NOTE

Curated Playlists for Restaurants

Restaurants can either opt for a hands-off music selection service where an algorithm picks the music or invest in personalized playlist curation services from experts like Doug and Megan. These experts actively curate music to achieve specific outcomes, manipulate human behavior, and create the desired restaurant vibe. By cycling out playlists regularly, such as updating them by 20% monthly, establishments like Free Birds in Texas saw an increase in staff retention solely from changing the music. Customized playlists for different times of the evening ensure that both staff and customers have a tailored music experience, enhancing the overall dining ambiance. While effective, hiring such services may not be feasible for all restaurants due to cost constraints in an industry with tight profit margins.
