Max-Joseph-Straße is one of the most prestigious streets in Munich. In close proximity to the city's old town, the English Garden, the Hofgarten and the Bavarian State Chancellery, most of the buildings in the area are marked with brightly polished brass plates to signify the ministries, law firms, notaries, chambers of commerce and insurance providers that inhabit them. Rent prices are even more exorbitant than the going rate in Munich. So anyone who works or lives here expects nothing but the best, including when it comes to gastronomy.
The Conti Restaurant, located in Haus der Bayerischen Wirtschaft, is an address that lives up to these exacting standards. With exquisite cuisine and an ambience to match, the inside spaces seat up to 100 guests, with space for an additional 45 guests outside on the sun patio. The patio has now been extensively equipped with a waterproof pergola awning to allow the patio to be used to serve guests virtually all-year round, from spring to long into Autumn.
Designing covers for an urban setting shaped by irregular facades and a varied tree population requires tailor-made solutions. Perea P70 pergola awning from WAREMA permits large units to be installed, even at flat angles. The rainproof fabric and dimmable LED lighting provides a weatherproof, cosy atmosphere.
At the Conti Restaurant, five awnings of different sizes were combined to form two groups, covering almost the entire patio despite the presence of trees. A total of roughly 150 square metres was covered to allow the patio to be used all year round.

The impressive weather protection offered by the P70 unit can largely be attributed to the weatherproof fabric, which is guided by innovative pleating technology, and the motor drive with a toothed belt. The drive keeps the fabric taut in all positions, achieving a high level of wind stability up to wind force 7, namely wind speeds of up to 61 km/h, and ensuring that no pockets of water capable of causing malfunctions form, even at a slight incline. This guarantees controlled water drainage at all times. The transverse frames at the front function as fully integrated drainage gutters, guiding water running off the blinds directly to the outer poles, where the rainwater is directed downwards without being noticed by guests.
The awnings and accessories can be conveniently operated electronically using the WMS hand-held transmitter comfort. Commands are transmitted from one receiver to another via a mesh network. This makes it possible to communicate with products located at a distance.
The sunshade receivers not only execute the move commands, but also actively confirm them. Thanks to optical feedback, users know that the sun shading system is in the desired position. Different comfort positions can be individually retrieved and saved.

In addition to adapting the unit to on-site conditions, another selling factor for the Perea P70 was its impressive weatherproofing. As a result, caterers can continue to use the patio with basically no limitations and keep guests comfortable outside. The increased earnings, even during bad weather, mean the unit quickly pays for itself.
Regular maintenance helps to prevent costly breakdowns and maximises the service life of the cover solution. A special WAREMA service for food service companies permits worry-free use even under highly demanding conditions and the free service hotline ensures the right contact person is always available. In this way, the fastest possible and simplest solution can always be found together with our specialist partners in the case of damage.
To sum up, every square metre of a patio covered can increase the profit generated by food service companies.

The best possible use of available open spaces for serving guests is an important success factor for food establishment owners. Because more and more people prefer sitting outside at restaurants - regardless of the season. The installation of a high-grade sun shading and weather protection system is often indispensable here.
