The Sneaky Reason You Get Free Bread At Restaurants

There are a few theories as to how it might benefit restaurants who offer free bread. Though they’re only theories, the restaurant owners must believe in them a little bit to do it.
One theory is that free bread reflects a restaurant's generosity, while others suggest that it's to give hungry customers something to eat while they wait for their order.
It's even been argued that generosity in the form of free bread will prompt customers to turn around and be generous back to the restaurant, presumably by ordering more food.
In relation, free bread can push customers to spend more since the carbs in white bread can cause a blood-sugar rise, making them feel more hungry and pushing them to order more.
Free bread can also allow restaurants to serve smaller portions. If the customer indulges on bread, the restaurant can shrink the portion and save money on costly ingredients.
