    "The Psychology of Portion Control: How Smaller Plates Can Save Food and Your Bottom Line"
    2025/03/05
    In the latest episode of "The Industry" podcast by SPB Event Services, the concept of 'plate psychology' is explored. The host introduces the strategy of reducing plate size to control portion sizes, cut down on food waste and improve the bottom line for businesses. The discussion reveals that when businesses switch from larger 10 3/4 inch plates to smaller 8 3/4 inch plates, customers perceive their plates as fuller, resulting in feelings of satisfaction with less food. This tactic taps into the Delboeuf Illusion, a psychological principle which states that smaller plates can make portions appear larger. The host underscores that not only does this strategy manage waste and cost but also creates a more sustainable approach to serving food.

Emphasizing that smart preparation and forward planning can elevate a meal into a memorable experience, the podcast encouraged hosts to provide a delightful culinary experience to their guests.

    The podcast episode of "The Industry" brought to us by SPB Event Services explores the world of pricing strategy in the event services industry. It focuses on the concept of dual quoting as a critical tool in linking client satisfaction with profit. The host explains that dual quoting involves initially offering a 'Rolls-Royce' service where the peak cost reflects the full range of services available, albeit it may appear intimidating. The second quote is an economical alternative still providing quality services but on a smaller scale. It's about offering clients a choice leading to a deeper connection. Furthermore, the importance of follow-up communication to keep businesses at the forefront of a client's mind is emphasized. The podcast concludes on the note that effective pricing strategies stem from a combination of psychology, strategic thinking, and genuine consideration for the client's needs.
