Title: How Descriptive Menu Labels Influence Attitudes and Repatronage.
Authors: Wansink, Brian; Painter, James; van Ittersum, Koert
Abstract: How do descriptive menu labels influence customers? In a sixweek field experiment involving 140 customers, descriptive menu labels (such as "Grandma's zucchini cookies" or "succulent Italian seafood filet") increased sales by 27% and improved attitudes towards the food, attitudes towards the restaurant, and intentions towards repatronage. Such labels did not, however, directly increase the amount a person is willing to pay for the labeled item. If descriptive labels are used sparingly and appropriately, they can improve sales and post-consumption attitudes of the food and the restaurant.
