Kopi Talk - My Love for fireplace in our restaurant and not burn it down ?

We are always constantly look out to improve and enhanced our restaurant ambiance , as we strongly believed that having a cozy, relaxing ambiance is the most important asset to attract recurring customers. So for example when the music level in my restaurant is too low, customer tendency and instinctively will lower their voice if they don't feel comfortable with the level of acoustic privacy in a room. They might feel inhibited at the thought of other customers being able to listen in on their conversations, and therefore speak in hushed tones. Playing the music a little louder will provide them with a greater sense of acoustic privacy and should encourage them to talk normally. From observation the way in which people speak in our restaurant is often a reflection of how comfortable they feel and how at ease they are with their surroundings. If customers are speaking in hushed tones, it's an indication that they don't feel fully at ease. When we tone down the light with dimmer down a notch for a more romantic mood but not so dim like attending funeral or you could hardly see the guest, food and light is a key component in interacting with guests nobody wants to dine in a room where they can't see their food, and in contrast, harsh or fluorescent-type light makes things, and people, look unappetizing. The goal would be to provide soft directional lighting and also to control ambient light --- available light that comes from all directions to create a soft, warm effect.We choose a lantern for light that can be moved around the room as needed. Lanterns can be glass-sided or paper lanterns similar to Chinese lanterns. The Chinese-type lanterns create more of a glow as the light is cut by the frosted paper shade. We are wanted to design a  small fireplace at the corner, However, in a warm tropical climate like Philippine seem not a practical solution , until we hit on the idea of sourcing for digital image of a fireplace like our PC screen saver, image so realistic with special effect sound . I still remembered my first  screen saver with digital high definition  32 bit colour of real life like fish swimming around in my 19 inches flat screen monitor with special sound water bubble effect, if you see it from a distance is like having an aquarium on the desk. The digital fireplace seems to be good alternative , without the fire hazard, looking for log to burn or by act of god burn down the restaurant . Seems to be good alternative provided they is no blackout , that life you cannot possible had the best of both world and perfection in life. Murphy law apply !
