The thing about eating out

Singapore, being a food heaven, is full of places to fill the tummy, from the sleazy streets of Geyland with the great Beef Horfun to the roadside of Rochor for TaoHuay, to the smoky arena of Lau Pa Sat with the satay club till the angmoh favourite haunt of Newton Circus to the cool aircon arena of Ikea

ok stop.. food talk is making me hungry..

What many people are unaware is the fact that 99.9% of these popular eating places are designed with special features, money-making features. This is the strategy..

1.when one eating place is popular or has good food.. install many chairs for people

2.Make the seats in 2s(minimum) and up to 4, 6,8 etc..

3.Make sure people self-service when it comes to buying the food..

And there you are, some strategic thrust well achieved..
People who are alone can't find a place to sit
This means that a table for 2 is used as that.. 2 people sit, 2 people eat.. if the place is friendly to people who are alone.. u lose out on the other person's meal

This is because people who are alone cannot choop seats.. if he/she leaves her stuff on the table while buying food.. who to take care?

See.. such a smart move to make sure 2 person seat at 2-seat table.. this is how self-service came about lar..
