Frequently Asked Questions

When should cinemas send audience surveys?

Ideally 1–2 hours after the screening ends. The experience is fresh but the guest has had time to reflect on the overall visit.

What questions should a cinema survey include?

Focus on screen and sound quality, seat comfort, concession experience, staff friendliness and NPS. Keep it under 6 questions for best completion rates.

How can cinema surveys increase concession revenue?

Surveys reveal which snacks guests actually want, how they feel about pricing, and what slows them down in the queue. Data-driven menu changes consistently lift revenue.

Can I compare satisfaction across different screens?

Yes. SurveyNinja links responses to the specific auditorium and showtime. Compare scores by screen, genre and time of day.
