You’ve booked the restaurant, the food is immaculate and the interior is beautiful… The only problem is you can’t hear a word anyone at your table is saying.
We’ve all been in this situation and it isn’t a pleasant experience.
Bad acoustics is a common problem in the hospitality industry and for restaurant owners, this can seriously affect business…
Why Are Noisy Restaurants So Common?
Let’s face it, restaurants are noisy places.
Between the clattering of plates, a conversation between staff, the laughter of the big group in the corner and all of the noises that come out of the kitchen, a bit of background noise are really unavoidable.
Additionally, the modern minimalist style that is so prominent in restaurants and cafes nowadays may look good but isn’t easy on the ears.
These materials tend to reflect sound and create an echo in the space, making speech intelligibility difficult.
However, you shouldn’t let the noise ruin the ambience.
When it comes down to it, a noisy atmosphere can seriously damage your customers’ experience and your business… you’ll want to find some solutions ASAP.
Sound-Friendly Furnishings
Ultimately, you want to incorporate materials into your decor that absorb sound. This can be furnishings or items with a softer finish for maximum absorbency.
These include:
- Booths and cushioned seats
- Curtains
- Carpet
- Indoor plants
With the right colour pallet and stylings, you can easily make these fittings modern and stylish.
