It’s an interesting evolution that makes a lot of sense. Culturally bars are on the money. Cocktail culture has also developed significantly.

If you think music in restaurants is just about setting a "vibe," think again. Alyson Krueger's article in The New York Times dives into the fascinating science of music curation in dining spaces — a great read for anyone who's ever wondered who picked that song while munching on charred baby carrots with harissa yogurt dressing. Restaurants like Simon Kim’s Cote and Coqodaq in Manhattan are taking music curation to a whole new level. Kim pays such close attention to tempo that he’s practically conducting an orchestra. Slow, mellow tunes at the beginning of the evening set the stage for a relaxed dining experience, while faster beats later on energize the crowd, creating a crescendo that peaks right when the meal does. This attention to musical detail isn't just to set a mood—it’s about crafting a full sensory experience. In contrast, higher-priced restaurants that focus on gastronomy—like SingleThread in Healdsburg—often play slower, instrumental music. The purpose isn’t to just enhance the atmosphere, but to help diners slow down and engage with the food, fostering a deeper, more reflective experience. The tempo, or lack thereof, supports a deliberate pace for the meal, allowing the flavors to linger as long as the conversation. On the flip side, at places like Dunsmoor in Los Angeles, the playlist is hip-hop heavy and fast-paced, designed to match the energy of the food and the crowd. Music like this doesn’t just fuel the ambiance; it fuels the entire evening—hurrying diners along, curating a crowd that’s there for the high energy and intensity. What this article underscores is that the right music isn’t just a backdrop—it shapes how food tastes, how long diners stay, and even the type of crowd that shows up. Whether it's fast beats to turn over tables quickly in a bustling restaurant or slower tracks to savor each bite in a fine dining setting, the music you hear defines how you experience what’s on your plate. This is a great read that demonstrates just how powerful the role of sound is in hospitality. Highly recommend reading it while eating an overpriced farm-to-table porchetta sandwich with microgreen. #SonicBranding #RestaurantCulture #ExperienceDesign #MusicMatters #CustomerExperience #NYTimes

Think of the last good meeting you had. One that felt like a valuable use of your time. Maybe it was highly collaborative. Or very productive. Or just enjoyable. Who was in that meeting with you? How many people were there? What’s your relationship with them like? What was the underlying/overarching dynamic? What was the topic? Now think of the last miserable meeting you had. One that felt like a complete waste of time. That couldn’t end fast enough. Same Qs there. But now compare the two. What patterns do you see? Are there differences in terms of which departments people work in? Which levels they are at? How many attendees there are? What was discussed? The delta should give you some decent indicators as to why your good meetings are good and bad meetings are bad.?And some ideas for how to start making improvements. Some issues might be able to be solved in meeting design. Others are symptoms of deeper dynamic issues within the org. Either way, shedding some light on the comparative highs and lows of existing meeting rhythms can be a helpful exercise in improving the way your team(s) make(s) use of their precious time together. --- Thoughts sparked by this discussion on meetings with Sam Spurlin and Rodney Evans. And I'm not easily impressed, but I'm thoroughly —?if not unreasonably — impressed with The Ready's content game. ??/??
