The experience
at the moment of leaving

What the customer notices when they leave

​​​​Why observe​

When the customer leaves, the service has already ended.

​

But the experience has not.

​

For a few moments, the customer is still in the space.

​

It is in this interval that certain things become visible.

​​

​​​​

The look

​

- Whether someone notices the customer leaving


- How the path to the exit presents itself


- What happens after payment

​​

​​

​​​​

In everyday work​

The customer heads toward the exit.

​

They may be noticed or not.
There may be a goodbye, or silence.

​

The final contact happens. Or it does not.

​

This moment lasts only a few seconds.
But it defines how the experience ends.

​

​​​​

What to observe

​​

✧ Is the customer’s departure noticed?

​​

✧ Is there any gesture of farewell?​

​​

✧ Does the service end with clarity?

​

​

✧✧✧✧✧

​​

​

A question to keep with you​

How does the experience end for someone who is leaving?
