Why this restaurant never wants to do without smart service again
There are places where ambiance is everything. Where the first impression begins with the light that's on when you enter. Where a space whispers instead of shouting. One of those places is the restaurant we recently helped with our smart solutions.
A warm summer evening. Dozens of tables occupied. The service was attentive but invisible. What you couldn't see was what had changed behind the scenes. Where once it took four people to manually dim or adjust all the lights, it's now a simple touch on the wall panel. Peace. Overview. Ambience.
From hassle to control in one step
Previously, the restaurant used standard wall switches with rotary knobs and dimmers. There was no overview, no smart settings, and no way to quickly intervene when the room became too bright or too cold.
The owner said:
We were constantly chasing the atmosphere. When the sun went down, we had to quickly navigate all the dimmers. Sometimes the light in one corner was already atmospheric, while elsewhere it remained bright white. We wanted simplicity. And style.
Together we searched for a solution that suited the restaurant's character, something that exudes tranquility while simultaneously offering efficiency.
What we have posted
We installed smart dimmers and switches from Thorn , supplied by Thornwood , in a matching champagne-colored glass finish. Each zone had its own control panel, linked to a central panel. Staff could adjust the ambiance with a single touch, without interrupting their work routine.
We also linked parts of the system to a time schedule, so that it automatically switches to warm light and low intensity in the evening.
The result
Since the installation, the service has returned to a calming atmosphere. No more rushing along the walls. No more arguing about which light to turn on or off. Everything is perfect. The atmosphere, the ambiance, the rhythm. Guests experience it too.
"We're now getting compliments on how atmospheric it is. It feels natural, and that's exactly what we wanted."
What this restaurant learned
Light isn't just light. Ambience isn't a coincidence. And convenience isn't just for the home. For this restaurant, smart controls with Thorn switches and dimmers brought more than just lighting control. They brought tranquility, style, and an experience guests will remember.
