Music is one of the very powerful artistic elements. Whether they are good or bad, it affects emotions. It can soothe or energize. Music is one of these elements, which can be used as the focus of others alone, or as a background element that is conducive to the overall atmosphere. When people think of the word atmosphere, people usually think of a person's environment. The atmosphere of a restaurant can be described as "spatial aesthetics used to trigger a conscious space design and produce a certain effect among customers".

An approachable behavior involves reacting by moving the body. For restaurant owners, it’s important to understand why people react to certain circumstances in a certain way. People often react to the atmosphere in different ways for various reasons, which in turn causes them to approach or avoid the atmosphere.

The catalyst for any of these reactions is music. The music in a restaurant often has a major influence on whether a person decides to approach or avoid the restaurant. A survey was conducted among four diners of some diners to understand the influence of music on restaurants. 80% of people said that they like to hear background music when eating out in a restaurant. Those who like to listen to background music in restaurants gave the following reasons:

• 71% of people said that they would feel more romantic when playing "excellent background music".

• 74% of people said that playing high-quality background music means they are more likely to enjoy a meal.

• 78% of people said that a restaurant that creates high-quality background music can relax them. A survey was also conducted to show why the music in restaurants caused customers to approach or avoid establishment. Those who like to listen to music in restaurants gave the following responses to their actions:

• 39% said that if they stop playing background music, they will go to the restaurant more frequently.

• 41% said that if they stopped playing background music, they would consider going to another restaurant.

• Fifty-six percent of the respondents indicated that they would prefer to recommend a restaurant that plays background music rather than a restaurant that does not play background music.

• 64% of respondents said that the high-quality background music of the restaurant encourages them to stay there longer.

• 67% said that the background concert made them revisit the restaurant. Not only does music have a significant impact on customer behavior in the enterprise, but the type of music played will also become a factor in most restaurants.

Another study was about customer behavior in restaurants, which used "music loudness" as an independent variable. In the eight experiments, the music changed from loud to soft. This survey shows that when slow music is played, customers spend more time dining than fast music. It is found that the rhythm of the music has a significant impact on the restaurant’s food and beverage spending. Depending on the target audience of your restaurant, the music played in your restaurant should complement the atmosphere. If you are in a high-end restaurant, your customers are unlikely to enjoy heavy metals at candlelight dinners. In 2003, psychologist Adrian North (Adrian North) conducted a study on the differences in music played at different times in an 18-month restaurant.
