Built for how you actually work.
A cook shop, a guesthouse and a joinery run differently. Operate switches on the parts each one needs and leaves the rest out of the way.
Five businesses, five set-ups.
These are fictional sample businesses. Pick one to see what turns on first.
Cook shops and restaurants
Shown with Spice Row Kitchen, a fictional sample business.
What turns on first
Three things it handles
- Ring up an order at the register and send the kitchen items to the board.
- Take a table booking and see which seats are free at noon.
- Work out the cost of a plate from its recipe, so you know what it earns.
Add GCT to sales once you tell Operate you are registered.
Guesthouses
Shown with Cove View Guesthouse, a fictional sample business.
What turns on first
Three things it handles
- See which rooms are occupied, arriving or free today.
- Open a guest bill, add extras as the stay goes on, and take payment at checkout.
- Book the meeting room or hire out equipment for a day.
Bookings cover rooms, spaces and rentals on one calendar.
Salons and barbers
Shown with Crown and Comb Salon, a fictional sample business.
What turns on first
Three things it handles
- Book appointments by stylist and send the reminder in WhatsApp yourself.
- Work out what each stylist is paid for a visit, by commission or chair rent.
- Add GCT to chair rent once you are registered.
Each client keeps a history, so you know who is due back.
Trades and joinery
Shown with Blue Ridge Joinery, a fictional sample business.
What turns on first
Three things it handles
- Quote a job, then turn the accepted quote into a job.
- Record materials and crew hours against it and see the cost so far.
- Invoice the customer and watch what is still owed.
Job costing is read-only: it shows what a job cost, it does not post to your books.
Produce and farm stalls
Shown with Parish Fresh Produce, a fictional sample business.
What turns on first
Three things it handles
- Track each batch with its expiry date, so the oldest sells first.
- Write off spoiled stock with a reason, leaving a visible record.
- Take orders from your online store, paid when the customer collects.
Keep a produce catalog with prices by the pound or by the bunch.
And the rest of the profiles.
Corner shops and retail
Scan or tap to sell, keep simple stock, run a trust book for regulars who pay on account.
Food processing and makers
Track production and batches, cost what you make, and see which products earn the most.
Transport
Quote and invoice each haul or trip, log fuel and repairs as expenses, track your vehicles as assets.
Services
Book appointments or site visits, send invoices, and keep a record of every customer.
Creative
Quote a project, book a shoot or event, and invoice in stages as work is delivered.
A new industry is a profile, not new software. Move, remove or add modules any time.
