The commissioner for this product-based thesis is Scandic Simonkenttä. This product- based thesis aims to enhance the customer experience through sensory perception in the case company restaurant Más. The objectives focused significantly on sense perception and how to use sense stimulation in restaurant premises.

Secondary analysis was conducted to gather data on sensory perception and the topic of experience creation. Based on the data, literature research was created to support the cre- ated product. Other factors, such as engram and synaesthesia, were studied to gain depth into the research and to deepen the created product further.
Author’s own framework includes the most relevant topics gathered from the literature re- search and concludes them to one cohesive table. The author used the framework to de- sign and develop his product to the final extent. The primary research, a quantitative semi- structured questionnaire, and a qualitative semi-structured interview were conducted to in- clude the employees' initiatives and the management team of Scandic Simonkenttä. The questionnaire included 13 questions for the seven employees working in restaurant Más. The author also conducted three qualitative interviews for the management team.

It is a practical handbook which can be used in the process of developing the restau- rant concept.
