Poor room acoustics makes dining a very noisy and stressful ordeal.
Speech intelligibility is particularly important for dinner meetings and interviews.
Hard surfaces increase echo, reverb time and noise, reducing speech intelligibility.
Restaurants often occupy small spaces, with limited wall area and reflective surfaces that increase echo, reverb time and noise.
Converted spaces such as retail spaces and industrial sites that are not originally constructed for restaurants pose particularly severe acoustic problems.
Rental or leased spaces have very strict noise and damage restrictions.
Large-scale construction and investment is not an option.
Allow flexibility in seating – various sized groups or individuals.
Provide a professional aesthetic look for your guests.
Install easily without damage to walls or ceilings.
