Sir Michael Caine on experience design
I'm reading the autobiography of one of my favourite actors, and it turns out he is also a restaurant owner with some snappy ideas on experience design. From the conceptual:
"A restaurant should be like a show where you are the star when you come in, and the audience when you sit down."
To the practical:
"You should never be able to see a lightbulb."
You get your money's worth with Sir Michael.
PS There's a prize for the first reader to recognise the quote that titles this post. My money is on Andy Nulman. At the very least, he should like the picture. ;)
