How long do you look at that menu before deciding? Why you should hurry up...

The next time you’re dining out - order the first thing that catches your eye...

A recent study analyzed the way we choose our food and measured satisfaction. For the experiment, volunteers were asked to pick a piece of chocolate from an assorted box. Those who chose the fastest were more satisfied than those who agonized and analyzed each piece.

When ordering from a menu, your first gut instinct is usually the best. You can enhance the experience by closing the menu as soon as you decide. That simple gesture triggers psychological closure and can increase confidence and overall satisfaction of your choice.
