Say you own a restaurant with 100 tables. Each night someone needs to manually go and blow the candle out or turn it off. Now you can turn them all on and off simultaneously and remotely. Additionally, if its a LED candle you might be able to monitor the battery status remotely.
Probably not cost effective in the long run, but that depends on the cost of labor.
- icebraining 10y agoThe candle doesn't seem replaceable, so you'd need to buy another of these smart t̶u̶r̶d̶s̶ candles every time. Considering that those restaurants keep them lit for hours, that would be insanely expensive.
- EliRivers 10y agoEach night someone needs to manually go and blow the candle out or turn it off. I've developed an app and wait staff tracking system that allows restaurateurs to keep track of where the staff are going to be in the normal course of their duties and find high-efficiency ways to add tasks such as candle extinguishing. During our closed-beta, it turned out that in such restaurants, the staff had to visit each table anyway for the purposes of cleaning and restocking between diner occupations, and again at the end of service; our app ensures they get additional training and reminding to blow out the candle while they're there. We're opening to investors next week.
- jrowley 10y agohaha I was just spitballing an idea. But very good point. I'd like to invest.
