Now, this isn’t some kind of a scam where the restaurant rips you off. The restaurant can’t make you order you something you don’t want.
No kidding. That being said, maybe this all makes more sense in the context of "stuff that doesn't work, but consultants can still sell" rather than ever mattering to the diner.
You know, there are marketing studies contradicting that. It is possible to take people who don't want things, but present things to them as having other characteristics which they do want. The end effect is people buying things they really don't want. This was done way back in the 50's - and it is the essence of propaganda.
Sometimes, being naive on a subject is dangerous. And trying to convince others about "common sense" without informed knowledge is even worse.
I didn't say anything about "common sense" though, even a little. I also didn't say anything about marketing or advertising not working, I'm just talking about this specific situation which is pretty laughable.
Yeah pretty much. Menu consultants always try to apply some sort of arcane knowledge they think restaurant people don't have, that's the only way they justify their fee.
