Color-Coding Vibes: A Simple System to Prevent Escalation

Implementing a color-coded system in restaurant settings aids in efficiently managing uncomfortable situations, thereby preventing escalation. Each color represents a specific level of discomfort: yellow indicates a bad vibe, where staff can choose to either alert a manager or retain the table; orange denotes a bad vibe coupled with an ambiguous remark, prompting mandatory manager intervention; while red signals clear sexual harassment, requiring immediate removal of the offending party.
