As the hospitality industry grows more competitive, restaurants and bars are constantly seeking ways to maximize revenue and enhance customer satisfaction. One often-overlooked asset that can significantly boost profitability is the outdoor patio. A well-designed patio extends your usable space, attracts patrons who crave fresh air, and creates a unique dining or socializing experience. However, seasonal temperature drops often force these spaces to close during cooler months, leaving potential revenue on the table. The solution? Investing in high-quality commercial patio heaters.
For nearly two decades, GB-WARM has been a leader in the patio heater industry, ranking among the Top 3 manufacturers in China with 19 years of production and export expertise. Our commitment to innovation, superior craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction has made us a trusted partner for hospitality businesses worldwide.

Before diving into our top product offerings, let’s explore why commercial patio heaters are an essential investment for hospitality businesses. The benefits extend far beyond just keeping guests warm—they directly impact your bottom line and long-term success.
First, extended operating seasons are the most obvious advantage. With a reliable heating solution, you no longer have to shutter your patio when temperatures dip below 20°C (68°F). In temperate regions, this can mean adding 3–4 extra months of patio usage annually; in colder climates, it transforms a seasonal space into a year-round destination. For example, a restaurant in Berlin or London can keep its outdoor seating open from late spring through early winter, capturing revenue that would otherwise be lost.
Second, increased capacity and table turnover. Outdoor seating is a valuable commodity, especially in urban areas where indoor space is limited. By making your patio usable in all seasons, you can accommodate more guests, reduce wait times, and increase table turns. Studies show that restaurants with heated patios see a 15–30% increase in revenue during cooler months compared to those without heating. Patrons are also more likely to stay longer when they’re comfortable, leading to higher check averages from additional food and drink orders.
Third, enhanced customer experience and brand loyalty. Today’s consumers prioritize comfort and ambiance when choosing a dining or drinking spot. A heated patio creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere that sets your business apart from competitors. Whether it’s a romantic dinner for two, a group of friends catching up, or a casual after-work drink, guests will appreciate the effort you’ve put into making their experience enjoyable. This positive impression leads to repeat business, glowing reviews, and word-of-mouth referrals—all critical for building a loyal customer base.
Finally, cost-effective and energy-efficient options. Modern commercial patio heaters are designed to be energy-efficient, reducing operational costs while minimizing environmental impact.
With 19 years of experience in the industry, GB-WARM has established itself as a leader in manufacturing and exporting commercial patio heaters.

The CZGB-A propane patio heater is our best-selling commercial model, trusted by restaurants and bars worldwide for its power, durability, and reliability. Ideal for large outdoor spaces, this heater delivers 45,000 BTUs of heat, covering an area of up to 200 square feet—perfect for seating 8–10 guests.
Key Features:
Powerful Heating Performance: 45,000 BTUs of output provides instant, consistent heat even in cold temperatures (down to -10°C/14°F).
Durable Construction: Made from high-quality stainless steel and aluminum, this heater is resistant to rust, corrosion, and harsh weather conditions, ensuring a long service life.
Safety First: Equipped with a built-in tilt switch, oxygen depletion sensor (ODS), and flame failure device, the CZGB-A meets strict safety standards, giving you and your guests peace of mind.
Easy to Use: Features a simple ignition system (push-button) and adjustable heat settings, allowing you to control the temperature with ease.
Portable Design: Comes with two large wheels for easy mobility, so you can move the heater to different areas of your patio as needed.
Why It’s Perfect for Restaurants & Bars:The CZGB-A is designed for high-traffic commercial environments. Its powerful heating capacity makes it ideal for large patios, beer gardens, or rooftop bars, where you need to keep multiple tables warm. The durable construction can withstand heavy use, and the safety features ensure compliance with hospitality industry regulations. Plus, the portable design allows for flexible placement, so you can optimize heat distribution based on seating arrangements.
The 13KW Pyramid Flame Patio Heater offers a simple and elegant solution to keep you warm in your patio or garden year-round. The heater is of very high quality and has a steel construction for easy installation.
Key Features:
High-efficiency heat collection and wide-area heating: The unique conical design concentrates heat downwards and reflects it in all directions, forming a stable "heat shield" that effectively reduces unnecessary heat loss upwards.Typically equipped with an optically designed reflector, it can achieve a wider illumination angle (such as 120° or more), ensuring that a larger warm area is formed around the heater, allowing more people to feel the warmth at the same time.
Excellent safety performance: The pyramid's sloping design means that the heating element (such as a quartz tube or carbon fiber tube) is usually located at the top, and the outer shell temperature is relatively low, reducing the risk of people (especially children) accidentally touching the hot parts.With a large base area and low center of gravity, the overall structure is stable, has good wind resistance, and is not easy to tip over.They generally possess core safety features such as automatic power-off upon tipping and overheat protection.
Strong wind resistance: Many high-end pyramid models employ dual-combustion technologies (such as "surround heating" or "dual-tube design") and specially designed windproof reflectors. Even in windy outdoor environments, they effectively "lock in" heat, reducing its dissipation by the wind, resulting in more stable heating efficiency than traditional umbrella or column heaters.
Aesthetics and Atmosphere Design: Its simple and modern geometric shape can be perfectly integrated with various outdoor furniture and decoration styles (such as modern, minimalist and Nordic styles), making it a decorative item that enhances the style.
Why It’s Perfect for Restaurants & Bars:Why it's ideal for restaurants and bars: CZGB-I is a multi-functional investment for restaurants, serving as a "revenue generator, experience upgrader, and brand image shaper." It directly addresses the core pain point of outdoor dining being limited by weather, transforming previously underutilized "seasonal" spaces into year-round profitable growth points in a safe, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing way.
15000 BTU Tabletop Patio Heater is easy to carry, compact and powerful, giving you a cozy ambience you'll love. Tabletop Patio Heater wholesale search for GB-WARM Heater.
Key Features:
Excellent portability and flexibility: Compared to large floor-standing heaters, the countertop design is small and lightweight, making it easy to place on a table, bar, terrace side table, or carry around.No complicated installation required; simply open the gas canister to use. Ideal for quick deployment in various settings such as patios, balconies, patios, camping, picnics, fishing, and outdoor restaurants.
Targeted and efficient heating: Because it is usually placed at table height, the heat can radiate very directly to the upper body (torso and arms) of the people sitting around the table. This is one of the areas of the human body that is most sensitive to cold, so the heat efficiency feels very high.Gas heaters heat up instantly upon ignition, generating a large amount of heat in a short time to quickly dispel the surrounding chill.
Create a comfortable social atmosphere: It naturally becomes the heart of outdoor dining, chatting, and barbecues. The warm, enveloping atmosphere can significantly extend the time people spend outdoors, enhancing the gathering experience.
Relative energy saving and economy: Fuel is readily available using standard portable propane canisters (such as camping long canisters or household small canisters). It is only turned on when needed and turned off after use, eliminating continuous energy consumption and making it very economical for intermittent use.It does not rely on electricity, so it is not affected by power outages, and there is no need to consider the length of power cords and wiring issues, truly realizing "anytime, anywhere" heating.
Simple to use and maintain: Usually, you only need to turn the knob to ignite (piezoelectric ignition or electronic ignition) and adjust the flame intensity, making it suitable for all ages.When not in use, it can be easily stored in the garage or storage room without taking up much space.
Why It’s Perfect for Restaurants & Bars:For restaurants, the tabletop gas outdoor heater is more than just a heating tool; it's a low-investment, high-return "revenue engine" and "experience enhancer." It solves the pain points of outdoor dining in a highly cost-effective and flexible way, transforming what was once a "weather-dependent, unstable space" into a highly attractive, high-value "golden area." Provided safety management is in place, it's practically an essential tool for outdoor restaurants, bars, and cafes during transitional seasons.
High-quality cubic pellet heater. A replacement for existing heaters in gas or electric systems. Suitable for use in public or private outdoor spaces (terraces, porches, city gardens, restaurants), depending on your needs.
Key Features:
Strong sense of warmth: The burning flames produce soft, flickering light and shadow, creating a warm and romantic campfire atmosphere that electric heaters cannot match.
Operating costs and economic efficiency: Wood pellets are typically made from compressed wood chips, sawdust, and other recycled materials, and are a renewable energy source. In regions rich in timber resources, their long-term cost of use may be far lower than that of propane (liquefied petroleum gas) fuel, and also lower than the electricity bill for high-powered electric heaters.High-quality wood pellets burn completely, resulting in stable calorific value output and high efficiency.
Environmental protection and sustainability: Wood pellets absorb carbon dioxide during growth and release it during combustion, theoretically forming an approximate carbon cycle, with an overall carbon footprint lower than fossil fuels (such as propane).The raw materials come from forestry and timber processing by-products, which promotes the recycling of resources.Modern pellet combustion technology is advanced, producing pure pellets with very little ash and almost no smoke, making it much more environmentally friendly than traditional campfires or burning firewood.
Safety and convenience of use: Pellet fuel is solid, making it less prone to leakage or explosion, and safer to store than gas cylinders.Because it is radiant heat, a gentle breeze has less impact on the heating effect than a convection heater that requires heating the air.
Design aesthetics and multifunctionality: The exterior design is typically modern and decorative, making it a visual focal point in patios, terraces, or outdoor dining areas.Some pellet heaters are designed with a flat top or a grill, which can be used to heat drinks or grill simple foods such as marshmallows and sausages, adding to their entertainment and practicality.
Why It’s Perfect for Restaurants & Bars:For restaurants, pellet outdoor heaters are far more than just "heating equipment"; they are a "revenue engine," an "atmosphere master," and a "brand ambassador." By creating a unique and comfortable experience, they directly drive customers to stay longer, increase spending, and encourage repeat visits, thus building a strong competitive advantage in the fierce restaurant industry.
With so many options available, choosing the right commercial patio heater can be overwhelming. To help you make an informed decision, consider the following factors:
The first thing to consider is the size of your outdoor space. For large patios (over 200 square feet), a powerful propane or natural gas heater (like the CZGB-A or CZGB-I) is the best choice. For small to medium-sized patios (100–200 square feet), pellet heater (like the BPH005) will provide sufficient heat without wasting energy. For individual tables or small seating areas, a tabletop heater (like the CZGB-J2) is the perfect solution.
Fuel type selection depends on your budget, accessibility to utilities, and personal preference. Propane heaters are portable and easy to use, but you need to consider refueling costs. If you have a natural gas pipeline, a natural gas heater is economical and convenient, but requires fixed installation. Pellet heaters are environmentally friendly and provide targeted heating, making them ideal for businesses looking to minimize their environmental impact.
Safety is a top priority in the hospitality industry, so it’s important to choose a heater that meets all safety standards. Look for heaters with features like tilt switches, flame failure devices, oxygen depletion sensors, and stable bases. All GB-WARM heaters are certified to meet international safety standards, including CE, GS, ETL, and CSA, so you can rest assured that your guests are safe.
Your patio heater should complement your business’s decor and ambiance. Choose a heater with a design that aligns with your brand identity—whether it’s modern and sleek, rustic and traditional, or something in between. GB-WARM offers a range of designs and finishes, so you can find a heater that fits perfectly with your patio’s style.
Finally, consider your budget. Commercial patio heaters range in price from tens to hundreds of dollars, depending on size, fuel type, and features. While controlling your budget is important, investing in a durable, high-quality heater is equally important. Cheap heaters may save you money upfront, but they are often less durable and less efficient, leading to higher costs in the long run. GB-WARM offers a range of affordable, high-quality heaters that provide excellent value.
Once you’ve chosen the right heater for your business, there are a few tips to help you maximize its effectiveness and ensure that your patio is warm and comfortable for guests:
1. Optimize Placement
The placement of your heater is crucial for effective heating. For large heaters, place them in the center of your patio to ensure even heat distribution. For targeted heating, place infrared or tabletop heaters directly above or near seating areas. Avoid placing heaters too close to walls, ceilings, or flammable materials, and make sure there’s enough clearance around the heater to prevent accidents.
2. Use Windbreaks
Wind can significantly reduce the effectiveness of your heater, as it blows warm air away from your patio. Install windbreaks, such as glass walls, fences, or hedges, to block wind and trap heat. This will not only make your patio warmer but also create a more private and intimate atmosphere for guests.
3. Insulate Covered Patios
If your patio is covered, consider adding insulation to the ceiling or walls to retain heat. This will help your heater work more efficiently, reducing energy costs and ensuring that the space stays warm even in cold temperatures.
4. Adjust Heat Settings Based on Temperature
Most commercial patio heaters come with adjustable heat settings, so you can tailor the heat output to the temperature outside. On mild days, use a lower setting to save energy; on cold days, crank up the heat to keep guests comfortable.
5. Regular Maintenance
To ensure that your heater operates at peak performance, it’s important to perform regular maintenance. Clean the heater regularly to remove dirt, dust, and debris, and check for any signs of wear or damage. For propane and natural gas heaters, inspect the hoses and connections for leaks, and replace any worn parts as needed. GB-WARM provides detailed maintenance instructions for all our heaters, and our customer service team is available to answer any questions you may have.
Investing in a high-quality commercial patio heater is one of the best ways to keep your outdoor space profitable year-round. With the right heater, you can extend your operating season, increase capacity, enhance customer satisfaction, and boost revenue—all while creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere that sets your business apart from competitors.
