Outdoor café areas: how do you guarantee access to sanitary facilities?

Outdoor café areas, a place where delicious treats are enjoyed within a festive social spirit, have found their place in the daily lives and hearts of the French. Initially a Parisian tradition, they gradually spread throughout France, to riversides, parks and public squares in small villages and large towns. However, behind the festive and relaxed atmosphere of these venues lies a crucial and often overlooked issue: access to sanitary facilities.

The outdoor café area: an essential pop-up restaurant

Outdoor café areas have become an essential part of city life: an oasis of relaxation, sharing and celebration, making them the ideal place to drink, eat and enjoy with family and friends. However, one question remains: how do these outdoor café areas manage access to sanitary facilities for so many people?

Access to sanitation, a major challenge

When dozens or hundreds of people gather in the same place, it is essential to take into account their basic needs, including access to clean and functional sanitary facilities. Unfortunately, many outdoor café areas face major logistical challenges to meet this need: lack of space, lack of financial resources, etc.

Happee Services, flexible, inclusive and eco-friendly solutions

With experience dating back to 1962, Happee Services is the ideal sanitation provider for all of your city projects. We offer mobile toilet and related maintenance services for hire, to guarantee access to hygiene anywhere and for any length of time. Happee in the City is our range dedicated to cities and urban spaces. It has been designed to meet the expectations and needs of local residents and tourists, as well as towns and local authorities. For outdoor café areas and pop-up bars, the Happee in the City range offers several advantages:

1. Flexibility: our “City” mobile toilets can be deployed quickly and efficiently, in line with your needs, in areas where there is no sanitary infrastructure or where there are large numbers of people, to supplement existing sanitary facilities.
2. Mobility: the positioning of the equipment is flexible, depending on the needs of your project, because installation and removal do not require complex road infrastructure.
3. Space-saving: our solutions are compact and require very little floor space, so you can position them wherever you want, while maximising space.
4. Cleanliness and hygiene: “City” mobile toilets are designed to provide a clean and hygienic environment for all users.
5. Accessibility and inclusion: guaranteeing toilet access for everyone is essential! We offer facilities adapted to people with reduced mobility, as well as to families. For women, we offer madamePee, a female urinal that meets the needs of women users for speed, privacy and hygiene, allowing equal toilet access for men and women.
6. Low environmental impact: our equipment is manufactured in France and requires no water or electricity. They are self-contained in terms of resources and respectful of the environment.
