I’m not a software engineer. For over a decade, I worked in the local hospitality scene in Kanagawa, Japan—bartending, running bars, and helping popup food events.

In the local business world, you face a quiet, painful truth every day: no one teaches you how to get customers.

You are exhausted from cooking, cleaning, and managing staff. You know you need to do "marketing," but you don't know what that means on a Monday morning. There were no tools that told me exactly what to do next.

So, I decided to build one. I called it Growl.
