There is a new most-heated restaurant problem that overshadows even bad service and high prices. In fact, it also tops bad food as the pet peeve patrons hate most. Too much noise is now the top complaint of restaurant customers.
What has amplified this business-killing monster? Well, let’s start with open kitchens, music being played way too loud and poor acoustics.
Sound-reflective surfaces like glass, brick and stone might look fabulous in your restaurant, but it is cause for an aural mess. The problem with noisy restaurants is that it is a turn off to anyone who wishes to hear the conversation of their company or those who wish to dine in relative peace.
It might not always be the case, but a loud restaurant might be masking other problems, like poor service or bland food. You see, some restaurant owners opt for an exciting dining experience over an experience that leaves you full and satisfied. It is unfortunate that you go to a hot spot for a great meal and wind up suffering hearing loss.
As more and more unhappy diners have actively started avoiding noisy restaurants, owners have started seeking solutions to their noisy problems.
Some owners turn down the volume on the music they pipe into the restaurant and problem solved. But it is more complicated for owners who have open kitchens or other factors that increase the noise in their establishments. LA Ceilings, your acoustic ceiling company in Los Angeles, offers ways to keep sound levels down at your restaurant.
