Acoustics is a need of every Restaurant
A recent survey revealed a surprising truth: behind poor service, the second biggest complaint from diners is noise. For restaurant owners in Oman, this is a critical piece of feedback. A noisy restaurant doesn’t just annoy customers; it can directly impact your bottom line.
In a loud environment, the chances of staff making errors with orders triples. This leads to wasted food, frustrated customers, and a negative dining experience. What’s more, diners value their privacy. If they can’t hold a conversation without shouting over the clatter of dishes and the conversations at the next table, they are unlikely to return.
Online review platforms are now including noise levels in their ratings. Restaurants are being rated as “quiet,” “moderate,” or “energetic,” and this is influencing where people choose to dine. Some cities are even starting to officially rate restaurants on their noise levels alongside food and service.
The Problem with Hard Surfaces
The trend towards open kitchens and industrial design has introduced more hard surfaces like concrete, glass, and metal into restaurant design. While aesthetically pleasing, these materials reflect sound, creating echo and reverberation that amplifies noise. The result? A cacophony of sounds that can reach levels comparable to city traffic.
