Making money (increasing cash flow) with a canopy

If you have a bar or restaurant if it is a sunny day people will not want to sit in the sun for a long period of time getting sun burnt, also people will not stay long sitting under an umbrella if it is raining but they will under a canopy.

A canopy will make you money! An umbrella will lose you money.
