Ninety-six questions about your shop. A roadmap that knows what has to happen first.
Ask any AI what to automate and you get twenty good ideas in no particular order. This tells you which one has to be first, which three break if you do them out of order, and where you are already paying for something you are doing by hand.
What comes back
Not a score. Not a list of symptoms. A build order, with the dependencies marked, written so you could hand it to your own people or your own AI and actually get something built.
Findings from your answers
Every item says which answer produced it. Nothing generic to restaurants gets bolted on to pad the report.
Things you never mentioned
Groundwork you did not raise, included because something you did raise cannot be built without it first.
What the current way costs
Hours per week or month where we can estimate it honestly from your answers. Time, not invented dollar figures.
Who should do each one
You, someone on your team, a free call with software you already pay for, or someone comfortable with APIs and databases.
What not to automate
The work that should stay in a person's hands, and the work that is a good idea later and a bad one right now.
A prompt for each phase
Copy one block into whichever AI you use. It carries that phase only, so you get help finishing it rather than a fresh list of everything.
Why the order matters more than the list
Here is a real chain out of the restaurant map. Every step depends on the one above it, and the thing most owners want to buy first sits at the bottom.
Getting to true profit on a job
- Put the whole job on one repair order, start to finish
- Have technicians clock to the job rather than to a shift
- Get parts ordering writing back to the job with real costs
- Track what goes back to suppliers, cores and wrong parts alike
- Compare hours produced against hours paid, per technician and per job type
Most shops try to measure technician productivity first, because it feels like the problem. It cannot be measured until the job holds the parts cost and the punches, and until credits for returns actually reach the job. Do it in the wrong order and the number you get is wrong in a way that looks convincing.

Questions
How long does the questionnaire take?
About 30 minutes. 96 questions across 20 short pages, nearly all of them tap to answer. Your answers stay on the page until you submit, so you can stop and come back.
Why can I not just ask AI what to automate?
You can, and it will give you twenty good ideas with no order to them. It will not tell you which one has to be first, or that two of them will produce nothing until a third is done. The order is the part that decides whether any of it works, and it is the part a general model has no way to know about your business.
Is the report generated by AI?
No. Your answers run through a rules engine built on a dependency map we wrote. Your answers never pass through a third-party model. A systems architect reads the roadmap before it is delivered, and the report says who reviewed it and when.
What does the report actually contain?
Between 45 and 82 findings grouped into phases, each with what to do, how long it takes, who should do it, what has to happen first, what finishing it unblocks, and what technology replaces the manual work. Plus roughly 87 hours a month of current manual effort, itemised, and what you should not automate.
Will it tell me what to charge, or what to spend?
No. We are not business, marketing or legal advisors. We look at where work is manual, where the same information gets entered twice, where systems do not talk to each other, and what technology would replace that. What you do with the time you get back is yours.
Can I do the work myself?
Most of it. A typical shop report has around 29 items the owner can do alone, 27 somebody on the team can handle, and 9 that take one free call with software you already pay for. About 17 need somebody comfortable with APIs and databases.
How does the $500 credit work?
$500 of what you paid for this Operations Audit can be applied toward a consultation, the Business Systems Audit, or implementation work within one year of purchase. There is no project minimum. One credit per business, non-transferable.
What happens to my answers?
They are stored for three years so we can regenerate your report if you need it, and deleted on request at any time. They are not sold, shared, or used to train anything.
Not sure it is worth $995 yet?
Tell us what software you use and we will show you what is already known to break between those systems. Two minutes, no email, no account. Plenty of people work through that and never buy anything.
