AI social media for cafes and restaurants.
The version of AI social media that cafes and restaurants still use a year after launch.
Rosters that account for 11 public holidays, including Matariki, plus your anniversary day, without a spreadsheet.
How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
What years of building for cafes and restaurants taught us.
Hospitality runs on thin margins where a missed booking, a bad review left unanswered, or a slow roster costs real money.
Reservations, reviews, and rostering are the recurring admin that pulls owners off the floor.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Built around how New Zealand works.
Social posts drafted in your voice around local events and seasons, scheduled and approved without taking your evening.

Straight answers
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
What's a typical engagement length for cafes and restaurants?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Anyone else in this space using AI social media?
Plenty. Posting cadence up 5x, hours spent per week down to one. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
Do you work with Xero?
Yes. Xero is one of the systems we build around, and we connect to the other tools you already run rather than asking you to switch.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
