When you walk into your favorite lunch spot, do you notice what’s hanging on the wall? What about the carpet, or the upholstery in the booth where you sit to eat your lunch? My guess is, probably not – but all of those design elements absolutely have an effect on what you order and why.

In episode #032 of the Social Restaurant Podcast, I welcome Geraldine Blanchot, Co-Founder of PatternPods, a start up company that works with restaurants and retailers to help blend consumer psychology with great design to create an environmental experience that entices your customers to buy more, and keep coming back.

Geraldine has spent her career as a designer, traveling the world to get inspiration for the patterns, colors and textiles that help brands and locations stick in the mind of the consumer. It’s fascinating stuff to ponder, and I know you’ll think differently about your restaurant environment after listening to this interview.
