SAN ANTONIO \u2013 A break from the heat could mean more customers \u2014 and tips \u2014 for San Antonio businesses as fall weather moves in.<\/p>\n
Servers along the River Walk are looking forward to cooler temperatures and more people dining outdoors.<\/p>\n
\u201cBring it. We\u2019re so ready,\u201d said Monica Maya, a server at Republic of Texas. \u201cIt\u2019s about to get good. We\u2019re about to make good money. We\u2019re getting back in the season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Server Sirena Flores said the heat has been keeping people inside.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt being so hot, everyone kind of wants to stay indoors where the AC is at,\u201d Flores said. \u201cSo hopefully we can see a change in that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fall also draws tourists to the city. Israel Sanchez said his family visits San Antonio every October to get a break from the heat and humidity farther south. They live in Rosenberg, Texas.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re going to see a lot more people coming out of the Houston area, the Gulf area, coming out this way just because it\u2019s a little bit cooler,\u201d Sanchez said.<\/p>\n
At The Friendly Spot Ice House, owner Jody Bailey Newman said the business finds ways to bring in customers during any weather, offering low beer prices year-round.<\/p>\n
She said cooler, seasonal weather typically brings more people to the patio.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wait to see the first pair of Ugg boots to come in. That\u2019s like how we know it\u2019s fall or winter,\u201d Newman said. \u201cBut yeah, the very seasonable weather means more people here, more friends are out hanging out and having a good time. That\u2019s good for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
One business owner along the River Walk didn\u2019t talk on camera, but said numbers have been down in recent years. He said cooler temperatures could bring a small boost. The owner attributed the decline to the economy, changes in marketing and changing dining habits.<\/p>\n
KSAT reached out to the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, who says they don\u2019t track data that could make any correlation between weather and business.<\/p>\n
