AI for service businesses, from a business owner who spent 20 years in commercial kitchens.
Hi there, my name is Adrian, I spent around 20 years working in commercial kitchens before starting Goblin Media Network, so I know what it is like to run on thin margins, long hours and not enough hands, and I know the last thing you need is someone selling you software you will never use. What I do is look at how your business actually runs day to day, find the jobs that eat your time, and work out whether AI can take some of that off you, sometimes it can, sometimes it can't, and I will tell you straight either way.
What happens when you build systems you don't actually need?
WHERE DO YOUR HOURS ACTUALLY GO?
How much of your week goes on emails, bookings, quotes and chasing invoices? How much of that actually needs you, and how much of it just needs doing? If you have had to stop and think about either of those, that is where we start.
HOW IT WORKS - THE DIAGNOSTIC
It starts with a discovery call, we go through the basics of your business and I lay out exactly what happens next, then I send over the documents and agreements, and once those are signed the diagnostic begins, I go through how the business runs, where the time goes and what is costing you the most, then I write it up in plain English, what could be automated, what couldn't, what it would cost, what it would realistically save and where it could go wrong, so you can decide with the full picture in front of you.
AFTER THAT
If it makes sense to carry on, I build it, run it and look after it for you on a retainer, so you are not left holding a system nobody understands. If it doesn't make sense, I will say so, and you keep the write-up either way.
WHAT I WON'T DO
I won't promise you magic, AI is useful but it is not going to run your business for you. I won't sell you something you don't need, if a spreadsheet does the job better, I will tell you that. I also won't build anything I can't explain to you, if you can't see how it works, you shouldn't have to trust it.

How we think about this
Try Calcra to start. Take the Snapshot if you're not sure. Take the audit if you want something built — the documents are yours either way.
What we won't do: vague calls, strategy decks, or anything where the price comes before the picture.
