An open Skydining is built around a deck with chairs, tables, and an umbrella-like roof. The restaurant is lifted from the ground to the sky by a special type of crane. After the guests sit at the Skydining table, the staff secures them with three levels of belts. So, you can say it is quite safe to ride in a SkyDining.
With the help of a crane, the whole deck is lifted very slowly. Once the deck reaches 160 feet, the food gets served. However, the dining deck revolves around the air. At the end of the two-hour meal, it comes down with the guests.
