Will great acoustics kill a buzzy vibe?
What's required to make restaurants accessible to the over 50s and people who are hearing impaired?
Are bad acoustics financially costly?
Dining out in restaurants is not just about food. It’s also about sound.
Scientific research shows that background music, noise levels and acoustics affect not only the atmosphere but also the way we taste what we eat and drink. Consumer surveys show that excessive noise is the top complaint in many restaurants with restaurant rating apps like SoundPrint and Zagat providing consumers with the tools they need to vote with their feet to find a quieter restaurant.
Join us for a panel discussion on how to get the best acoustic experiences in hospitality venues.
