Messaging, placement, and imagery can have a tremendous impact on what diners order. The right signage and displays must reach beyond being appealing and getting noticed; they must influence the desired diner behavior – and increase average spend. Decision Insight’s DiningIQ-Merchandising solution is based on measuring actual behavior – *not* just attitudinal measures such as noticeability and appeal. By exposing respondents to a simulated restaurant (in-store or drive-thru), where diners order just as they would in real life, greater understanding is gained about awarenss of alternative merchandising executions – and, how they impact the guest order. **DiningIQ-Merchandising** is an effective and proven tool to answer: - How will various merchandising strategies impact mix of orders across the menu, and total ticket ring? - Which merchandising alternatives are most noticed? How does merchandising impact noticeability of key items across the menu? - What is the optimal theme and location for merchandising materials? - How does the merchandising impact overall brand equity?

Ultimately that impacts product mix (proportion of orders across menu items) and average ticket price. 2 #### Strategies for Food Service There are three primary strategies to growing sales in the restaurant world: 1) Attracting new customers, 2) Enticing current customers to visit more often and 3) Motivating current customers to spend more during each visit. 3 #### Best-in-Class Restaurant Research While traditional research can address new and repeat business, a DiningIQ menu-order exercise also measures behavior to gauge the effectiveness of strategies on average ticket price. ### Recent Posts [Price Predictor - Price Elasticity Reimagined](https://www.decisioninsight.com/newsletters/price-predictor-price-elasticity-analysis) September 2, 2021 ![Price Predictor - Price Elasticity Reimagined](https://www.tabsanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/price-predictor-f.jpg?length=150&name=price-predictor-f.jpg) [WHAT’S NEXT in Influencing Shoppers](https://www.decisioninsight.com/blog/what-next-in-influencing-shoppers) May 17, 2021 ![WHAT’S NEXT in Influencing Shoppers](https://www.tabsanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/omnishopper.jpg?length=150&name=omnishopper.jpg) [What next for CPGs in eCommerce](https://www.decisioninsight.com/newsletters/what-next-for-cpgs-in-ecommerce) March 25, 2021 ![What next for CPGs in eCommerce](https://www.tabsanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ecomm-shoppers-1.jpg?length=150&name=ecomm-shoppers-1.jpg) [Virtual Shopping 101: What People Say Is Not What People Do](https://www.decisioninsight.com/blog/virtual-shopping-101) March 3, 2021 ![Virtual Shopping 101: What People Say Is Not What People Do](https://www.tabsanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/what-shoppers-do.jpg?length=150&name=what-shoppers-do.jpg) [The Importance of Pricing to Shoppers and Retailers](https://www.decisioninsight.com/blog/pricing-white-paper) February 17, 2021 ![The Importance of Pricing to Shoppers and Retailers](https://www.tabsanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/lowprice-retailer.jpg?length=150&name=lowprice-retailer.jpg) ### Request More Info [Tweets by DecisionInsight](https://twitter.com/DecisionInsight?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) © 2026 TELUS.
