Summary - Solo Dining (May/June 2016 - Extended)

One way restaurants are adapting to make meals more enjoyable for single diners is to add more single stools along bar counters. In addition, serving staff need to be trained to satisfy solo diners’ specific requirements. However, if solo diners want to be left alone, there should be quiet areas set up for them. Also, special tasting sessions should be offered so that solo diners taste more than one dish. Furthermore, they could be seated by the kitchen so they can interact more with the chefs and food preparation. Finally, managers should get the emails of customers so they can be contacted about special promotions.
