How This Can Impact Your Restaurant
Choosing Pandora CloudCover means tapping into plenty of benefits for restaurants large and small.
Common benefits for restaurants include the following:
Increased Ambiance
Music creates an inviting atmosphere that complements the dining experience. For example, pair classical music with white tablecloths for a sophisticated touch.
Improved Customer Experience
In a study published in the Indonesian Journal of Sports Management, researchers examined the impact of playing music in restaurants.
The people they surveyed said that the music helped people feel happier while they ate, and in some cases, it helped them to feel entertained too. Music makes this possible.
Increased Revenue
In 2024, researchers examined studies about song choices and consumer behavior inside restaurants. They found that songs with a fast tempo and a high energy level cause consumers to eat more.
However, high-tempo songs from a relaxing genre decrease consumption but make people linger longer. These choices can influence revenue significantly in time.
Improved Staff Morale
Upbeat music can keep staff members energized and productive. For example, playing energetic tunes during busy hours can help to maintain a positive work environment and good moods.
Reduced Background Noise
Kitchen clatter and street noise can make for an unpleasant dining experience. Music can mask those sounds and make the environment more inviting.
Enhanced Brand Identity
Reinforce your restaurant’s personality through music. Create a custom playlist that echoes your brand’s theme, and you’ll explain your brand to customers when they walk through the door.
