As the saying goes, first impressions are everything, and what better way to entice customers than with an inviting restaurant entrance. A mouth-watering menu is a must, but so is a stunning doorway. And with a renewed emphasis on outdoor dining, there’s no better time than the present to reevaluate your eatery’s entrance.

We take a look at some of the top steel door designs and see how they work with different restaurant styles; here are our favorites.

1. French Doors

Give a sneak peek of what’s inside with the classic French door design. These door designs are structured using steel-framed panels with glass in between so people passing by can get a clear view of what’s happening inside.

Where do French doors look best?

  • These door designs complement the industrial aesthetic spectacularly with their clean lines and modern materials.
  • If you’ve got a fun interior or activities going on inside that you want to showcase, such as freshly-baked goods being restocked every few hours.
  • If you’ve got indoor-outdoor seating and want your staff to serve customers with ease.
