Choosing the right music for the restaurant, café or bar is a real challenge. All elements in a restaurant should be harmoniously coordinated with one another. You must coordinate from the furnishings to the food and drinks ideas, the service quality and the music. This is an important part of the character of the restaurant.

Pro Chefs Guide: Same music can be annoying in grilling bars or restaurants

Surely everyone has experienced this before – you come to a café and somehow the music there doesn’t fit in with the rest. Or you notice that your favourite restaurant somehow plays the same music over and over again. It can also be annoying if the music is simply too loud or comes across at different volumes from song to song. What does it all lead to now? Yes, exactly, to unnecessarily negative feelings, which you then consciously or unconsciously associate with this gastronomy. And that’s only because they haven’t yet recognized the importance of music for wellbeing.

Pro Chefs Guide: Choosing the right music is a matter for you

One should not approach the subject superficially. Every gastronomy has its very own character and you have to understand how to put it in the limelight. Drinking your morning coffee in a café while leafing through the newspaper or reading the news on your tablet while listening to the music you imagined makes the day just perfect. Having the music in the background that fits ideally at lunch leaves a lasting impression on the guest. That can even be a decisive criterion for coming back.

The volume adjusted to the time of day, the music style, the selection of songs and the number of different songs are extremely important. You cannot simply leave the decision to the respective service staff. Your staff have to plan well and precisely define everything.  You have to do the composition of the songs in advance. You must do a new list for each day or week. A random generator, which compiles the music from a large pool, again and again, helps enormously. It is best that an employee is responsible for the music and is always committed to improving the musical offer. The music in a restaurant does not reflect the personal taste of the chef.
