About Happily

A real-time trust network for NYC happy hour.

Happily is a real-time happy hour network for NYC. It helps people find where to go, what is active right now, and what they can trust - without digging through old menus, social posts, or spreadsheets. Users can discover nearby deals, compare neighborhoods on the map, save favorite spots, and help keep the city's happy hour information accurate by reporting, confirming, and correcting what they find.

Happily x Dynamicly

Intelligence behind the scenes. Happily out front.

Dynamicly is the intelligence layer behind the scenes. It helps restaurants turn cost data, demand signals, and manager-approved decisions into same-day offers that can appear on Happily for users to discover. Together, Happily and Dynamicly create a tighter loop between restaurants and guests: better information for customers, better daily decisions for operators, and a more trusted happy hour network for the city.

01

Restaurant signal

Cost data, demand signals, and daily operating context.

02

Manager decision

Human-approved same-day offers stay in the operator's hands.

03

Happily discovery

Guests find active offers nearby, by map, feed, and saved spots.

04

Trust feedback

Reports and confirmations keep the network accurate for the city.

About the team

Built by people who understand the problem.

Elias Hairatidis
Founder

Elias Hairatidis

Elias has always liked figuring out how things work, especially when the answer is buried in data. A former EY consultant with a background in public policy, mathematics, and business analytics, he grew up around a family blessed by New York City's restaurant industry and saw how missed signals and small daily inefficiencies add up fast. With Happily and Dynamicly, he's building a way to make restaurant data more trusted and useful, using AI to check and organize information without replacing the people who know the business best.
