Restaurant & Bar Scenting
Restaurants need scent in the right places — entrance, lounge, and restroom corridor — and nowhere near food. Autivora's cold-air system gives precise per-zone control with food-area exclusions clearly documented.

Coverage
150–500 sqft (entrance/lounge zones)
Considerations
- NEVER in dining room or kitchen — interferes with food evaluation
- Entrance, host stand, bar, and restroom corridor only
- Coordinate with chef on profile so it does not clash with cuisine
Common Questions
Will the scent interfere with food taste perception?
Yes if placed near tables. Diffusing in the dining zone is the #1 mistake in restaurant scenting. Restrict to entry, lounge, and corridor.
What works for a fine-dining restaurant?
Subtle warm woods at the entrance only. Avoid sweet, gourmand, or citrus — they cue informal dining and confuse the room cue.
Is this practical for a small restaurant to operate?
Yes. Typical restaurant deployment is 2 units (entrance + lounge/bar). Total cost: ~$300 in devices, ~$60/month in oils.
