Straight answers
What if our cafe or restaurant doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For business automations specifically, we typically run that work on n8n, Make, Zapier, Vercel Functions, Cloudflare Workers and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
Do you have proof this works for cafes and restaurants?
Direct case study: Average client recovers 12 hours/week within the first 60 days. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
What does business automations cost for a cafe or restaurant?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
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.
