Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Whitby was looking for a low-cost way to enhance its evening atmosphere and encourage diners to stay longer. They decided to switch from battery-operated lights to traditional candlelight to create a more authentic, cosy feel.
"Our guests constantly comment on how lovely and intimate the restaurant feels in the evenings now. It's such a simple change, but these candles have made all the difference to the mood. They burn beautifully without any fuss."
Robert Green – Owner
The bistro reported that guests were lingering for longer, resulting in a noticeable 15% increase in post-dinner drink and dessert orders.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always use a sturdy, non-flammable candle holder that fits the base snugly to prevent wobbling.
- For the cleanest burn, trim the wick to about 6mm (¼ inch) before lighting for the first time.
- Place candles away from any draughts, fans, or open windows to prevent uneven burning and dripping.
- Keep candles at least 10cm apart from each other and well clear of any flammable materials like curtains or decorations.
Keeping It Going
- Never, ever leave a burning candle unattended. This is the golden rule of candle safety!
- Use a proper candle snuffer to extinguish the flame. This prevents hot wax from splattering.
- Allow the candle to cool down completely before you try to touch or move it.
- Store your spare candles lying flat in a cool, dark, and dry place to keep them in top condition and prevent warping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these red dinner candles scented?
A: No, these are completely unscented. This is deliberate, to ensure they don't interfere with the wonderful aromas of your food and wine.
Q: What is the approximate burn time for one candle?
A: While it varies with conditions like air currents, you can typically expect a burn time of several hours, which is perfect for covering a full evening's service.
Q: Do these candles actually drip?
A: They are specifically designed to be drip-resistant when burned correctly – that means keeping them upright and away from draughts.
Q: What are they made of?
A: They are made from a high-quality wax blend that has been refined to provide a consistent, stable, and clean burn.
Q: Can I use them for an outdoor seating area?
A: We'd advise against it. Wind will cause them to burn very quickly and unevenly, which leads to dripping and the flame extinguishing. They are best for indoor use.
Q: What sort of holder do I need?
A: You'll need a standard taper candle holder. The most important thing is that it holds the candle firmly and upright.
Q: Is the red colour just a coating on the outside?
A: Not at all. These are solid colour candles, meaning the vibrant red wax is consistent all the way through, so they look great even as they burn down.
Q: How should I store the rest of the box?
A: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Storing them flat will also prevent them from bending or warping over time.
