6 Signs of a Great Restaurant. How Do Customers Choose You?

We are discussing something other than regular customers who have already decided to sit at one of your tables again. We are talking about those still looking for a good time, using the Internet or their own feet. They study pictures on websites and Instagram or comb the streets, look at signs, and squint at windows and other people’s plates. What will make them calm down and order from you? We have counted seven main parameters by which people make decisions.

First. Exterior and interior.

Not everyone will judge an establishment by its location and facade, but there are some. You can focus on them and spend vast amounts of money on arrangements in a fashionable area. Or focus on a modest wrapper with an outstanding candy inside. It’s up to you, but the best restaurants in Lahore should be well-groomed on the outside, and its interior must be conducive to a pleasant pastime. Remember that the average patron of a public catering establishment is conscious and understands that pompous mansions in the style of Louis XIV affect the bill amount but do not affect the food quality.

Second, The public.

Only recently, it was believed in Pakistan that there were few people in expensive restaurants. They are so luxurious that not everyone can afford them. But this is a mistake: an empty establishment is a lousy establishment. If the restaurant is worth it, it will be filled. Even exorbitant prices will not scare away visitors. In such places, there should be a slight bustle or a real whole house so that the servers scurry back and forth, and the visitors watch what is on their trays with interest.

Third Service.

Communication can begin from the threshold or earlier – when a person asks a question, writes a comment, or books a table through a website, on Instagram, or any other platform. The staff should be neat and tidy, polite and courteous. Hire those who know when to stop – do not fuss or drag their feet, do not behave arrogantly, and do not “fraternize” with visitors.

Fourth Menu.

In decent establishments, the menu does not resemble the first volume of “War and Peace,” and it bears little resemblance to a collection of Chekhov’s stories. The kitchen cannot perfectly prepare a good hundred dishes without resorting to freezing. And if freezing is practiced, you can’t count on fresh products. Therefore, the ideal option is five hot dishes, appetizers, and desserts. The opposite is valid with the wine list because the more extensive it is, the better.

Fifth. The cuisine.

Who would return to you if the dishes were so-so? Delicious food is one of the fundamental signs of the best restaurants in Islamabad. Let the menu offer a few options, but each will be delicious—from the ingredients to the presentation. You can provide aromatic tea or a glass of wine to compliment the client.

Sixth. Cleanliness and order.

Sparkling windows and floors, crisp tablecloths and napkins made of natural fabrics, dishes polished to a shine, and the smell of cleanliness are mandatory conditions. Nothing should be unnecessary on the tables, so do not try to lay out catalogs, magazines, and brochures. It is better to recheck the restroom, which must be cleaned after each client. A dirty toilet suggests unsanitary conditions in the kitchen.

Every restaurateur should sometimes visit competitors to look at other people’s possessions with an unclouded gaze and notice “logs in your own eyes.” Using this simple practice, you will easily find answers to questions: why there are fewer clients, what should be emphasized, how to increase sales, etc.

The ability to choose a table by photo and book is one way to attract guests to your website, Instagram, or any other platform. Just start using the Gulberg restaurant.
