Restaurant operators shopping outdoor dining solutions at the California Restaurant Show 2026 will find furniture and cooling under one roof: Lagoon Furniture USA and strategic partner Mytek International, Inc. are co-exhibiting at Booth #713 during the August 23–25 event at the Anaheim Convention Center, presenting the case that seating selection and airflow management belong in the same design conversation.
The Product Mix
Lagoon's show floor display centers on its restaurant-grade seating portfolio — dining armchairs, armless chairs, and bar- and counter-height options spanning a range of styles — alongside adaptable tables and modular lounge furniture. The modular lounge pieces are aimed at operators planning mixed-use spaces where a single seating solution won't serve every zone. The breadth of the collection is intended to let designers maintain a coherent visual thread from dining room to bar to patio without defaulting to uniform pieces throughout.
Mytek International layers in portable evaporative cooling units targeted at outdoor and semi-outdoor dining areas. Evaporative coolers improve airflow without permanent HVAC infrastructure, making them a practical option for patios, covered terraces, and pop-up dining formats where ductwork isn't feasible. For operators who rely on al fresco covers to generate revenue during warmer months, the ability to extend comfortable ambient temperatures — for both guests and back-of-house staff working service stations outdoors — directly affects table turns and dwell time.
Operator and Specifier Angle
Lagoon's existing client roster includes Bone Hook Brewing in Naples, Florida; JRDN and Park Social in San Diego; and MrBeast Burger in New York, giving the brand exposure across brew-pub, full-service, and fast-casual formats. That cross-segment experience is relevant for consultants and designers specifying multi-concept projects, where the same furniture family needs to flex across different service styles.
The pairing with Mytek signals a broader positioning play: rather than selling individual SKUs, Lagoon is framing its booth around the complete outdoor hospitality environment. For equipment specifiers and foodservice design consultants, that approach echoes a wider industry trend toward integrated outdoor dining and ventilation solutions that treat ambient comfort as a capital decision rather than an afterthought.
Qualified attendees who place orders paid in full during the show receive an additional 3% discount — an incentive aimed at operators with near-term project timelines who want to lock in pricing on product they can evaluate in person.
The California Restaurant Show runs August 23–25 at the Anaheim Convention Center. Operators, dealers, and design consultants tracking front-of-house furniture and outdoor prep-and-storage investments will find Lagoon and Mytek at Booth #713.
