Music is one of the most powerful tools a restaurant owner has — yet it's one of the most overlooked.
Guests stayed longer with slower music. Faster music shortened visits — a useful consideration when tables are in demand.
Bill amounts did not differ significantly between groups. Use tempo to support dining pace, rather than promising higher spend.
Relaxed service
Test slower playlists for an unhurried dining experience.
Busy service
