We’ve all salivated in anticipation when spotting our waitress carrying an assortment of goodies? ‘Eating with your eyes’ is a common phenomenon resulting in a full camera roll of plated masterpieces which ultimately flood our socials as the digital space drives our ability to share.

However, beautiful content goes beyond what is on your plate. After months of lockdown takeout food and couch meals, your customers are seeking an aesthetic environment that enhances the entire dining experience. Innovative hospitality fit-outs are an investment that keeps giving. Why not become the instagrammable background for the infamous group shot? Or go viral thanks to some cleverly constructed signage? Clever branding and a successful interior fit-out can go a long way in creating atmosphere and building customer advocacy online.

Here’s our top tips for ensuring your hospitality business stands out from the crowd.

1 |  Memorable Branding.

Branding refers to all elements that connect someone to your business. The success of any food business is driven by this connection and the customer’s resulting opinion. In hospitality, the interaction your customers have with their environment is an important one, everything from signage, uniforms, menus, and take-away packaging should be factored into your overall brand strategy. It’s easy to build up the aesthetic expectations of your bar, restaurant or café venue online and underperform in person. However, in the digital era where everyone’s a critic, this is a dangerous game to play. As they say, the proof is in the proverbial (and literal) pudding, so why not be the real deal? Developing strong physical branding that extends through out your branding and flows into an innovative fit-out is a solution that opens many opportunities. Quality construction and design invites digital interaction. When the brand is communicated effectively consumers will promote freely.
