A restaurant terrace in Mallorca is a revenue asset — but only when it can be used. In a typical Mallorcan summer, wind events can disrupt terrace service 20–40 times across the season, cutting covers, forcing guests inside, and frustrating front-of-house operations. The commercial shade solution must solve a problem that residential solutions only partially address: it must protect guests and staff automatically during service, without requiring a team member to monitor the sky and manually manage any structure.
SunSquare’s fully automatic wind sensor technology was built for exactly this use case. The system responds to wind without human input — no manager needs to watch the anemometer, no service is interrupted while a member of staff wrestles with a manual retraction system. The sail retracts; service continues. When the gust passes, the sail re-deploys. The terrace earns its covers.
The operational economics of a commercial terrace shade decision are simple. An exposed 80 m² restaurant terrace seating 40 covers generates, at conservative Mallorcan restaurant pricing, €3,000–€6,000 of revenue per service. If wind forces that terrace to be abandoned 30 times over a summer season, the revenue loss is €90,000–€180,000. A SunSquare installation for the same terrace costs €14,000–€28,000. The ROI calculation requires no spreadsheet.
Beyond revenue, there is the staff and guest safety dimension. Flying menus, toppled glassware, and guests struck by debris from an inadequately secured shade structure are all documented insurance claims in the Mallorcan restaurant sector. SunSquare’s automatic retraction removes these scenarios from the liability profile entirely.
We track cover counts by service. Since the installation, we have not closed the terrace for wind once — including during the Tramuntana season.
Commercial restaurant and hotel terraces impose operating requirements that go beyond residential scale. SunSquare’s commercial specification addresses these:
| Commercial Feature | SunSquare Specification |
|---|---|
| Motor specification | Somfy IO brushless motors — rated for 10,000 operational cycles vs 15,000 residential. Essential for terraces operating 300+ days per year. |
| Coverage scale | Up to 85 m² per sail unit. Modular limitless configurations from coordinated sail array. |
| Service response | incompar.com commercial service contract: annual inspection, 48-hour response SLA for faults during operating season. |
| Scene programming | Time-programmed configurations: morning set, midday full cover, evening mode. Automated by site GPS and season. |
| Brand integration | Fabric colour-matched to venue brand guidelines. Multiple Soltis 92 colours — or custom specification at 12-week lead time. |
A 90-seat waterfront restaurant with a 100 m² terrace facing the bay commissioned a two-sail SunSquare modular system after repeated summer disruptions from Llevant wind events. In the first full season following installation, the operator reported zero weather-related service interruptions on the shaded terrace zone. The GM reported that the sail system had effectively added 30 usable service sessions across the season that would previously have been disrupted.
A 12-room boutique hotel in the Sóller valley — exposed to Tramuntana descent — required shade coverage across a 120 m² pool terrace that also served as a breakfast and lunch dining space. Two SunSquare units in a coordinated modular configuration were installed with colour-matched anthracite fabric to the hotel’s design palette. The installation was completed in 2 days. No disruption to hotel operations during installation.

There is no minimum. incompar.com handles single-sail commercial installations for small pool bars and multi-sail arrays for large resort hotels with equal expertise. The commercial motor to highest specification applies from the first unit when the installation is for a commercial venue operating more than 150 days per year.
Yes. SunSquare’s Somfy TaHoma platform integrates with KNX, Crestron, and Loxone systems — the three most common building management protocols used in Mallorca hotel and restaurant installations. Custom integration is available at additional cost.
Under the commercial service contract, incompar.com targets a 48-hour on-site response for any structural issue that prevents the sail from operating during the operating season. Remote diagnostics via the Somfy app allow certain issues to be resolved without a physical visit.
