We, as visitors, may not even guess that the restaurant employees want to cheat us. Well, it's not really in such a bad sense, but still. Now I'll tell you about the tricks of the restaurants, which we ourselves are led to.
TV on the wall
Yes, of course, this is much more fun and interesting when a TV is hung on the wall in such an institution. You sit, eat, and watch something entertaining. It is the same with music. As a result, employees seek to distract the attention of visitors. The more emotional the song or movie, the more the guest will eat! Therefore, melodramas are played in restaurants and cafes more often than various kinds of interviews and news.
Artificial diversity
Have you ever thought about why and why, even in an inexpensive cafe, when serving, for example, ordinary puree, a sprig of parsley or dill is placed on top of it? Well, yes, this is aesthetics, first of all, but there is also one secret of it. In this way, workers create artificial diversity. The human brain is very easy to deceive. For example, if you show a person a lot of mixed colored candies, he will eat more than if they were arranged by color. So it is with other food. The brain, seeing a variegated variety, is overexcited, and makes a person eat more.
Rule of "golden tables"
Interestingly, in some establishments, employees specifically look out for more beautiful visitors, and offer them to sit near the windows. This way the restaurant will outwardly attract more people who pass by!
Plates are quickly removed for a reason
Do you think the dirty plate is removed from your table so quickly for your comfort? Yes, it is, but this is no longer a concern, but another clever trick. The guest is very uncomfortable at an empty table, so he decides to place another order. And let it even be some kind of inexpensive cocktail, but still!
Wine is poured on purpose
Have you noticed that when you order a bottle of wine, the waiter constantly rubs next to you and pours a drink literally every 5 minutes. At the same time, you do not have time to finish the whole glass to the bottom, and he pours it for you again! This is all done so that you finish the whole bottle without finishing your dish to the end. And in this case, you will want to order another bottle.
Tray high and low
When the waiters clear the table, they hold the tray high. This is so that dirty dishes do not catch the eye of anyone, and do not cause disgust. But when the waiter carries a delicious, beautiful expensive dish, he, on the contrary, holds the tray lower to arouse the interest of other visitors.
Meet the waiter
Some waiters, in order to get more tips from the visitor, give their name a couple of times when they introduce themselves and take the order, and once when they count the visitor. This somehow subconsciously happens, but people are happy to leave a tip to those they know at least a little.
Bonus
I'll tell you about a little unpleasant secret. There is such a rule that it fell to the floor and was raised within five seconds - it is not considered to have fallen. And this, unfortunately, applies to many restaurants. And there the rule of five seconds easily develops into a rule of ten seconds, etc.
