One of the main takeaways from our study is how luxury restaurants preserve mystery to create excitement and inspire customers to visit. So-called “low-mystery” signals (like in-depth descriptions of dishes) hype up the restaurant. But elements of the experience that mark it as luxury (the service, ambience and ingredients, for example) can be strategically curbed in social media posts – “high-mystery” signals. In this way, the restaurant can hope to provoke a sense of surprise and awe in customers once they arrive.
