Industry research continues to validate a key restaurant revenue-driving principle: The longer guests stay at their tables, the greater the profitability. A 2004 foundational study by Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration examined 1,400 meal transactions at a 210-seat Mexican restaurant. Researchers found that booths encouraged longer visits and generated higher sales per minute compared with other seating options of guest comfort. Today, with consumer behavior shifting toward experience-driven spending, this insight remains as relevant as ever.
