Food is emotional. Anyone who’s been through a break-up can tell you that. So why are restaurateur tactics so often grounded in what’s rational?

In this presentation, we show the power of subconscious decision-making, and what that means for ‘nudging’ diners into coming in and spending more.

Importantly, we also explored how these nudges vary between different customer groups: what will nudge a MeatLiquor diner might not work in Petrus.

By utilising persuasion (and personalised persuasion), you can optimise menus, ambience, and the service experience, as well as the messaging which brings people in in the first place.

Find out:

  • 🔴 Why people eat fewer pretzels from red plates;

  • 🥦 Why healthy food labels make people consume more calories;

  • 🥪 Why people eat more sandwiches when there’s variety

    …and what all this means for making money.
