TL;DR
Rodeo Goat and The Girl & The Fig use creative restroom names to enhance customer experience. Firehouse Subs also uses themed restroom names, such as 'Firemen' and 'Firewomen'.
Forget the little boy’s room – why not take a trip to the Billy? Or, if you’re a woman, try powdering your nose in the Nanny. Those are the names for men’s and women’s restrooms at the Rodeo Goat in Dallas, and it’s just one way the eatery spices things up for visitors.
It’s a tiny thing, no doubt, but it’s also an easy thing, and it can get people talking, according to Nation’s Restaurant News. So why aren’t more franchises doing it?
At The Girl & The Fig in Sonoma, Calif., visitors don’t even have to look for a word – either a male or female doll hangs outside the appropriate restroom.
Meanwhile, Firehouse Subs works in its brand with rooms for “Firemen” and “Firewomen.”
