Can Music Make Your Food Taste Better? 🎶🍽️ A recent article from Atlas Obscura explores the fascinating concept of "sonic seasoning"—the idea that music can enhance the taste of food. Historical examples include medieval chefs hiding singing birds in pies and modern experiments where music is used to enhance specific flavors in dishes. Key Points: 🎵 Music can affect food taste and dining experience. 🎵 Different musical instruments and pitches are associated with various tastes (e.g., high pitches with sweet and sour, low pitches with bitter and umami). 🎵 Companies like Barilla are experimenting with music to enhance the enjoyment of their pasta dishes.

We live in a world in which everything from music concerts to restaurants are over-produced. We just came back from Las Vegas seeing Adele. The show begins with a back-up piano growing to a back-up group growing to a back-up mini-orchestra. Lights, fancy staging, a sound system with much too much bass, stuff (including small hearts) falling from the ceiling, etc. In this restaurant review, the reviewer asks the question of whether these places--that are on the World's 50 best list--serve food that people would actually want to eat. Sometimes, in food, music, movies, etc., less is more. Japanese culture recognizes this in many ways. Meanwhile, the trip to Vegas brought back memories of seeing Chuck Berry and Little Richard in venues where you could see and hear them and not be distracted with sound and light shows and stuff falling from the ceiling. #Adele #concerts #LasVegas #music #restaurants #bestlists #Japan

Do you know the effect of loud music at restaurants? Besides causing hearing damage, that is :) We already know how marketers use our senses to make us do things. The bakery smell or the perfume aisle in a mall, for instance. The urgent calling sound of a street hawker. The choice of the most colourful vegetables in the front of the shelf. And so on. But I came across a really interesting article in Washington Post recently ('What science tells us about noisy restaurants' https://lnkd.in/gFXD3HCS) which explained that we may be consuming more alcohol and eating faster, lesser, when the decibels are high. That should be helpful in both the bill amount and leaving the table faster :) In context, I recalled a relevant part from Charles Spence's 2020 book 'Sensehacking'. In the book, the author talks about the US chain Chipotle that controls the tempo of the music they play in the stores! They play faster music at busy times of the day (which speeds up customers!) and slower music at quieter times so that encourages people to eat slower and the stores don't look empty! Another useful takeaway from the Washington Post article was the mention of an app called SoundPrint. Installed it, so that I can check the decibel levels the next time I'm in a noisy restaurant :) #sense #sensehacking #sound #music #restaurant #hotel

Eating in a restaurants can be quite painful sometimes, with one problem coming after another on the table. That is why for the past month, my team and I have been working very hard to create innovative solutions to these dining problems. Here are a few of our team's brilliant ideas : 1. Waiting for people When the group size exceeds 1, you may be faced with an inevitable reality that some may be late. Whilst you wait, it is perfectly normal to feel "less than", that you should have and/or could have arrived later. Worry no longer, while you wait, you will be given 10 pieces of bubble paper so you can poke it one by one. Not only is it enjoyable to do, it also looks like you are doing something 2. Chopsticks and Xiao Long Bao Xiao Long Bao is a real trouble. Not only is the soup extremely hot, you also have to live in constant fear that it will burst whilst you get it with your chopsticks, denouncing you into utter embarrassment with your friends. We would propose an unprecedented solution to Xiao Long Bao in centuries - when the delicacy is served, it has already been poked with metal chopsticks, so it is unnecessary to fear that you would make it burst ! 3. Music Is it not devastating when your friends woo in the middle of nowhere, chanting "this is our song !", when you dont actually know "their song" and pretend to nod so you dont look weird ? In our restaurant, you will never worry because all music is an original improv by our in house singer, Ho Lun Leung 10 100 10. The songs are just a random arrangement of notes and words taken from the oxford dictionary. The song is NOT on spotify, apple music, that is why you can NOT listen to his new album "Snake Harvest" here https://lnkd.in/gJfgWtKR. 4. Photos Apple people, we know you feel superior, but nobody really cares about the fact that you can use functions of "Airdrop" and "Shared Album", no matter how "cool" they are. That is why flash and non flash photography is strictly prohobited in the restaurant and you can only use a camera, film or Hubble. 5. Check the bill You probably know the ancient wrestle to pay whenever the meal ends. We are offering an equitable, fair way out to this. Instead of having one person pay the entire sum, we can have each person pay the whole sum. For example, if the total is 1000 dollars, your mother and your auntie no longer has to struggle, each can pay 1000 dollars so it feels like everyone paid, awesome right ! If you feel strongly on these innovations as we do, and have more ground-breaking ideas, please let us know in the comments !

No one likes drinking alone. And the busier your taproom, the more each guest will spend. We analyzed thousands of taproom visits to see how the perceived level of busyness correlates to how much guests spend. Guests spent 38% more in packed taprooms compared to empty taprooms from 2017 to 2022. At one point, it was simply about the beer. Then the word 'experience' crept in. 'Experience' refers to every little aspect that contributes to a guest having a more memorable time. Their experience could be enhanced by something as basic as the music playing or something as extravagant as a decked-out anniversary celebration. See how by consistently facilitating and delivering these wow moments, you can see a busier taproom with higher tabs and more smiles.
