Sound quality...Does Your Restaurant Make the Grade?

Restaurants around the world strive to achieve the perfect balance of ambiance and dining experience, and their restaurant patrons demand nothing but the best.

That is why it is crucial to pay close attention to the room acoustics.  Large open style restaurants look great, but leave employees struggling to hear orders.  A busy restaurant means a noisy restaurants and a noisy restaurant means unhappy customers.  No one wants to hear the kitchen staff shouting orders and banging pots and pans.  Customers want to hear nothing but their own dinner conversation.

After installing our restaurant acoustic materials our clients see the real impact poor sound quality had on their business.

Bad Sound Means Bad Business

Did you know noise is the second most common complaint made by restaurant goers?  Second to service, sound quality is what customers use to determine if they will return.  After investing time and energy into developing a great menu and hiring friendly staff, don’t let it be spoiled by a restaurant too noisy to enjoy.

How Loud Does a Restaurant Get?

During the dinner rush, without proper acoustic materials noise levels in restaurants averaged that of city traffic (85 decibels) and power saws (109 decibels).  Health and safety requires hearing protection at those levels!!

As noise levels become a problem customers begin competing over each other to be heard. Your restaurant can no longer provide an intimate dining experience and you lose business.

It’s hard to blame the patrons. The restaurant’s physical layout and how sound travels is to blame. The kitchen is an exceptionally noisy place, and tables sitting near the kitchen or serving lanes can be problematic for your customers.

Several municipalities rate restaurants not just on food and level of service, but the noise volume as well. Good sound quality is essential to a thriving restaurant business.
