A hospitality designation for neighborhood businesses

Senioritis is a Bay Area senior care platform serving Vietnamese, Filipino, Hispanic, and Korean American families. Seniors Welcome Here is the part of our platform that works on the world outside the home — helping older adults get back into neighborhood life without turning a café or salon into a care setting.

What we are building

  • Neighborhood businesses — restaurants, cafés, bakeries, salons, and more — commit publicly to four standards of hospitality toward older customers.
  • Businesses that meet the standard display a decal and are listed in the Senioritis app.
  • A participating business may set aside seats for older customers and make them reservable. An older adult who reserves a seat is a customer of that business, purchasing hospitality: a reserved table, a meal or beverage, and a welcoming place to spend an afternoon.

Four standards of hospitality

  • A place to sit down
  • Time to complete a transaction without pressure
  • Staff who speak the customer's language, where available
  • A restroom available without asking twice

What this is not

Stated plainly, so families and businesses share the same understanding.

Not care
No business assists with medications, toileting, bathing, dressing, eating, mobility, or any health-related service.
Not supervision
No employee is assigned to any older customer. No business observes, monitors, accompanies, or tracks a customer, or controls her movements.
Not an adult day program
No business holds itself out as providing care and supervision.
Not a substitute for a caregiver
Where an older adult needs care, Senioritis provides caregivers through a separate service.

Why Join Seniors Welcome Here?

Hospitality, not care

Older adults who reserve a seat are customers purchasing hospitality — a table, a meal or beverage, and a welcoming place to spend time. Your staff owe them the same duty as any customer, and no more.

  • Families reserve a seat and time; you receive the posted minimum for that reserved hospitality.
  • If the customer spends above the minimum, your business keeps 100% of the difference — Senioritis takes no share.
  • No required senior discount or special menu.
