**The Restaurant Table Dilemma** 🍽️ Making choices at a restaurant isn't just about what's on the menu. It's about how those choices are presented. Imagine you're torn between a $15 pasta and a $30 steak. Then, the waiter mentions a $50 seafood platter. Suddenly, the steak seems like a bargain! This simple scenario illustrates how our decisions are influenced by the context around us. As Daniel Kahneman brilliantly explores in "Thinking, Fast and Slow," our minds are fascinatingly susceptible to these influences. #BehavioralEconomics #DecisionMaking #ValuePerception

There is a fine balance in restaurants of being innovative and playing the hits. The approach that I see that consistently works the best is a twist on a classic. Something where the guest has the familiarity with the dish but there is an element of surprise for variation that sticks in their mind. The things I go back to over and over again aren't the avant garde dishes, but rather the classics executed exceptionally. A great bowl of pasta, a roast chicken, margherita pizza, an exceptional burger etc. The restaurants that serve these things are also the ones that last for decades rather than simply years or months. In summary when in doubt play the hits.

🍅 Ever wondered if that ketchup bottle at your favorite restaurant truly contains Heinz? If you've worked in the restaurant industry, you know that refilling ketchup bottles is a common practice. But Heinz is taking a stand against this! Introducing Heinz's clever solution: their iconic label now features a unique red border that perfectly matches the bright red of genuine Heinz Ketchup. This makes it easy to spot imposters, as other ketchups tend to be darker in color. Next time you're dining out, take a moment to check if the ketchup inside matches the label. If it doesn't, you might not be getting the quality you expect. Kudos to Heinz for innovatively protecting their brand integrity and ensuring we all enjoy the true taste of their legendary ketchup! 🍅 #Heinz #BrandIntegrity #QualityAssurance #KetchupLovers

I'm doing very important research on local cuisine and Maryland oysters. What is the best dish you've had locally at a bar or restaurant that has included oysters? Stew? Soup? Raw? Steamed? Fried? Breaded? Baked? Charbroiled? Grilled? Some way I don't need to know about but do? I need to know so I can dig in on the taste.

Someone recently asked our team, why is differentiation so crucial to a business's success? Here’s a simple way to think about it: Imagine it’s Friday night, date night, and you’re craving a perfectly cooked steak. Are you going to choose a steakhouse or a buffet? Chances are, you’ll pick the steakhouse. Why? Because they’re known for one thing: making great steak. At a buffet, you’ll find steak sitting next to hamburgers, sushi, and who knows what else. Sure, there’s good variety, but it’s not good steak. The steakhouse, on the other hand, can charge more, build a stronger reputation, and offer different cuts and styles of steak—all because their customers believe they know what they’re doing, in a way the buffet just doesn’t. That’s the difference between brands that carve out a clear identity and those that try to be everything to everyone. Brands that understand who they are and what they excel at are respected, valued, and able to grow profitably better than those that don't. It’s not just about what you do, but how you do it. #BrandDifferentiation #BusinessSuccess #MarketPositioning
