Have you ever pressed one of those green or red smiley buttons in an airport, a store, or even a restroom and wondered if anyone actually looks at the results?

In this episode of Doing CX Right®, Stacy Sherman talks with Miika Mäkitalo, CEO of HappyOrNot, the company behind those little feedback buttons found in airports and retail locations around the world. Together, they explore what millions of quick taps reveal about how customers really feel and what most companies miss after collecting the data.

What if the frustration at a self-checkout, an empty shelf, or a dirty bathroom was worth millions in lost loyalty?
What if the real problem isn't feedback fatigue, but leadership inaction?
And what happens when teams are rewarded for listening instead of guessing?

It's a conversation that might change the way you think about every small moment a customer decides whether to come back, refer or not!

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
