Man we have already been starting to get in deep with companies using unrealistic efficiency models for their employees based on computer models that assume a lot about how much each human behind the data point can handle. Use of facial and basic AI recognition is gonna make a lot of work feel like there is impossible standards unless their bosses can back away from max efficiency, which we know is practically impossible if the thought of profits are on the line.

Data on how long customers are staying and in which seats could be nice though just for reorganizing the seating to adjust that though.

Somehow it always feels like bosses use data to see how much more they can squeeze out of employees rather than how to make the space more enjoyable. Easy to interact with.
