Could you build this?
Partial Building a cafe directory website or mobile app is trivial, but sourcing real-time seat availability, live crowd levels, and actual verified WiFi metrics requires physical sensors or active crowd-sourced network effects.
What it would actually take: The frontend and backend are standard full-stack components (Next.js, Supabase, Google Places API). The difficult problem is acquiring real-time ground truth data on seating, noise, and power outlets, necessitating either IoT sensor hardware, scraping commercial foot-traffic APIs (like BestTime or SafeGraph), or solving a severe cold-start community reporting challenge.
