It would’ve been cheaper,” says Chris Arnold, Chipotle’s spokesman. “But if you’re creating a restaurant, you need the right atmosphere. We’re sticklers for detail. We wanted something that belonged just to us.” With Golub, Chipotle is doing something few restaurants, even high-end ones, have tried. “It’s surprising how many Michelin-starred restaurants don’t even think of music at all,” says Charles Spence, who studies the relationship between sound and taste at Oxford University’s Crossmodal Research Laboratory. Most eateries play music, but Spence says they rarely advance beyond simple, jazz-in-a-coffee-shop, oldies-in-a-burger-joint tropes. “It’s a shame, really,” he says. “There are studies that show music with higher BPMs [beats per minute] causes people to eat faster, and if you play classical music in a wine store, people will buy more expensive wine.” Music can affect everything from perceived enjoyment of food—a 2012 Cornell University study found soft music and more formal ambience made people think the food at Hardee’s was tastier—to the amount consumed. A 2008 study at the Université de Bretagne-Sud in France said loud music in bars makes people drink more.
