Did you know that many restaurants are dangerously loud? Some restaurants can even be in violation of OSHA - for more information, click here. For information on noise issues within a restaurant, click here.
You could be getting more than you bargained for when visiting your favorite eatery. Think about your last dining experience. Did you have to raise your voice to carry on a conversation? Were you distracted or annoyed by the overpowering hum that seemed to hang heavy in the air? While many restaurant owners believe that a boisterous and busy atmosphere is part of the ambiance and charm, they could be putting their employees and patrons at risk…not to mention their bottom line.

For the Restaurant
Owner/Designer
Are you concerned about the integrity of your bottom line? What about the health
and
safety of your employees and patrons? There are numerous benefits to designing
an
acoustically correct restaurant, including:
· Reduced number of wrong orders due to miscommunications
· OSHA compliance
· Customers focus on the food rather than the chatter
Designing an acoustically correct restaurant without compromising the desired
atmosphere
is easier than you might think. The most important factor is to do so in the
design phase
when solutions are easily implemented and options are plentiful. Waiting until
the kitchen is
hustling and the customers are chomping makes it much more difficult to achieve
the
desired effect, not to mention the business disruption. Visit Acoustics.com
for tips on
designing an acoustically correct restaurant, common concerns and information
on suitable
products and materials.
