- krisoft 3y agoI mean, can’t we? If a place wants to they can just add a wifi network with a captive portal which leads patrons to a table-to-table chat system. Or a QR code per table with a flashing light next to it so you know your table have a message even if you haven’t got your phone out. I bet it will be cheaper and easier to maintain than installing pneumatic tubes to every table too.

- krisoft 3y agoThat is not a “we can’t do it” problem. That is a “they don’t want to do it” problem. If you want it and you think it is cool you can have prototypes in a day max. Making it usable enough so even drunk people won’t need help using it will take longer, but it is certainly more manageable than the vacuum tubes as a hobby project.
