It's night and day. We have a beautiful outdoor patio seating area that customers love. It accounts for probably 30-40% of our total tables, so when it rains, business slows down significantly. I used to love rainy days and absolutely hate them now since nice weather = more tips for me.

Totally! Crazy how total sales (and tops) can vary so significant due to weather! That’s real money we’re talking about!
Where I live, the rain is typically short-lived lived so it doesn’t impact the whole day. On the occasion we do have storms in the forecast, business does slow down a bit, but normally just earlier in the day.

Ah lucky. We have days of rain sometimes. Totally ruins my sales!
Yes we are definitely affected by the weather. It sucks when we are as slow as we have been with this weather. I know it impacts the staff who rely on tips as well.

Right? It seriously impacts sales and tips alike. Wish we had some good way to get people to order even with rain…
