What if a business's most marketable feature is something that customers consider an inconvenience?

I've come across businesses that don't always offer the convenience customers usually expect. Some stores only open on certain days, restaurants change their menus regularly, and others require customers to book ahead instead of simply walking in. At first, these might seem like things that would turn people away, but they can also make a business feel more unique. I'm curious if these limitations can actually become part of what makes a brand stand out rather than something it needs to fix. How can businesses turn an inconvenience into something customers are willing to appreciate?

There's a difference between making customers adjust and giving them a reason to appreciate a different way of doing business. A restaurant with a changing menu, for example, might attract people who enjoy trying something new each visit. The important part is making sure the experience feels intentional rather than poorly managed. If customers understand what makes the setup worthwhile, those limitations can actually become something that sets the business apart.
