Some restaurants depend entirely on the reputation of their chefs for business while others pride themselves in carrying forward a gastronomical tradition made famous by its founder.
To celebrate a life event
Going to a restaurant is one of the most popular activities that people indulge in when they have to celebrate a major life event like anniversaries, birthdays, promotions, etc. This allows very one present to enjoy a special meal in a nicely decorated space which also provides a great social setting. The poshness of the restaurant also makes people feel more content about the quality of their celebratory meal.
To escape having to cook meals
A trip to a restaurant means that one doesn’t have to cook a meal for that part of the day. Dining out also ensures that people can enjoy an excursion out on town like going to a movie, going shopping, etc. more as they don’t have to worry about getting home early to cook and eat.
To have meetings
The restaurant business would grind to a halt if people stop frequenting these establishments for formal and informal meetings. In fact, meetings for roughly 70 percent of a restaurant’s regular business with the other segment constituting of people in the early stages of their relationship and people that cannot cook
