Pay a Parking Charge Get in touch Pubs and Restaurants Setting the right tone and ambience doesn’t start when your guests walk through the door. It starts when they pull up outside. Through our range of effective parking management services, we can help restaurants and pubs provide effective parking for their patrons and drive additional revenue for their businesses. Home / Sectors / Pubs & Restaurants Explore more Car park management for pubs & restaurants Across the country, the majority of pubs and restaurants offer free parking to genuine customers who then spend money on-site. While this sounds like a great idea on paper, the reality is that these free spaces tend to also be used by those who aren’t patrons of your pub or restaurant. Not only does this force genuine customers to go elsewhere, possibly to competitors, but it can also vastly reduce footfall to the business – in some cases up to 25%.
