Restaurant Sidewalk Clearing

What This Service Involves

Restaurant guests often arrive after dark in dress shoes for dinner service, precisely when temperatures drop and the entry walk refreezes. We time clearing to your open hours so the entrance, waiting area, and any patio approach stay safe from the first reservation to last call. Puget Sound evenings routinely swing from wet afternoon pavement to overnight glaze, catching diners off guard at the door. Keeping that approach clear protects your guests and shields the restaurant from a slip-and-fall claim on top of its liability exposure.

Benefits

Entry and waiting areas kept safe through dinner service; Clearing timed to lunch and evening open hours; Protects guests arriving after dark in dress shoes; Patio approaches and side entries included as needed; Limits slip-and-fall claims against the restaurant

Our Process

1) Clear the entrance and waiting area before service opens; 2) Treat the door approach where evening temperatures refreeze; 3) Open patio and secondary guest entries as used; 4) Return before dinner service if afternoon melt refreezes

What Affects the Cost

Length of entry and waiting-area walkways; Whether patio approaches are in seasonal use; Evening and pre-service timing requirements; Refreeze treatment for after-dark temperature drops; Frequency based on your trigger and hours

Best Time of Year

Restaurant sidewalk risk peaks from late November through February during evening service, when afternoon melt refreezes at the door after dark.
