Fit check

Built for the business between "we'll figure it out" and a full IT department.

A practical technology partner for teams with real systems, real customers, and no patience for opaque vendor speak.

✓ Good fit

  • Leander / Austin-area businesses, 5–75 employees, no full-time IT hire
  • Restaurants and hospitality groups running (or considering) Toast
  • Professional offices — legal, medical, financial — juggling multiple tech vendors
  • Retail and service businesses ready to stop guessing where AI actually helps

— Weaker fit

  • Solo operators with no staff or systems to manage — the $85 quick-fix call is a better start
  • Businesses already happy with an existing in-house IT team or MSP, with no specific gap
How it works

Three steps. Actual deadlines.

01 / DISCOVER

60-minute walkthrough

On-site or video. We go through your network, systems, devices, POS, and where AI keeps coming up in conversation.

02 / ASSESS

Written findings in 3 business days

A ranked report: security gaps, systems inefficiencies, device/identity cleanup, and specific AI opportunities — each with a real cost estimate.

03 / DECIDE

30-minute review call

We go through the findings together and decide what, if anything, gets fixed first.

The guarantee

If the audit doesn't identify at least 3 concrete, fixable issues or 5+ hours a week you can win back, you don't pay. No fine print.

Booking runs through Cal.com. Payment is collected securely via Stripe at the time of booking. On-site or video, your choice.

Services & pricing

Real prices. No "contact for quote."

Start with the audit, or the quick-fix call if you already know what's broken. Everything below scales up from there.

Named specialty

Toast POS, done right the first time.

I've worked hands-on with Toast — implementation, migration, and untangling systems that were fighting the staff instead of helping them. If your POS is the thing everyone complains about, that's exactly what this fixes.

Ask about your Toast setup ↗
  • Menu builds that match how your kitchen or floor actually runs
  • Migration from legacy POS with reporting parity, not a fresh start from zero
  • Staff training that sticks past week one
  • Integration troubleshooting — loyalty, online ordering, payroll, R365
Proof

Systems I've shipped.

Easy Tiger · 2021

M365 consolidation analysis

Easy Tiger · 2021–2022

Zero-touch deployment

Rolled out Apple Business Manager synced with Intune so new hardware provisioned itself — no manual imaging, no bottleneck at onboarding.

Better Business Bureau · 2018–2020

Automated onboarding

Replaced manual on/off-boarding steps with PowerShell, then rolled the process out organization-wide.

AMBA · 2020

Zendesk ticketing overhaul

Engineered a streamlined Zendesk ticketing system that cut support costs and sped up resolution times during a six-month engagement.

About

Why this, why me.

Fifteen years in IT — from individual device repair to running systems for a hundred-plus person company, to supporting law firms that can't afford a dropped ball. Somewhere in there, the instinct kept showing up: when something worked, I wanted to know if I could teach someone else to run it too.

That's the actual difference here. A lot of technology help either fixes the thing and leaves, or explains it in a way nobody remembers a week later. I've spent over a decade building curricula and training programs — the fix and the explanation come from the same person, and it's built to stick.

FAQ

Before you ask.

How is this different from a managed IT provider?

Most MSPs price by seat and don't touch POS systems or AI. This covers the network, the systems, the POS, and the AI layer under one flat-fee audit — no per-seat contract required to start.

How is this different from an AI consultant?

AI recommendations are worthless if the network is unreliable or the systems underneath are a mess. The audit looks at the whole stack first, then places AI where it actually fits — not as the whole pitch.

What if I only need one thing fixed?

Start with the $85 quick-fix call. If it's bigger than 20 minutes can solve, it gets scoped as a project from there.

Do you offer free consultations?

A short call to confirm fit, yes. Diagnosing or solving a real problem is what the paid audit and quick-fix calls are for — that's by design, so the time going into your business is time you're paying for, not whatever's left over.
