The Science of Menu Psychology: What Makes Customers Order More??

If you’re a foodpreneur, your menu is not just a list—it’s your most powerful sales tool. Here’s how to make it work smarter for you:

🎯 1. Highlight High-Margin Items:

Place them in the top right corner—where eyes naturally go first. Use boxes, bold fonts, or special icons to subtly draw attention.

🧠 2. Use Descriptive Language:

“Paneer Butter Masala” becomes “Creamy Paneer in Spiced Butter Gravy.” Descriptive names can increase sales by 27%.

👀 3. Avoid Currency Signs:

₹ signs remind customers they’re spending. Removing them leads to higher spending. Try “99” instead of “₹99.”

🍽️ 4. Limit Choices:

Too many options = confusion. Group 6-7 dishes per category max. This simplifies decisions and boosts order rates.

💥 5. Add a “Chef’s Recommendation” Section:

This adds authority and subtly nudges customers toward certain dishes—especially your best-sellers or highest margin items.
