Real-Time Service Operations

Own the
90 Minutes.

Between the reservation and the check is the part of the guest experience nobody has owned.

Happy Chair helps restaurant teams see important service moments while there is still time to act.

The guest experience happens in between.

The 90-minute gap

The worst time to discover a service problem is after the guest leaves.

The review.

The complaint.

The comp.

The guest who simply never comes back.

Service moves faster than visibility.

A simple belief

Nobody should feel invisible.

Guests, staff and important moments can be missed even when good people are doing good work.

Visibility is care.

The guest is still at the table.

You still have time to change the experience.

You can't be at every table.

But you should know when one needs attention.

Product principle

Right now, most service moments are assumed, forgotten, gone.

Assigned. Timed. Logged.

Assigned

Clear ownership instead of assumption.

Timed

Know when something has been waiting too long.

Logged

Important service moments don't disappear when the shift ends.

That is the difference between a moment and a record.

The missing layer

Restaurants have a system for almost everything.

Real-Time Service Operations is the operational layer for what happens while the guest is actually there.

What changes for the restaurant?

01Important service moments surface earlier.

02Managers get a clearer view of the room.

03Ownership becomes visible.
