Why Happy Chair
Hospitality has a visibility problem.
Restaurants have systems for who is coming, what was ordered, who is working and what was paid. But the guest experience itself still unfolds largely through human observation and memory.

The most human part of the restaurant is often the least visible.
The quiet problems
The guest who never complains.
The request everybody thought
somebody else had.
The manager who learns
about the issue at checkout.
The great shift nobody
can explain or reproduce.
The question that started it
What would hospitality feel like if the restaurant could see an important need before the guest had to repeat it?
Nobody should feel invisible.
Visibility is care.
