High noise levels are the enemy within your restaurant. How and why you should deal with it. Explanation of the reasons why some restaurants and coffee shops are so noisy, the effect it has on your customers and staff and how it can be effectively treated to make a visit to your restaurant a more pleasurable experience.
Seminar Theatre 10, Tuesday 27th September only
The importance of acoustics in restaurant design. Acoustic in restaurants is becoming an increasingly important topic. In many ways it affects our perception of a space and also our appreciation of food. We will see why acoustic is important, what is its role in the experience of the restaurant. We will look at specific ways of dealing with acoustic and consider how it can be an intrinsic part of the design.
