Why do restaurants often serve roasted peanuts before serving food? Turns out for one reason
Do you know why when going out to eat or drink beer, the restaurant often serves roasted peanuts first?
The tradition of serving roasted peanuts (peanuts) as an appetizer dates back to the 19th century. American pubs often provide customers with free roasted peanuts, pretzels and other salty snacks. Restaurants also often bring roasted peanuts to customers, even for free, before the dishes customers order are served.
Peanuts are a popular food with a relatively cheap price, easy to preserve, and suitable for many people’s tastes. Serving free peanuts to customers does not cost much but brings many benefits to the restaurant.
Giving roasted peanuts to guests before serving food is due to the following reasons:
Why are roasted peanuts served before food?
Stimulates beverage consumption
When preparing roasted peanuts, people often use other spices such as salt, cooking oil… which stimulate the taste buds and create a feeling of dry mouth and thirst after eating. This also makes customers need to drink more water, carbonated drinks or wine, beer…
Many restaurants have taken advantage of this method to introduce their drinks and increase sales. So giving you a plate of peanuts can make the restaurant’s drinks sell better! This way, the profit is even more!
Tap into customer psychology
As we all know, going to a restaurant to eat is mainly at noon and dinner, when everyone is hungry, everyone orders, and the chef in the restaurant is not a superhero, he can only serve dishes to order. order of who comes first. Therefore, those of you who often go to restaurants know that there are often customers who are urged to get angry while eating. Therefore, when they have a little food to nibble on while waiting, they will feel more comfortable, thereby reducing many unpleasant words or dissatisfaction about the restaurant’s service speed.
Increase the number of returning customers
Although a plate of peanuts is insignificant, for diners, they can feel the care. As for the restaurant’s reputation, psychologically they will be the first to notice it. If the food suits your preferences, you will easily become a regular customer of this store. Even when a friend asks which store is delicious, you will actively recommend it! Therefore, using a plate of peanuts to attract new customers is just a small calculation of the shop owner!
Lots of cool benefits
Increase feeling of fullness
When waiting for their food, many people will accidentally eat all or half of the peanuts. By the time the main dish is brought out, you will no longer feel as hungry as when you first arrived. This will create the “illusion” that the restaurant has a large amount of food! If the amount of food is not much, at least this plate of peanuts can play a “helping” role, so that customers feel full without feeling that the amount of food is small.
Prevents sickness
Eating roasted peanuts for dessert also helps prevent hangovers better than having nothing to eat. Normally, if there are no roasted peanuts, when the dish is brought up, people will usually drink before picking up the food. If there are roasted peanuts, lining the stomach with fatty foods such as peanuts can help “rinse” the stomach, help the guest get drunk longer, increase the need to drink and also be less “dangerous” for the guest.
