in the air.
Over in Connecticut, the Delamar Greenwich Harbor Hotel integrates Outmore into its luxury waterfront property. Guests dining outdoors enjoy a five-star view and ambiance, complemented by subtle, cordless warmth that extends their stay and elevates the sensory experience.
And at the Traverse City Horse Show in Michigan, Outmore seating brought warmth and elegance to an outdoor VIP hospitality tent - offering spectators a stylish and comfortable place to relax between competitions, regardless of shifting fall temperatures. It showed how cordless heated furniture can support not just hospitality, but elevated event design.
Across industries, these locations demonstrate how heat can be used as a brand asset - one that subtly enhances comfort, keeps guests coming back, and transforms outdoor time into something memorable and refined.

Reimagining elevated spaces with cordless design
When it comes to rooftop patios, elevated balconies, or compact terraces, layout flexibility and visual clarity matter. These spaces often pose unique design challenges - limited access to power, weather exposure, and the need to balance style with function. Outmore’s cordless heated furniture offers a refined solution that fits beautifully into these environments.
Whether it's used for rooftop hospitality, second-story lounges, or transitional indoor-outdoor spaces, the furniture’s cordless design eliminates tripping hazards and visual clutter, while still delivering comfort that adapts to changing temperatures.
Design-forward showrooms like Somich Design in Solana Beach, CA, and Element 25 in Minneapolis, MN, feature Outmore's collections to help clients and designers envision how modular heated seating can be incorporated across a range of commercial and residential layouts. These settings show that outdoor comfort isn’t limited by floor plans - it’s powered by thoughtful design.
Outmore’s cordless heat brings warmth where it’s least expected - elevating every space from practical to unforgettable.
Elevating the retail experience
Retail brands understand that customers linger longer when comfort is part of the experience. Whether it’s a garden center, luxury showroom, or boutique storefront, Outmore’s cordless heated seating creates a natural space to pause. The combination of warmth and ambiance drives foot traffic and encourages dwell time - key metrics for retail success. Imagine a customer seated outdoors, sipping cider while they wait for a consultation or browse inventory via QR codes on a cozy patio bench.
How to choose the right heated setup for your business
Designing a heated outdoor space isn’t just about adding warmth - it’s about choosing the right configuration to support your brand’s flow, function, and guest experience. Here are key considerations to help you get the most out of your outdoor setup:
-
Use wind-blocking elements like planters, privacy walls, or glass paneling in exposed settings. This helps maintain consistent heat while still preserving the open-air atmosphere.
-
Tailor heat zones to behavior: For relaxed lounge areas, Level 2 or 3 heat with soft throws creates an inviting feel. Outdoor areas benefit from Level 4 or 5 heat to keep guests comfortable through full meals.
-
Choose modular seating for flexibility: In retail or event-based spaces, modular chairs and benches allow you to adapt layouts for seasonal activations, high-traffic weekends, or changing customer flow.
-
Optimize by layout, not just location: Place heated seating where people naturally pause - near entry points, scenic corners, or check-in zones to make the warmth feel intentional, not incidental.
-
Match material tones to climate: In warmer regions, lighter Sunbrella® fabrics stay cool in direct sun. In colder climates, deeper tones subtly retain warmth for added efficiency.
When thoughtfully integrated, heated furniture becomes more than a feature - it becomes part of your hospitality language. Outmore makes it possible to translate comfort into every detail of your outdoor space.
Heat as a hospitality statement
Today, heat isn’t just a seasonal add on - it’s a signature of hospitality. Outmore helps businesses extend their brand presence outdoors while offering a premium guest experience. Whether you're designing a rooftop happy hour, a cozy sidewalk café, or a winter retail event, Outmore's cordless heated furniture invites guests to linger longer, return more often, and associate your space with thoughtful comfort.
