This not only improves efficiency and convenience for customers, but also helps cinemas to increase their sales by reducing wait times and encouraging impulse purchases.

This cultural context has contributed to the popularity of concessions at cinemas, as customers see it as an integral part of their movie-watching experience. The availability of a wide range of concessions allows Italians to customize their cinema experience to their personal preferences and enjoy their favorite snacks while watching a film.
