How to Increase Perceived Value in Your Bar
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When guests say your bar is too expensive, they may not be talking about price.
They may be talking about value.
In this episode, I talk about perceived value: the gap between what guests pay and what they feel they received.
We break down where guests form that value judgment, from your Google profile and first 90 seconds to your menu, staff language, physical touch points, table checks, and send-off.
Because price is just the number on the menu.
Value is the story your whole bar tells before, during, and after the visit.
If guests are coming in less often, spending less, or saying things feel too pricey, this episode is for you.
Your prices may not be the problem.
Your value signals might be.
