    Music in Restaurants: How It Shapes Ticket Size and Table Turnover

    In restaurants music is a strategic lever: it shapes ticket size, table turnover and the perceived quality of the cuisine.

    BPM and turnover

    • 60-80 BPM: slows consumption and raises ticket size (fine dining, wine bars).
    • 100-120 BPM: speeds meals and increases turnover (lunch, fast casual).

    Genre and menu perception

    Wine-bar studies show classical music significantly raises the average bottle spend vs pop. The right music legitimizes price.
