Tips
- Use a set price (Technique 1) for the combined meal, making it cheaper than buying items individually. For example, if the individual dishes cost 120 baht, set the meal price at 110 baht to increase the average order value (AOV).
- Consider a "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" promotion (Technique 2) to incentivize larger orders. This is often perceived as more valuable than a 50% discount.
- Use time-sensitive promotions (Technique 3), such as "Today Only" deals or limited-time offers tied to festivals or special dates, to create urgency.
- Employ price comparison (Technique 4) by showing the original price crossed out next to the discounted price, highlighting the savings.
- Use visually appealing price displays (Technique 5), such as red signage, to draw attention to special offers.
- Use round numbers (Technique 6) for ease of understanding and faster decision-making. For example, 50 baht instead of 58 baht.
- Offer complementary items (Technique 7) with round-priced meals. For example, include a small snack with a coffee to justify a higher price.
- Use prices ending in '9' (Technique 8) to create a perception of lower prices. For example, 99 baht instead of 100 baht.
- Offer free delivery (Technique 9) within a specified radius, increasing order volume by absorbing delivery costs into the food price.

FAQs
1. What is psychological pricing and why is it important for food delivery?
Psychological pricing uses numbers to influence how customers perceive value. For food delivery, it can make your prices seem more attractive and increase sales by leveraging our brain's natural biases toward certain numbers (e.g., $9.99 instead of $10).
2. Is it ethical to use psychological pricing techniques?
It's a gray area. While it manipulates perception, it's generally accepted as long as you're not misleading customers about the actual price. Transparency is key. Focus on offering real value alongside your pricing strategies.
Mastering psychological pricing isn't about trickery; it's about understanding your customer's mindset and crafting a pricing strategy that resonates with them. By implementing these nine techniques, you can optimize your menu pricing for maximum profitability and customer satisfaction. Ultimately, the key to success lies in finding the sweet spot between value and perception to drive strong sales and build a loyal customer base.
