Let’s be honest, a good combo offer on our favorite food or restaurant brings us joy. In retrospect, you might notice how often we subconsciously select combo meals over a la carte? It is pretty interesting to think about. In a study named Consumption Effects of Bundling, conducted by Professor Kathryn Sharpe of the University of Virginia, it was found that people prefer meal combos over a la carte or single menu items, irrespective of their sizes or even worth. So, what could be the reason behind this consistent behavior?
Less thinking more eating
Be it in a restaurant or simply ordering in, choosing what to eat can be a difficult question to answer. Having a reluctantly long menu in hand when you are already hungry, is the ultimate nightmare we all want to avoid. Guess what, meals & combo offers are here to save the day. Dishes that complement each other are presented together in adequate quantity and variety to make it a perfect meal. All you have to do is to select the combo you like most, and voila, you are done. Even the drink that goes with it has been chosen, all the work is done for you.
Save your math skills for school
Let’s assume you’ve figured out your multiple a la carte orders, which means now you know what all dishes you want to order. Next you need to figure out all their prices and put them together with all the taxes to get the final amount due. What if all this is pre-done for you? Yes, that’s what your combo menu does. It tells you the overall amount you’ll be paying for those dishes together and saves you from a mental workout.
Savings are important
Whether it’s a fancy expensive dinner night or just a regular order-in, we have a budget in mind and order according to that. So having all the different dishes you want might take a toll on your budget, here’s when our savior combo meals come into action. Having multiple dishes on your plate without you having to pay for all of them separately is like a hack.
Combos are a smart buy
How many times have you ordered a la carte for just yourself and not ended up finishing them? Almost always we end up leaving left-overs because the food portions served in maximum single menu dishes are actually not meant for a single person. So the only solution remains is to either stick to only one dish order or get some more people to eat with you. Both don’t sound convenient. This is when combo meals can save your day by providing separate dishes in adequate portions for a person. You don’t waste food nor over eat.
Why eat boring?
Eating your favorite dish as a meal sounds like a treat. But having to eat it without any sides, beverages, etc. can leave you unsatiated and take the joy out of it. Having a variety of delicious foods served before you not only enhances your meal experience and gives your taste buds variation but also saves you from getting bored of your food. Here’s where meal combos win the deal with an interesting variety that’ll build your appetite and love for food.
The extra goodness
Who doesn’t love an extra bit of goodness with their regular comfort food? Let’s assume you order rice, chapati and a side dish daily, what if you get a Gulab Jamun with it? You’ll feel like the sweet is an extra bit of joy that you received with your daily tasty food. This is exactly how meal combos are supposed to make you feel. With the added goodness alongside your daily tasty food, you receive the ultimate happy meal experience.
