Playbook
The terrace — or the rooftop, the garden, the best window seats — is usually a venue's most wanted table and its most wasted one. It sells out when the weather is perfect and sits empty the rest of the week, and even at capacity it is often committed too cheaply because guests could not see or ask for it in the first place. This playbook sets out how to make your best outdoor and premium space visible, bookable and priced to demand.
The problem
Most booking flows treat every table the same. A guest picks a date, a time and a party size — and never sees that the terrace exists, let alone chooses it. The result is a premium space that is under-sold most of the week and sold at the wrong price when it does fill.
The playbook
Each step builds on the last: make the terrace visible, price it to demand, put it in front of the right guests, protect it with commitment, then measure and adjust. Run them in order.
Put the terrace in the booking flow as a real, visual option — not buried text. When a guest can see the space and pick a terrace table for themselves, latent demand turns into a booking instead of a phone call you may miss.
Your best slots are not evenly wanted. Position the sunset window, weekend evenings and clear-weather nights as premium — with a higher minimum spend, a set menu or a deposit — and hold the terrace back from being given away flat at quiet times.
The terrace sells itself to couples, tourists, and occasion bookings — anniversaries, birthdays, celebrations. Run targeted campaigns to those segments for the windows you need to fill, rather than blasting every guest the same offer.
Premium demand deserves a commitment. A deposit or minimum spend on the terrace protects your best inventory from no-shows and speculative holds, and makes a peak-night table a committed booking rather than a hopeful one.
Read how the terrace performs by zone and slot — how often it is chosen, what it earns and where it sits empty. Use that to move pricing, shift campaigns and rebalance windows, then measure again. The playbook is a loop, not a one-off.
How RAYN helps
This is not theory you have to build yourself. RAYN gives you the visual booking, pricing, targeting and measurement to run the whole playbook from one platform. Each part links to how it works.
Turn your floor and terrace into a visual, bookable map. Guests see the space in 3D and choose a terrace table for themselves — so the premium area reads as premium and demand is captured at the point of booking.
See demand, conversion and yield by zone and slot. Read how the terrace performs across sunset and peak windows, spot where it is under-priced or empty, and price it deliberately to the night.
Take terrace requests that start in chat and turn them into structured, deposit-backed bookings — with the questions answered and the table captured rather than lost in a thread.
Find the couples, tourists and occasion bookers who want the terrace, and target campaigns to them for the exact windows you need to fill — instead of the same message to everyone.
