Uniqueness Can Keep Customers Going Back To Certain Restaurants!
A restaurant that is a treehouse-like Norwood’s in New Smyrna Beach, FL is certainly making people come back! In some cases, it’s delicious food; it can be the atmosphere and ambiance that create a uniqueness people can’t resist. Perhaps it’s the service or server, or the feeling of being recognized by everyone on staff when you walk through the door. Maybe it’s the feeling of belonging you that you haven’t been able to find in any other restaurants. Most of the things I mentioned aren’t things you can eat, but they’re every bit as important to a restaurant’s success or failure.
I’m not saying the food is not important of course it is. The point is we often forget how important the non-food elements of a restaurant are in creating a positive and enjoyable impression on customers.
