Pasijou was a coworking space and restaurant on the south coast of Sri Lanka. I co-owned and operated it from February 2023 until March 2026, when the lease ended and the project closed.
Day-to-day operations and everything technical behind them: the network that guests worked on — routing, VPN, mesh Wi-Fi, load balancing and backup power — and the digital side of the business: ordering, analytics and guest communications.
The project reached breakeven in eight months and kept a 4.9 out of 5 guest rating while it ran. It closed in March 2026 at the end of the lease.
Running a physical business is where operations stop being abstract. Stock, staff shifts and guest messages are data problems with real consequences — the same problems I now solve for other businesses with AI.
