Restaurants Should Avoid the $ Sign

Friday, August 15th, 2008

Studies show that menus using a numerical price format without the “$” symbol yielded, an average, $5.55 more in spending than menus with prices printed with either a dollar sign or written script.

If I owned a restaurant, I would consider taking out the $ sign on my menu. Let’s face it, restaurants are having a tough time making money with current economic conditions.  With more customers saving money by opting to eat at home, restaurants need to maximize revenue opportunity with existing customers. If you told me all it took to make an extra $5.55 per table was to take out a $ sign on a menu, I would go for it.
