Outdoor Misters Contribute to the Success of Hospitality Businesses
June 12, 2024 By
Successful Palm Springs restaurant and hotel group F10 Creative is a powerhouse in the hospitality industry. Helmed by desert native Tara Lazar, F10 Creative is the force behind the popular trifecta Cheeky’s, Birba, and Alcazar Hotel Palm Springs. Cheeky’s is a breakfast/ brunch destination with a can’t-miss bacon flight or bloody mary. Its complimentary restaurant, Birba, is an avant-garde, al fresco, Italian restaurant and cocktail lounge. Both Cheeky’s and Birba are situated on the Alcazar, a boutique hotel property located in the heart of the hip Palm Springs Uptown Design District. All three venues have achieved tremendous success, and all three spots demonstrate their attentiveness to guest comfort with the intuitive application of outdoor misters.
Hospitality 101: The Art of Making Guests Comfortable
An interpretive meaning of Hospitality – Receiving and entertaining guests in a way that makes them feel well taken care of. It leverages ambiance, service, and products or amenities to provide guests with the best experience possible.
Restaurants and hotels prioritize making guests feel comfortable to ensure a memorable and enjoyable experience, fostering repeat business and positive reviews. They achieve this through a combination of attentive service, ambient design, and personalized touches. From the moment guests arrive, they are greeted warmly and efficiently greeted. The physical environment is carefully curated with comfortable seating, pleasant lighting, and soothing decor to create a relaxing atmosphere. Amenities such as clean, well-appointed spaces, high-quality linens, or beautifully presented dishes and accommodating dietary options in restaurants cater to guests’ needs and preferences. Staff plays a crucial role by being courteous, responsive, and anticipating guests’ needs, while extra touches, such as installing outdoor misters to refresh visitors in the desert heat, ensure every interaction contributes to a seamless and comforting experience.
Cheeky’s, Birba and Alcazar in Palm Springs
Scene and be Seen- Setting the Tone
F10 Creative has effectively set the tone with the highest standards of excellence in design, operation, service, and attention to detail at Cheeky’s, Birba, and Alcazar. Their innovative world class menus, cool vibes, and modern, upscale ambiance provide a unique scene to celebrate and be seen.
Cheeky’s
Anticipate a wait when visiting Cheeky’s. It’s a well-known hangout for breakfast aficionados who are willing to brave the lines for a seat in this cheery eatery. Outdoor misters can be seen from the streetside, giving attention to hungry guests while giving staff a break from the hot Palm Springs sun.
Birba’s
Those seeking a casually elegant evening will not be disappointed with a sojourn to Birba’s. Delicious fare is served in a lovely garden area filled with lush greenery. White patio lights are weaved amidst basket-covered lights to illuminate the open-air building and it’s large, covered terrace. The dining area is a wonderful spot for a social gathering and can be enveloped in outdoor misters to create a visually stunning space while keeping guests and staff comfortable in the dry desert weather.
Alcazar Hotel Palm Springs
This 34-room boutique hotel is a chic gem in the Coachella Valley. The property has a Mediterranean flare, and guests can find a quiet space to relax, grab a poolside beverage, and chill. Walkways have outdoor misters so that guests are cooled to and from their rooms. Modern and stylish, it caters to sophisticated tastes and warms guests as a retreat within Palm Spring’s stylish enclave.
Outdoor Misters Make a Memorable Guest Experience
The implementation of outdoor misters plays a pivotal role in the success of restaurants and hotels by significantly enhancing the guest experience. By providing a comfortable and refreshing environment, especially during the hot summer months, outdoor misters make spaces affected by hot weather elements more inviting and enjoyable. This not only increases customer satisfaction but also maximizes the use of outdoor spaces, leading to higher patronage and revenue. Additionally, the pleasant ambiance created by outdoor misters can set a restaurant or hotel apart from competitors, fostering a reputation for excellence and comfort. Ultimately, outdoor misters are a valuable investment that can elevate hospitality establishments’ overall appeal and profitability.
Misting System Implementation at The Spa at Sec-he
May 21, 2024 By
The Spa at Sec-he is located at Agua Caliente Cultural Plaza in downtown Palm Springs. The campus includes a tribal museum and an outdoor Oasis Trail and is considered an important cultural gathering place. The Spa is a celebration of the sacred healing waters of the Agua Caliente Hot Mineral Spring and is a central theme throughout the 73,000-square-foot wellness complex. The Sec-he Spa is a peaceful setting for guests to indulge in cutting-edge therapies and enjoy a host of amenities designed to pamper both men and women, including mineral baths, a eucalyptus steam room, a menthol sauna, aromatherapy showers, halotherapy salt caves, men’s and women’s whirlpools, fitness room, and flotation rooms. The outdoor environment features a resort-style waterfall pool, a zero-edge mineral pool, an outdoor whirlpool, and both indoor and outdoor dining, overhead misting, and waterfall fog effects.
Koolfog Contribution: Misting Systems for Cooling & Water Feature Enhancements
Koolfog designed, crafted, and installed several state-of-the-art custom misting systems for The Spa at Sec-he with attention to the ambiance, comfort, value, and technical innovation. Detail in creating a subtle sensory experience allows guests to see, hear, and feel a subtle mist that highlights evaporate cooling technology that leaves outdoor patrons refreshed without getting wet. The misting systems were placed for optimum utilization in heavy traffic areas and in places where guests would spend the most time relaxing poolside or enjoying the resort feel provided by the presence of several waterfall features.
Koolfog Production Details
- 4 high-pressure pumps to release water at 1000 PSI creates an evaporative cooling mist that lowers ambient temperatures.
- Proprietary fog nozzles that create visual impact around water features.
- The misting systems includes placement at VIP Cabanas, over an outdoor Dining area, on a tranquil outdoor patio, and a centerpiece waterfall feature.
- Over 100 mist nozzles positioned for optimum cooling and sight view.
While the pumps are in gardens or outdoor areas, they are not in client view and are tucked into utility areas; one of the pumps is located on the rooftop.
Challenge:
Scheduling with multiple construction partners:
Koolfog was part of an integrated construction project, working alongside multiple trades to understand the customer’s goal. Communication and teamwork were very important to convey Koolfog’s solutions and seamlessly incorporate our design in different areas with different materials, including rock work, awnings, and other unique structures.
Hiding our misting systems from view:
To keep Koolfog equipment and components out of the line of sight, we developed a creative routing solution for the misting system distribution lines. In addition, the lines were placed strategically inside the waterfall. Our team was challenged with accessing the area within the water feature and ensuring the misting system remained hidden from view without risking the lines submerging during spillway operation.
Our team worked around many trade schedules while accommodating the need to access areas where we worked. For example, when installing misting nozzles and feed lines to the deck cabanas, our team needed to make sure that our installation still allowed for cabana shade curtains to be installed and ensured that any future open/close curtain movement would not get caught on the misting nozzles.
Success:
Koolfog’s design and application of misting systems is the result of our highly knowledgeable implementation experts. Our team’s understanding of the client requirements and ability to overcome challenges is a key to every project’s success. Selecting the finest quality materials to withstand years of use in varying operating environments (misting lines in chlorinated waterfall/pool water, for example), calculating required flow, placement, and angle of mist to create the desired effect, all work together to create a beautiful and cool atmosphere for spa guests to enjoy.

Restaurants with Misters. Si Bon! So Good!!
May 14, 2024 By
Restaurants with misters are not a new concept for businesses in the Coachella Valley. Yet, they can make a big difference in getting folks in the door…and keeping them in their seats. The desert is bursting with culinary treasures. In fact, you can literally taste your way across the Coachella Valley. But businesses without misters can suffer in warmer weather, especially during those scorching summer months.
That’s because robust restaurant misters can signal:
- The establishment is open by providing a highly visible cue.
- Al fresco dining is an option.
- The restaurant utilizes all its seating to move guests in and out – an important feature for popular restaurants with usually long wait times.
- The restaurant is willing to invest in the details that keep guests comfortable.
- A restaurant takes pride in all levels of its operations, indicating: “It’s cool to be cool.” And that’s good.
Si Bon Misters Are So Good
Si Bon is in Rancho Mirage. Even on the hottest days, Si Bon’s invites patrons into its busy eatery to enjoy the best Belgian-French inspired fine food and beverages in the most comfortable setting. At once modern and traditionally romantic, Si Bon is an intimate and unpretentious venue bursting with unique dishes, wine selections, and a relaxed ambiance that encourages visitors to stay, chat, and savor the café culture experience.
From the parking lot, visitors can see its misters cooling the air from between large shade sails that flank the café’s magical outdoor patio. Koolfog designed the misters for Si Bon to optimize the areas that could benefit from high-rise evaporative cooling wrapped around the outside ceiling rims. The awning misters that float a cool breeze over the sunnier part of the patio (and face towards a busy traffic street) provide a “can’t miss” visual impact while creating a cool space to chill. Classic French styled chairs, colorful art, natural material accents, big shade awnings, and a cool space for lingering over conversation and a café au lait represent quintessential French design detail.
Voila!! The Food Is Good Too!!
From crepes to homemade waffles and desserts, Si Bon serves up mouthwatering, delicate, and delicious dishes. It also offers scrumptious craft cocktails, Happy Hour sips, breath-taking Brunch menus, and special cooking demonstrations. In addition to off-site catering, Si Bon’s talented Chef Philippe Caupain hosts amazing cooking demonstrations where dinner with wine is served following an immersive presentation. Guest chefs may make an appearance on such evenings with a prix fix event dinner and wine combination set at $125 per person.
A Menu’s Taste of French Staples with a Desert Twist:

Misters Make Summer Ball A Blast
September 13, 2023 By
Catching a summer baseball game just got a bit cooler, literally, in Palm Springs. The desert summer temperatures are scorching and create many challenges in organizing healthy outdoor activities. But management at Palm Springs POWER Baseball has hit a home run in its investment in misters to ensure that America’s favorite sports past-time can “play ball”!
“A cool feature at the stadium? Some areas of the stands have misters. Of course, misters are common at Palm Springs establishments due to summertime temperatures well into the triple digits, but, still, I think it’s really cool that misters were incorporated into the stadium. What a blast!” – Yelp Review
Take Me Out To The Ball Game
Palm Springs POWER Baseball facility is a state-of-the-art sports complex located in Palm Springs, California. In addition to providing a venue for various events, it is a popular destination for baseball enthusiasts and athletes of all ages. It is home to the POWER baseball team, champions of the 2023 California Collegiate League summer season. This is a fantastic program that has seen many future Pros play through. The POWER program also offers lessons and opportunities to expose youngsters inspired by the game. The POWER Baseball facility offers top-notch amenities and a wide range of services to cater to the needs of players and spectators alike. These fields are meticulously maintained to ensure optimal playing conditions. The facility also features spacious dugouts, batting cages, and bullpens, providing players with everything they need to enhance their skills and performance. In addition to the excellent playing surfaces, the facility offers a variety of amenities to enhance the overall experience. Spectators can enjoy comfortable seating areas, concession stands, and restroom facilities conveniently located throughout the complex. The grounds are equipped with high-quality turf, lighting, and misters to cool those in the stadium.
Misters Make All The Difference
“Bring on the heat” takes on new meaning for those faced with playing in 100-degree-plus weather and the thought of sitting through nine “red-hot” innings can be a tough sell. Placing misters throughout the property has allowed for a truly cool baseball experience as well as a “sweet spot” for hosting various tournaments and events. The misters can be a lifesaver as they can drop the ambient surrounding air temp, sometimes 10, 20 degrees. On any given game day, visitors may see company team building events or groups socializing under the misters with a POWER BBQ. What baseball game would be complete without hot dogs, peanuts and “Cool-Up” ice cream! The POWER concession stand serves all of your ballpark favorites and many more! Hot dogs, hamburgers, popcorn, Cracker Jacks, sunflower seeds, peanuts, chips, candy, ice cream, soda, Gatorade, water, and beer, as well as made-to-order salads.
Each July 4th the Palm Springs POWER and the City of Palm Springs launch a special celebration for residents and visitors to the Coachella Valley. The home game places the Power players to compete mid-league and after the game, there is a spectacular firework extravaganza to light up the night!
“Stadium in the misty moonlight. SO fun! Great event while visiting the desert. The misters above the seats were perfect.”- YELP Review
Definitely put this “Little/Big League” experience on your list of “fun in the sun” happenings to share with family and friends. And enjoy the Koolfog misters!

The misters on the Tack Room Tavern patio provide several benefits as they help to cool down the outdoor space during hot days. This is especially important in a desert climate like Indio, where temperatures can soar to uncomfortable levels.

The Empire Polo Field can get dusty, especially during events and festivals, and the misters help to settle the dust particles and keep them from being kicked up into the air. This ensures a more pleasant and enjoyable experience for patrons sitting on the patio. In addition, the misters create a refreshing and pleasant ambiance on the patio. The fine mist creates a misty atmosphere that adds a touch of tranquility and relaxation to the outdoor space.
Misters contribute to a more comfortable and enjoyable experience for patrons at the Tack Room Tavern and enhance the destination as a must-visit venue for anyone looking for great food, drinks and a memorable experience.
